Tonight: Handsome Jack, Velvet Elvis, and Merchants


Tonight Nietzsche's has a ludicrously killer WNY line-up that's going to be a cannot miss show featuring Handsome Jack, Velvet Elvis, and Merchants working the main stage and Zak Ward, Andy Vaeth, and Sonny Baker manning the front stage for a night of non stop rock. And get this, $5 gets you in the door to enjoy this festival of fine local music ($.83 a band!). You can't beat that. Come on. Handsome Jack and Merchants are certified buffaBLOG favorites, Velvet Elvis are Rochester favorites making a welcome return to the 716, and Ward, Vaeth and Baker are the icing on the cake. This can't miss show kicks off at 10, and again the cover is a measly $5. You should go to there.

Tonight: Velvet Elvis


Tonight, Rochester's Velvet Elvis is playing a special show at the Ninth Ward to celebrate their new full length album In Deep Time with Buffalo's Second Trip and Sleepy Haha's providing opening support. I chatted with one of the dude's in Velvet Elvis a few years back at a Vampire Weekend show in Rochester and I adjudged his rock and roll soul to be true, and Velvet Elvis's heavy duty Black Mountain vibe is sure to please, while blog favorites Sleepy Hahas will be playing cuts from their latest ep I Am Not A Happy Person (reviewed here) and raising the usual hell. It's always a good time when the Rochester and Buffalo scenes collide (ie the 2012 buffaBLOG Holiday Party), and tonight's killer riff fest has all of the ingredients for a memorable night. Doors open at 8 PM and tickets are $10.
