Tonight: Cut Copy w/Jessy Lanza


Over the last ten years, Cut Copy has been one of the most consistently solid electro-pop acts out there. On last year's Free Your Mind, the band inflected their sound with an acid house vibe and the result was excellent. Tonight, they will be returning to Buffalo with the equally great Jessy Lanza. Those who have seen the band before know that their live shows are not to be missed. 

 If you are unfamiliar with the opener, the Hamilton, Ontario based Jessy Lanza released the amazing Pull My Hair Back last year on Hyperdub. This strong debut was produced by the Junior Boys' Jeremy Greenspan. Lanza's icey grooves and spacey vocals make her an excellent opener for Cut Copy and this is definitely a show you should get to early.

Tonight: Sugar City Presents 2x4 - A Night of Duos feat. Schwervon!


One of the more unique bills in recent memory, 2x4 is centered around the simplest musical grouping, the duo. Bringing together a bunch of Buffalo mainstays, possibly in the name of science, 2x4 explores what ideas can come when two sensibilities come together to create something new. It is almost elemental. Even more elemental is the promised arm-wrestling competition, which is perhaps the most pure test of strength one can offer while also avoiding legal liability and insurance issues.

 Headlining tonight is Schwervon! a two piece known for raucous live sets and who have been described as an "expression of imperfect love through jagged rock minimalism." Opening for them will be a new duo featuring Eric Kendall (Stay Lows) and Nick Gordon (JOHNS), a noise based collaboration from weirdstronauts Bobby Griffiths and Andy Czuba, and a multimedia performance from Pat Kewley (local goof extraordinaire and sometimes Mark Twain impersonator) and Aimee Buyea (DIY/artspace tsar). The show starts promptly at 8 and will be held at the Jungle Gym.
