The outer harbor is hosting Edgefest number whatever today, succinctly marginalizing the most promising new venue in the Buffalo area. While I think it's noble that the powers that be enabled the land to be put to the valuable use of convincing 103.3 The Edge they're still a thing, across town there are people working hard to actually support the city's growing music scene.  Today is the final day of the Tralf's three day long Betterdays Independent Music Festival. If you've coughed up the $10 to get in Friday or Saturday night, that means your ticket is still good for tonight. Why would you deny yourself the opportunity to catch some more of the city's best bands on one stage?

Speaking of which, those bands are:

Young Suns
Searching for Dinosaurs
Blue Shift
Fourwalls
Peanut Brittle Satellite

Like the other nights, doors are at 8pm, first band on shortly afterwards. If there are any cookies left at the snack bar, get on that shit. 

Tonight, head down to The Tralf to catch another night of the Betterdays Festival, which features some of Buffalo's best local music. For those of you who went to Day 1, you have already purchased your pass for tonight, so what reason do you have to miss another evening of great music, featuring Aircraft, Eppo, Love Scenes, Armageddon Party, All of Them Witches and Canary Girls? If you have not already purchased a pass, they are $10 and will also get you into tomorrow night's show. So, take the opportunity tonight and see all of the bands this blog has been writing about this year and then come back tomorrow for even more. That way, we can feel like we contribute to the greater good. I mean we do, but it is nice to be reminded.

Betterdays Festival Day 2
The Tralf Music Hall
7pm doors/8pm show
$10 for all three days

So the Betterdays Festival kickoff starts tonight and will be raging all weekend. Betterdays is a celebration and tribute to the city's diversity and raditude when it comes to local music, and if you haven't heard of the bands playing it, you probably haven't been following our blog. Here's what you need to know: the fest is taking place under one roof (the Tralf) this evening and will continue Saturday and Sunday beginning at 7pm each day. I'll spare the music descriptions...put simply Victory for Poland, the Merchants, Wakos, Anytime Anywhere and Early Attic are some of the best bands going right now. They've officially got my sealed endorsement, not that that means much. So I'll say they've got Obama's endorsement! A bit more credible I think although wholly untrue (I'm a liar). Either way, this is not to be missed...after all $10 for three days is nothing to scoff at. That's correct. 10 DOLLARS...for THREE DAYS. Do it to it.
