Tonight: Punk N' Tots

Keeping Punk N' Tots alive is up to you, punkerrrzz. Come out to enjoy another PNT event TONIGHT at Broadway Joe's. On the bill is San Diego street punk band Some Kind of Nightmare, and Buffalo-native bands Jump the BlindsOn the Cinder, and Beardmosis. 

The event stays nice and cheap for them dirty street kids (clean ones are acceptable as well), with entrance priced at $5 - the least you could pay to thank touring Some Kind of Nightmare for coming out. Beer pitchers are $6 and, of course, FREE FUCKIN' TOTS!

Make sure you bring your ID, as the event is 18 and up. Find a sitter for the kiddies and plan to get shitty.






Artist Spotlight: Jump The Blinds


So I'd kinda heard of Jump The Blinds, but flaked on getting around to checking them out until a photog friend, who'd taken pictures of them play in Montreal a few weeks ago, sent me a link to their Soundcloud page. The Niagara Falls-based four-piece is new-ish, or maybe they've been around a while, but since they've only played Buffalo a handful of times, I'm gonna Christopher Columbus it and say they're new. It sounds basementy and anxious and impetuous, with angular guitar parts and alt-funk bass, and a singer who seems to have his tongue in his cheek even when he slips from a listless drawl into a scream. Like a combination of Cap'n Jazz's free-form post-punk and Orchid's urgent shout-core, mixed with the lo-fi DIY pop of Bedroomdrunk. They're playing the opening night of Infringement Fest at Nietzsche's next week; if you're into hectic, sardonic screampunk, then get into it and check them out.
