Former Vault regular, the Chicago by way of Buffalo singer/songerwriter Julie Byrne, just graced bandcamp with a new song from her Holy Page Trilogy. Sounding like a female fronted Horse Feathers, the gorgeous "Melting Grid" is a sparse and hunting number, perfect for one of those sleepy winter nights by the fire place. Byrne will also be releasing a full length record in early 2014, via Orindal Records, titled Rooms With Walls and Windows. Further info on the album, which officially drops on Jan 21st, can be found here.

Those not heading to Flaming Lips have an excellent opportunity to hear one of Buffalo's best singer-songwriters (even if she is technically no longer a resident). Julie Byrne will be kicking off her tour, in support of her most recent 7", Faster or Greener Than Now, out on Orindal Records. Byrne's music is spare and haunting, anchored by her incredible voice. Past live performances have been hair raising as she usually performs, without amplification, in a pin drop silent room.

In addition to Byrne, there will be an exciting lineup of local and national performers including CS Luxem, Damian Weber, Jonathan Wood Vincent, and Jax. Finally, this strong bill is rounded out by buffaBlog Summer Party performer, Jack Toft, who will be doing -- one can only assume -- an array of exciting raps (as is his wont). The show is free, at the Triangle House (371 West Ave) and starts promptly at 9pm.

As if The Vault hasn’t been putting on enough awesome shows they will continue their streak tonight with electro-orchestral trio of Borden Cain Freeman including local acts Damian, Sean Kader, Julie Byrne, Jax Deluca, and DJ-ing from Handsome Dan.  From folk to electro-rock, a variety of sonic stylings will be represented, as each artist shares from their own diverse catalog. The show starts at 8. Admission is $6. Don’t miss out!
