Tonight: tUnE-yArDs


tUnE-yArDs at Town Ballroom, 7 p.m.! Put that sentence on a loop in your head because Merrill Garbus’s music project will be in its full glory tonight for the first time in Buffalo. Accompanied by funky bassist Nate Brenner and a wily saxophone section, Garbus will be creating afro-beats for us all night long, often composed of nothing but her ukulee and octave-dancing voice. Coming off her critically acclaimed album of 2011 w h o k i l l, Garbus has been performing all over the country, especially within the festival circuit. Tonight may be a more intimate affair, it being a Wednesday and the show getting nowhere near the press of other indie favorites like M83.  All the more room to dance in my opinion; I wouldn’t pass this up. Tickets are $22. Delicate Steve is the opener.

  1. They played in Buffalo with Xiu Xiu at Mohawk Place in 2010. I thought they were coming here for the first time as well but Merrill talked about coming here before on stage tonight.

  2. also, surprisingly Town Ballroom was at or near capacity.

    I went to the empty Fucked Up show on a Sunday last year so I know how bad this area can be with shows that aren't on Friday or Saturday.

  3. wow near capacity? that is great to know that her show got such a good attendance! i saw her play at Bonnaroo on youtube, so i decided to save the 1 hour drive and the $22, but i bet it was a pretty great show.
