This October marks the 30th anniversary of 91.3 WBNY's existence as an FM station. The station, also known as "Buffalo's Original Alternative," has been almost completely student-run since it officially swapped over from AM to FM in October of 1982. The highly influential college radio station, which is well-known for its support of Buffalo's local music scene, is perhaps best known for its "Local Show" hosted every Thursday from 7pm - 10pm by buffaBLOG's very own Michael Moretti.
Buffalo State will be hosting a number of events in celebration of WBNY's 30th anniversary, culminating in the "91.3 FM WBNY 30th Anniversary Concert" this Friday, October 5th, at 7:00pm. In the spirit of celebrating local music, the show will feature four Buffalo-based bands - Dotsun Moon, Whiskey Reverb, Intent to Sell, and Dr. OOO. Tickets are $3 for students and $5 for the general public - you can pick them up at the Rockwell Hall Box Office.

Boasting itself as Buffalo's biggest 4/20 party, The Great American Smokeout will take place tomorrow at Broadway Joe's beginning at 4pm in the afternoon. The event will be an all-day affair featuring the talents of many local bands. The most notables of the big lineup are local hip-hop fusion group Type Relevant, and indie funk jamband Whiskey Reverb. Big Basha is the only DJ on the bill, scheduled to close-off the long night. There will be food -and- BBQ (hence the "smokeout" monicker), even the fire spinning troupe Funkafire (likely in the backyard). Still not quite sure why bars throw parties for 4/20; not like you'd be allowed to medicate inside. It's more about meeting up with friends, checking out some local stoner rock, and enjoying some munchies and beers. Check out the sounds of Whiskey Reverb below. The party is in the heights at Broadway Joe's 3051 Main St. Buffalo, NY. 4p-4a $5/21+ $3/18+
