If you're feeling boisterous tonight you're definitely gonna wanna stop by 100 Plymouth Ave and check out Lucid Pyramids and Sparklebomb as they kick-off their weekend tour.

As you may recall Sparklebomb's debut tape Funeral Beats (released by Prime Ruin) is our album of the week. This evening poses as a rare opportunity to watch her recreate her sonic rendering of the paranormal infused with nostalgia; a soup of beats, fuzz, ghostly incantations, and gothic organs, exquisitely channeled by Conte in a living room setting. Teaming up with her for the tour is Lucid Pyramids, the brain child of Weston Czerkies and Shaun Sutton. Together they create horror-tinged soundscapes that delve deeper into the terrain of shifting, ominous, and brooding frequencies.

And if this hasn't caught your attention, the bill also includes some of the most exciting up and coming players in Buffalo's experimental scene: Fe Vajen (Dana Mcnight), Deceiver (Matt Goodrich), Kristachuwan (Chris Svobada), Eppo (Matt Eppolito), and Tyler Justin (T.J Borden). Needless to say, this event is undoubtedly a generous sample of what the subterranean end in Buffalo's lo-fi culture has to offer. The perfect lineup for those looking to challenge their auditory threshold and it begins at 8PM sharp (five dollar donation suggested). We'll catch you there.

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

Bust out your Power Gloves and head down to Nietzsche's tonight for it's annual multi-media extravaganza, focused on Lo-fi, 8-bit related art and sound.  According to the event invite: "If you push pixels... bend wires... draw, take photos, compose or perform on Gameboy/NES hardware, write poetry or make movies about Mario and Donkey Kong... or just love that old school vibe... this is the show for you." Live music will be provided by Jeffrepeater, Eppo, Ay Fast, Rory McCormack and Bolognatron.  Show starts at 9, if I'm lucky someone there will know how to get to the end of Faxanadu.
