For me, no bands sums up the promise of Buffalo's music scene and Buffalo itself more than Forealists. This Prince and The Revolution meets Passion Pit party/space/electronic funk outfit featuring Rocco DellaNeve, Kevin Urso, Beat Masta Wes, Deshawn "D-Ray" Jackson, and bass queen Zuri Appleby is the sound of past and the future going off simultaneously creating something that's still unfolding before our eyes. The last time I saw them, they'd turned the back room at Duke's into a fantastical dance party freak out that was uplifting, a sensory overload, and completely irresistible. They called for fancy dress and their devoted and growing flock obliged, a lot of people came together and got down, and for a city ridden with barriers and nonsense, it was beautiful... and funky as hell. Forealists are a special band. buffaBLOG is honored to have their next thang be our Holiday Party, and I for one cannot wait.
