If you're looking to kick back with a pint after amassing your Record Store Day booty, Sugar City is presenting a free event down at Essex St. Pub that's worth checking out. A plethora of Buffalo based bands, including Failure's Union, UVB-76, Jack Toft, Handsome Jack, Cages, A Relative Term, and more will be showcasing their music videos with a special screening. The screening will also feature music video premieres from JOHNS and Mallwalkers. The event goes from 9-11, so whether you're still reeling from the fisticuffs you got in with someone over that last Space Wolves cassette, or you've smoked enough weed to realize that you just want to drink without talking to people, make this your stop.

Continuing in the tradition of support for paralyzed guitar gun-slinger Tony Lorenzo, an all-star hardcore reunion show has been put together at the Mohawk Place tonight. Local legends and Trustkill alumni It Dies Today headline a bill thats sure to stir some memories for those of us who were around to witness their hayday in the early 2000's. What makes it even more special is that it's a reunion with their original singer, Nick Brooks, who formed 1/5 of the "classic lineup."

The band quietly called it quits two years ago after releasing Lividity with singer, Jason Woods. Jason was undoubtedly a great singer, but the chemistry with their original singer, Nick Brooks, was special. Their first album, the Caitiff Choir, is an undeniable classic of the genre and the band were absolute killers live.

Also reuniting for the cause are Buffalo's Infamous (featuring Joe who now plays with Goodbye Cruel World), mosh masters xtothisdayx, and Rivalry. Bestower are playing as well. Because the show is a benefit you have the option of donating 10, 25 or 50 dollars for the cause. Events like this only happen once in a great while. It's for a good cause and the show is sure to be epic. Contribute what you can and bring some money for Tony! 7pm kickoff.
