Following in the footsteps of Canadian acts like the Tragically Hip, Sam Roberts Band, and the Arkells, Wildlife appear to be the next band in line to continue Buffalo's man crush with acts from the north. I will never quite understand it, but this city has a thing for adopting Canadian acts as our own and I fully except/hope the same for the Toronto five piece.
The band dropped its stellar album, ...On the Heart, a collection of big and rousing anthems without some of the heavy handedness of acts like Arcade Fire and U2, earlier this year, and will make a return to the city later this month (Thurs, Oct. 17th) with their first appearance at the Waiting Room. I finally got to the venue for a couple weeks ago for a proper show, the devastatingly good Spiritualized, and was blown away by the sound in the place.
Opening for Wildlife will be one of Buffalo's musical gems, Roger Bryan & the Orphans (think Ryan Adams fronting the Replacements). The band has been rather absent from the stage since the closing of Mohawk Place, and with some new songs in works, this is as good of a time as any to catch them Tickets are on sale now at TicketFly for the very cheap $8, or $10 the night of. Shows starts at 8pm.
