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.

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.
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.
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.
