October Concerts

So begins my favorite month of the year.  Mild, yet comfortable temperatures, endless marathons of horrible scary films, and pumpkin flavored.....everything are just some of October's many highlights.  As for live music this month, the highlights start early tomorrow with former Dum Dum Girls member Frankie Rose playing a show at Soundlab.  Some long running acts - Ben Folds Five, Fiona Apple, Godspeed You! Black Emperor - also make a welcome visit to Buffalo over the first couple weeks of the month.  And of course Halloween ends the month, where Buffalo just gets kind of weird.  Sprinkle in a few album release shows from the Tins, Nick Gordon, and Aircraft and you have the makings of a solid month of shows.

August Concerts


This great Buffalo summer of music is still in high gear, and luckly the end is still far off.  The month kicks off with a great 1-2 punch.  Psych dance outfit Yeasayer begins the month of August with a bang, continuing Town Ballroom's stellar year of striking when the iron is hot,  followed by tomorrow's Thursday at the Harbor show with the Jesus and Mary Chain.  One of the more influential post-punk bands from the mid to late 1980s, the JaMC should be one of the more interesting harbor shows of the summer.  Later this month, mash up artist extraordinaire Girl Talk plays the inaugural show of Outer Harbor Series, which given GT's massive accessibility, expect an equally massive crowd.  The rest of the month is filled in with great local showcases, beginning tonight at Mohawk Place with Brother Keep, the Breathing Tree, and the Temps of course the end run of this year's Buffalo Infringement Festival.  Now you can never see every show, but it's best to star planning now to prove me wrong.

July Concerts

July certainly begins with a bang for music lovers, and that's not even counting this week's fireworks.  Ugh, that sounds even worse than it did in my head, but seriously, after the 4th of July holiday nicely breaks up the work week on Wednesday, the month really gets rolling.  If you like your indie/alt rock, then how about this 10 day stretch of Sleigh Bells, Youth Lagoon, Father John Misty, Feist, and Andrew Bird. Alright I guess you can include Weezer in there, but I certainly won't be seeing them. Anyways, we are still in Buffalo right?  Since when do we have a stretch of shows that strong?  Also, if we ever want to see some form of another Bidwell Indie 500 show from Steak & Cake, the fundraising begins this month at label founder/runner Brandon Schlia's back yard.  Later this month, the blog returns to the roof top of the Broadway Market for our 2nd installment on our rooftop extravaganza as part of the Infringement Festival.  Now I may be bias, but this is still the best venue for infringing so make sure to check it out.
