While often overshadowed by folks like Rick James, Ani DiFranco, and the Goo Goo Dolls, Mark Freeland was one of the all-too-rare treasures of the Buffalo music scene. From the theatrical prog-rock act Pegasus (which he formed as a teenager in the 70s), to the visceral punk of The Fems and the synthed-out strangeness of Electroman, along with countless other acts and collaborations, the man provided Buffalo with a terrifying amount of creativity and artistic output (he also was an accomplished painter). While Freeland never quite achieved the transcendent fame he so palpably craved, he entertained the F out of local audiences for almost four decades, before peacefully passing away in 2007. Since then, friends and fans have gotten together to celebrate the gifted artist with ElectroRespect, an annual show chock full of loving tributes. ElectroRespect 5 will be going down at Nietzsche's tonight (248 Allen St., 9PM, $5), and will feature performances by Cowboys of Scotland, David Kane, The Disobedient Quartet, Emile Latimer's Kinfolk, Pillow Queen, Nick Gordon, Jeff Repeater, the Fems Fatale, and Robby Takac. Come on down and pay respect to a guy who's affected everyone here in some way or another.
