This hellish winter has put a spell on all of us, leaving Western NYers drained, stale and, for lack of better words, "over it". So it makes perfect sense that Buffalo surf-punks, Mayday, would name their upcoming tour the "Life's a Beach" tour (It's also an utterly fantastic Kurt Vile jam); a tribute to all things warm, beachy, and awesome. My minds already on to warmer pastures.
Tour kicks off tonight at the Northrup House (ask a punk, 7pm, $6) with a heavyweight bill of locals including Flood Drinker, known for drinking floods, stoner rock outcasts, Malarchuk, Grain Assault (who I assume assaults grain in their spare time?), and Sexist. A cool show to support a cool local band as they go on a cool tour and, hopefully, have some cool times. And while you're at it, buy Mayday's new EP. I hear it rips.
This show was purty dern good.
