Tonight: TMMC, Mordaunt Sisters and the Afterbirth Tycoon


Tonight marks the second last night of the Vault's existence and it's been a wild ride. The art haus/venue/"creative space for anyone that wants to get creative" has meant alot to Buffalo in it's short time here and I, for one, will miss it. Sadly another great venue bites the dust.

 Now, we can choose to get all weepy, or we can choose to celebrate. I'll go with option number two. Come down and party one more time with some of Buffalo's favorite locals TMMC (Tracy Morrow and Magi Chippie), the Mordaunt Sisters, and the Afterbirth Tycoon. Check out the track below by the way. It was recorded by the Afterbirth Tycoon at, where else? The Vault. Music kicks off at 8:00pm.

Tonight: Mohawk Place X-Mas Celebration


Tonight Mohawk Place will put on one final Christmas bash before it closes its doors for good in a few weeks. Its a sad reality, but there’s no better way to celebrate the holidays by going out with friends, supporting talented local bands, while also honoring what will go down as one of Buffalo’s greatest venues. The Mordaunt Sisters, On Beta, and The Merchants are all on the bill, including an acoustic set from Bill Nehill. This is sure to be a great local indie-rock showcase, complete with drink specials, Christmas cookies, and free admission too! Doors are at 7. Come celebrate Christmas with your friends at Mohawk.

Tonight: Dirty Dishes, The Mordaunt Sisters, and Love Scenes


Tonight there is a not-to-be-missed triple bill over at DBGB’s featuring a double dose of local talent with The Mordaunt Sisters and Love Scenes, and Boston, psych-rock four-piece Dirty Dishes. As you know, we’ve been gushing about Love Scenes and Mordaunt Sisters here at the blog as much as possible, with Love Scene’s latest release Blissed-Out Youth being featured as our Album of the Week back at the beginning of July and The Mordaunt Sisters, who are consistently popping up on our radar, playing many gigs, not to mention being featured at the #3 spot on 2011’s Top Buffalo Bands list. As for Dirty Dishes, it is a rare experience to hear a psych-rock branded group that can stretch itself to such diverse corners of songwriting. Firstly, there are the vulnerable, 90’s style guitar riffs on display at the start of tracks like “Break” and “Bloom” that are paired so uniquely well with lead singer Jenny Tuite’s tip-toeing, breathless vocals as she ushers us so painlessly in. “Gaze” also starts very much like this, and suddenly the listener is tossed into coerced, seamless drum rhythms and feedback that send a shot of adrenaline along with the icy tag: “We are fading fast.” Within the structure of their songwriting, they tow the same line as alternative 90s gods The Smashing Pumpkins or My Bloody Valentine. This is definitely a show to get excited for, so clear your schedule tonight and get a move-on to Duke’s. The show starts at 10.

Tonight: The Mordaunt Sisters w/All of Them Witches and more



Temperatures are finally cooling off a bit, thanks in part to this much needed rain, so it appears safe to head out without the fear of heat exhaustion.  So why not head over to Mohawk Place tonight.  Headlining quite the full bill tonight will be the dark folk sounds of the Mordaunt Sisters.  Led by vocalists Kelly and Mallory, in addition to Bryce March's haunting slide guitar, the music almost has to be complimented with a little whiskey to help set the mood right.  Also playing tonight are buzz worthy math rock duo All of Them Witches, Orphans guitarist Matt Smith's retro power pop, while Chicago's Scott Rankie brings his bran of alt country along for good measure.  Cover is $6, while doors open at 8:00pm.

Tonight: Sleepy Sun


Bay area quintet Sleepy Sun will be playing at Mohawk Place tonight, touring behind their third LP, Spine Hits, which came out on April 10th. The psychedelic rockers have toured with Arctic Monkeys and The Black Angels in the past, and their sound has been compared, almost annoyingly, to that of Zeppelin and Sabbath. Don’t get me wrong, their sound can be pretty much summed up as unadulterated stoner rock, but there seems to be a more topographical approach to their songwriting that brings an intricate and focused take on an all-to-often predictable brand of pop-psychedelia. Touring with Sleepy Sun are White Hills, who have just released their new album, Frying on this Rock, and by no coincidence subscribe to a similar style of fuzzed-out space rock as their tour-mates. Also, the guitar-hazed, Buffalo buzz-band, Mordaunt Sisters, will be opening, so make sure to arrive early! Tickets are $12 at the door. The show starts at 8.

