Tonight: Holy Fuck


Holy Fuck is a four piece live-electronic music ensemble whose ecstatically charged style has given them the reputation of being a band whose music is one that must be experienced live. Well, we are all in luck- cause tonight, these Toronto natives be playing at Soundlab. 

Keyboards, bass, and a drum kit alongside a myriad of unique sound-creating devices is incorporated within their live set-up-  one music critic has said of them- "It is a billowing, danceable sound, huge rhythms married to a billion electronic blips and ostinato figures, painting futuristic Technicolor soundscapes as loudly as possible." In addition, much of their live material is improvisation, but not of the jam-band sort, but the sort that has the initiative of recreating the essence of danceable electronic-tunes in a live-setting.

Lazlo Hollyfeld, the locally established post-rock band, will be opening up for them, delivering instrumental tunes that are a product of  influences as far reaching as Mogwai and Boards of Canada.

Together, the two bands will be casting the sonic equivalent of lightning upon the dark, cozy venue. Needless to say, it's not something to be missed. Doors open at 9 and tickets are $15.

Tonight: Godspeed You! Black Emperor


A day away from the release of their first new album in ten years, post rock vanguards Godspeed You! Black Emperor will be playing tonight at Town Ballroom. Since 1997, the Canadian group has released a string of masterful records, which oscillates, often in the course of one song, between the atmospheric, claustrophobic and ominous on one hand\and the uplifting and grandiose on the other. Mixed in with this during their live performance is an equally engaging series of video stills and loops comprised of found footage and old documents. The overall effect is immersible and memorable; more of an experience than a concert.

Opening for GY!BE will be a rare appearance by legendary media artist, Tony Conrad. This is not a show to be missed. Tickets are $28 and can still be purchased online or at the Town Ballroom box office.

Godspeed You! Black Emperor w/Tony Conrad
Town Ballroom
681 Main Street, Buffalo NY
Doors at 7pm
$28.00

Tonight: Lord Huron w/Night Moves


Hailing from LA, the psychedelic folk band, Lord Huron will be making a stop at Mohawk Place tonight to play tunes from their latest album, Lonesome Dreams, which was only released last Tuesday. The album has been described by an NPR article as straddling "the seasons with disarming deftness — sunny enough to distract, sweet enough to comfort." They've been likened to addictive folk groups such as Fleet Foxes and My Morning Jacket. 

They will be accompanied by Minneapolis based group Night Moves, whose debut album is being released this Tuesday under Domino Records. They come to Mohawk Place after an eventful summer of having toured with the Dirty Projectors. 

Doors open at 8 and tickets are $10
