Ten years ago Buffalo staple, The Bloody Hollies, released Fire at Will, a seminal rock'n'roll record that essentially broke the band nationally and internationally. Since that time the band has relocated to California, toured the world, appeared on John Peel, and continued to grow and expand their sound, all while gaining legions of die-hard rock'n'roll fans in the process.

Tonight, in celebration of Fire at Will's ten year anniversary, the group will be performing at Waiting Room (10pm, $10) alongside two of Buffalo's own, ronaldraygun and the Afterbirth Tycoon. The old lineup, Wes, Mike and Philip, are even getting back together to make tonight's show a special one. If you like hard-charged, blues-soaked, no frills rock'n'roll this is the show for you.

Tonight marks the second last night of the Vault's existence and it's been a wild ride. The art haus/venue/"creative space for anyone that wants to get creative" has meant alot to Buffalo in it's short time here and I, for one, will miss it. Sadly another great venue bites the dust.

Now, we can choose to get all weepy, or we can choose to celebrate. I'll go with option number two. Come down and party one more time with some of Buffalo's favorite locals TMMC (Tracy Morrow and Magi Chippie), the Mordaunt Sisters, and the Afterbirth Tycoon. Check out the track below by the way. It was recorded by the Afterbirth Tycoon at, where else? The Vault. Music kicks off at 8:00pm.

Upon listening to Sam Goodwill you get the sense that it's music that is best heard live, in a large room, with a largely participating crowd. And oh hey, what do you know, he's playing at The Vault tonight, showering the arthouse with soulful indie-rock tunes. Music whose warmth have led critics to praise as "something truly unique" (City Beat). Since his debut in 2009, Goodwill has released three impressive albums, all of which possess a fervent vitality: the evolution of a style which is expressively percussive and topped with raw vocals. Joining him will be some of Buffalo's most exciting groups up to date - Wooden Waves and The Afterbirth Tycoon. The event starts at 8PM and $5 will get you through the door.  

Shit. So I was pretty bummed out when I heard that Plates was calling it quits. I've seen them numerous times over the years and always thought they had a unique approach to music; punk, post-punk, hardcore, whatever you want to call it, Plates was a different beast altogether. Part Wire, Part Black Flag, Part Negative Approach (watch the way frontman Teo handles a stage and you'll understand why I say that), their aggressive, uneasy sound was always captivating and I always felt they were one of the best bands milling around Buffalo. Tonight they call it a day.

And apparently so do Beardage(?!?!). Shit again.

Tracy Morrow and Magi Chippie and the Afterbirth Tycoon will be opening this four band bill, at the Vault ($5, 7pm). Come out, dance a bit, and pay your respects. I expect things to get a bit weird.

Spiral Scratch never really fails to disappoint - this time around, they're bringing the delightfully Archers of Loaf-y Witchfeet.  Think driving basslines, gritty vocals, and a pop-sensibility that definitely exists even if you can't quite put your finger on it.  The Afterbirth Tycoon and The Word Girls will be opening up the show for what promises to be a fun Saturday night at Spiral Scratch headquarters.

The show is at Spiral Scratch and it starts at 6:00pm.  This one is all ages, kids!