Tonight: The Mordaunt Sisters


Son of a bitch.

That is what I muttered to myself as I listened through The Mordaunt Sisters' three songs they have posted on their website earlier this week.

Son of a biiittttch... this is what Buffalo needs!  Screw that, this is what I need.

Things I like: minimalist soundscapes, female vocals, layers of sound effects
(i.e. - the pick scrapes in "Hirschfield"), and female vocals.  I also enjoy music with female vocals.

Lucky for me, The Mordaunt Sisters have all these things in spades.

Lucky for me, you, and everyone else in Buffalo, The Mordaunt Sisters are playing at DBGB's tonight at 10pm.

Do yourself a favor and come to the show tonight, you'll be rewarded with a set that is sure to be unfeigned and original.  Plus, you'll have a chance to see what a glockenspiel looks like!

The Record Theatre staff will be spinning choice cuts throughout the evening as well, so you are guaranteed to hear some killer tunes tonight.

Tonight: White Bison, The Mordaunt Sisters, Nick Gordon & The Curse Words


The lineup for tonight's Mohawk Place  show is one we've been looking forward to for a while. The super-bleak, super-heavy prog trio White Bison and super-bleak, super-haunted folk outfit Mordaunt Sisters both made our Best-Of list last year. They're going to be joined by Buffalo indie-folk veteran Nick Gordon (who is billed with The Curse Words, which could either be a backing band... or a fair warning). Show is at 47 E. Mohawk St, starts at 9pm, and costs seven bucks. Get into it (and check out our interview with WB while you are in the process of getting into it).

Tonight: Sonorous Gale, Mordaunt Sisters, Bone Vapor


If your ears haven't filed assault and battery charges against you in a while and that makes you uncomfortable, then definitely head down to Allentown tonight for the Sonorous Gale show (Nietzsche's, 248 Allen St., 9pm, $5). This two-piece has been a staple of loud, loud Buffalo line-ups for years, blasting their proggy sludge noise at countless basements and dive bars full of melting faces. You wouldn't believe the amount of sound they generate with just bass and drums, unless of course you've been one of those faces. Tonight's show also features Bone Vapor, who described themselves as “this insane machine of riff assault” in a recent buffaloshows.net post. And just to lull your ear drums into a false sense of security, The Mordaunt Sisters will be providing their slow, wasteland folk. Or, well. Nothing is rushed about them; they took months to get the full band together and start releasing music, and I haven't seen them in a while, so who knows. Maybe they're spazzcore now?

Tonight: A Hawk & a Hacksaw w/The Mordaunt Sisters


Marty Boratin & Susan Tanner's House Concert Series returns tonight with a performance from Albuquerque's A Hawk & a Hacksaw, a duo featuring former Neutral Milk Hotel drummer Jeremy Bates on drums and accordion and violinist Heather Trost.  Fans of fellow New Mexico native Zach Condon aka Beirut's Eastern European infused Gypsy folk would be wise to make the trek to Hamburg tonight for one of Buffalo's more unique live music experiences.  Also playing tonight's House Concert are the Mordaunt Sisters who just recently played the Handsome Jack CD Release Party last week.  With only a handful of shows under their belt, the group, who remind us of a haunted Americana version of Beach House, are quickly becoming one of our favorite and most promising Buffalo acts.

Tonight's House Concert at Marty & Susan's house (7341 Nelson Drive in Hamburg) begins at 7:00, with a pot-luck cook out beginning at 5:00.  BYOB and BYOC(chair) of course.  Show is rain or shine, as their house can comfortably fit a 50 person audience if the weather does not permit.  The suggested donation is $10.
