Tonight, Western New York (and southern Ontario) are on the receiving end of a bonafide treat when neo psychedelic troublemakers MGMT make a rare local appearance at Artpark. Consisting of college chums Andrew Wyngarten and Benjamin Wasserman, MGMT was hot stuff from the get go thanks to a well received EP and the resoundingly critically acclaimed debut LP Oracular Spectacular (2007) before running into the critical thresher with their 2010 release Congratulations. It wasn't that it was a necessarily bad or uninteresting album, just a bit too indulgent and purposely lacking in the best aspects of Oracular Spectucular. With an eponymous third album on the way, MGMT is looking to get back on track, making tonight's local debut even more hotly anticipated. Tickets are $15, gates open at 4:30, and the show starts at 6:30.
