Small Smalls Releases Halloween Song
Check Out Big Synth Hooks from Small Smalls
Recorded at Hi-Lo Studios, Small Smalls is Buffalo synth-pop that would fit comfortably on the Arts & Crafts Records roster (think Broken Social Scene, Stars, Ra Ra Riot, etc.). In fact, this female-fronted duo is quite reminiscent of the synth-y, love-fueled indie rock of Stars, with perhaps a slight tinge of Lemuria on the vocals. They recently posted a few songs to their Soundcloud - check out the single, "Brave Bird," below.
Tonight: Yip Deceiver
Athens, Georgia dance pop duo Yip Deceiver is the project of multi-instrumentalist Davey Pierce, best known as the bassist for of Montreal, and Nicolas Dobbratz. Their debut LP, Medallius was released earlier this year, a record that combines playfully experimental pop songwriting with analog dance production to create a charismatic sound built on powerful hooks. Tonight the pair will perform at Babeville's Ninth Ward along with local synthpop duo Love Scenes and dream pop band Small Smalls. According to Pierce, the band's live show is characterized by "music for a weird night of random adventure" and a "genuine expression of who we are and what we love without taking ourselves too seriously." Tickets are $10 advance, $12 at the door. Show starts at 8pm.

5 Must See Acts @ Music Is Art
The 11th Annual Music is Art Festival is nearly upon us. Beginning at 10 a.m. tomorrow, Delaware Park will offer an electric mix of musical genres spread over a handful of stages. As with all music festivals, you take the good with the bad. Not every act is going to be worth your time. Fortunately for you, if you needed a few suggestions on who to check out, you have come to the write place. Check out the 5 acts we feel should not be missed tomorrow.
12:45pm-1:15pm - Main Stage
If you if you are walking around in the hot sun and come across an intoxicated cowboy yelling at children, then you just stumbled upon Well Worn Boot. Consisting of Plainsman (flute/vocals), Horse (guitarist), Baby Buckingham (terrifying cowbaby hybrid/bassist) and Billy Klubb (drums), this riotous foursome is one of Buffalo’s ultimate drunk/party bands. Think of it as if a Jethro Tull and GWAR hybrid got a gig at Frightworld. 
3:45pm-4pm - Stage 3
Proving not all of the acts featured at MiA are local, international
touring band The Nursery will be traveling all the way from Toronto,
Canada for tomorrow's event. Fresh off dropping their latest EP, Carnival Nature, earlier this summer, this foursome plays a nervy and bouncy blend of dance pop that fans of Aqualung, Anathallo, and even Islands should check out.
5pm-5:15pm - Stage 2
Small Smalls is one of the up-and-coming bands buzzed about in Buffalo. The current lineup includes Collette Montague (bass, keys, vocals), Steve Malczewski (guitar, keys, vocals), Tristain Trump (bass, Korg) and Dave Borden (drums). The sound could best be described as somewhat somber dream-pop that does not take itself too seriously. If you are a fan of some of the band members' previous works, Bear Flames or Patrons of Sweet, then you should definitely check them out.
5:45pm-6:00pm - Stage 2
Weird Structures could best be described as a shoegaze blast with '80s indie rock influences. The trio, featuring John Walsh, formerly of Cemeteries, is still a fairly young project but I’m looking to seeing them pop-up on more bills beyond MiA and Gowanda street festivals. Fans of DIIV, The Cure, or even Secret Machines would dig this.
9:30pm-10pm - Lincoln
Forealists burst on our radar this past August with their music video for their debut single, "Livin' It Up." I'm not really sure how many people are in the band, or if the guy wearing that mask is really doing anything; regardless, this band is fun, funky, and has the rare ability to stick in your head like your most embarrassing teenage regrets. If you are into dancing or electro or even funk, check them out. Here is the video for their Kaskade/Deadmau5 cover medley:
