Want a crash course in Buffalo's musical range? For sweaty Grade-A street smart genius, look no further than Team Radio's crew of progressive songsters, high-ambition hip-hop, dub-step, and alternative artists with depth, vision, and dance floor finesse.

To elaborate: Tonight there is going to be an unmissable show at The Waiting Room featuring performances by Grabbitz, Chae Hawk, and Crooks. Chae Hawk, who has opened for the likes of Talib Kaweli, LL Cool J, and Salt n' Peppa, already has an established presence in the Buffalo music scene. His album Dance Party for the Heavy Hearted is a piece of greatness that deserves worldwide spins. Grabbitz, his associate and producer, is a dangerous dub-stepping force in his own right and alongside the Crooks' rocking vigor is sure to make this evening's trifecta of entertainment an essential experience.

Tickets for "Teamwork 2013" are $10 and include a donation to Compeer of Greater Buffalo. 

As Mohawk Place winds down to it's final days, more and more bands and promoters are saying their final goodbyes. Tonight brings the final Mohawk show from After Dark Entertainment, but it also marks the debut of Buffalo's own Made Violent. I'd like to say something about Made Violent, but I have no idea what they sound like. The "listen" link on After Dark's website takes me to Brother Keep's facebook page (which isn't necessarily a bad thing, Brother Keep is good). Speaking of which, tonight is the official CD release for Brother Keep, whose terrific Face Like a Map made our Album of the Week. The show is also being co-sponsored by Quiet Country Audio, who have been producing some quality work for a number of bands both local and national, including Sleepy Hahas, who are also on tonight's bill. I couldn't find anything on Crooks, due to them being another in a long line of impossible-to-google-band-names (I'm looking at you, Love Scenes). I guess you'll just have to stop pretending to be bothered by all this snow and go find out for yourself. Tickets are $8 and doors are at 10.
