Tonight: buffaBLOG's 2nd Birthday Party


The first buffaBLOG post was on March 28th of 2010 (and what a post it was).  Since then, we have written over 2200 posts,  recorded dozens of podcasts, and attended hundreds of concerts, which leads us up to today, as our little blog has turned two years old.  Tonight, we are throwing ourselves a birthday party and what better way to celebrate than with a handful of our favorite Buffalo musicians.  All week long, we have been previewing our stellar lineup of acts, which constists of Andrew J. Reimers' Country Punk Extravanganza, Early Attic, On Beta, Ramforinkus, and Voodoo Friends, but as for tonight, make sure to get to Nietzsche's for the real thing.  Music begins at 10:00pm sharp, with a cover of only $5, and goes all night long.  Be there to celebrate this great night with us.  I can only hope our birthday is as glorious as Don's was.

buffablog 2nd Birthday Party Artist Spotlight: Ramforinkus


If you haven't seen local rock band Ramforinkus perform yet, then you really can't afford to skip out on Saturday night.  Ramforinkus will be finishing out the night for us with a high energy, entertaining set around 1 am. The band has grown to an impressive 7 person lineup featuring 2 percussionists (one with a tape machine), electric violin (newest member is Evan Courtin of Peanut Brittle Satellite), and a trombone in addition to the common guitars and bass.  Each member brings a different sound and style to the band which creates a very eclectic live show where no two sets are the same.  The band is debuting two new songs Saturday night and their next album is almost complete.  

In a recent conversation with one of their guitarists about where I should categorize Ramforinkus musically, we landed somewhere around "freak rock".... I realize this doesn't make much sense but that's pretty much all you need to know before seeing this band. They can get weird on stage (last show I saw them there was a discussion on how much they love carrots), their lyrics have questionable meanings but there is one thing for certain...  they are talented musicians. I am certainly looking forward to watching Ramforinkus close out a wonderful night of music and we really hope you enjoy your night at Nietzsches with us! The music kicks off at 10 pm (Ramforinks not until 1 am), $5. SEE YOU THERE!!

Tonight: Kurt & The Loders


"80s Nights" have been a big deal ever since (I'm guessing here) January 1st, 1990. But since the early 00s, I've often found myself wondering aloud when "90s Nights" would begin to take hold. If you, too, grew up in that golden, end-of-the-century era in which Rock redefined itself, and Rap was officially co-opted by white kids, then you, too, might've been wondering that same thing. Fortunately, a handful of local musicians will be making the dream a reality tonight at Duke's Bohemian Grove Bar (DBGB's, 253 Allen St., 10pm). According to the FB invite, Kurt & The Loders (featuring members of Son of the Sun, Here Come The Comets, Ramforinkus, and Sleepy Hahas) will be playing mostly heavier selections from the decade that "made them the self-loathing, obsessive, manic freakshow people they are today" - Local H, Alice in Chains, NIN - though they assure us there will be some "guilty pleasure" songs in there for good measure. 90s DJ sets and "era-priced" drink specials sweeten the deal. And speaking of guilty pleasures, I'm hoping it goes down like this:

Tonight: Thanksgiving Eve Turkey Jam


Many folks say the night before Thanksgiving is the biggest party night of the year. Maybe it’s because we’re eager to start over-indulging, or maybe it’s just that Thanksgiving eve doesn’t come loaded with family obligations the way other holidays do. Whatever the cause may be, Nietzsche’s plans to tap into that party spirit tonight with its “Thanksgiving Eve Turkey Jam.”


Starting at 9pm, you can get your fill of great music for only $5. The main stage will host the likes of Type Relevant, Rhubarb, Universe Shark, On the Sly, and Ramforinkus, while Shapes of States and Will Folk for Food hold down the front stage.


If you’re out reveling on Allen Street tonight, stop into Nietzsche’s and feast your ears on some terrific turkey tunes.

Tonight: MK Groove Trio


Those who prefer their songs short and sweet may wish to stay home as tonight at Nietzsche's, extended jams, deep grooves, and pretty much long songs, to be honest with you, will dominate as the venue welcomes the particularly funky MK Groove Trio.  Led by Mike Krammers, a Syracuse native who currently resides in Brooklyn, the MK Groove Trio will be touring the state in support of their new EP The Claustrophobic Noise.  The trio is made of up the rhythm section of the 13 piece outfit Space Funk.  For a taste of what the Trio will bring to Nietzsche's tonight, give yourself a listen to a preview of their EP.  Horns a plenty and DEEP bass dominate the lead off track, "Fists of Fury" of the EP, which will be released on September 17th 

Opening for the MK Groove Trio will Buffalo's Ramforinkus and Peanut Brittle Satellite.  Fresh off a performance at Slyfest, the indie jam act Ramforinkus continues to evolve their sound to cover ska, jazz, grunge, and countless other genres.  Their recent performance at the College Street Block Party during this year's Infringement Festival saw the act introduce some very jazz heavy new numbers.  You can currently purchase their latest singles at their iTunes page.  Also in support  tonight will the prog rock jam outfit Peanute Brittle Satellite, who just last April celebrated the release of their latest album Planet Girth.  With influences from Pink Floyd, Frank Zappa, and Genesis, the band is nothing if not ambitious.  Plus, they have a glockenspiel.   

Tonight's MK Groove Trio show w/Ramforinkus and Peanut Brittle Satellite begins at 10:00pm.  Although cover is not specified, chances are it will be closer to $8-$10 for the show.
