Tonight: Son of the Sun, The Tins, and Poindexter


Tonight, the folks in charge of the Larkin Square concert series will be harnessing the power of alternative indie rock through champion title holders Son of the Sun, The Tins, and Poindexter. This combination promises cause 'good feels,' and possibly inspire attendees to get sloshed and dance like no one is looking.

Son of the Sun is just as likely to fit in here as they are at a Blue Oyster Cult concert. Which has happened. The band crafts detailed walls of sound with many layers, but keeps a simple 3 chord writing style which allows them elements of both punk, and psychedelia. The sounds they produce are all too fitting for the end of a summer concert series, and I'm not just saying that because of their name.

It's not easy to completely categorize The Tins' music, but you can be sure they know how to write a damn good song. Their range flies from the anxiety ridden yet danceable "Please Be Kind" to the almost tropical party-ballad "Vicki," to the nostalgia soaked "Midnight Crowd." These guys have new songs floating about in the ether too, so be sure to catch their set and preview what is to come.

Representing the heavier, punk end of the music spectrum is Poindexter. Warm melodies soar over punchy guitars in Poindexter's alternative punk sounds. With a fast tempo and heavy sound, be sure to hold on tight to your drink during this performance.

The show starts at 5 in Larkin Square, and it's FREE!




The Tins debut new single, website


buffaBLOG favs the Tins, the Buffalo based, SUNY Binghamton born indie rock trio, have been quiet busy over the last year.  Their successful Kickstarter campaign allowed them to make the album(yet to be titled) with the producer (Joe Blaney) they set out to make.  And in addition to a snazzy new website, with updated tour dates that include a handful of SXSW shows, the band is gearing up for the release of said album later this month. In the mean time, you can currently stream the album's first single "Vicki", which surfaced around the time of our 1 Year Birthday Party last year under the working name of "Just a Virgin", on their website.
