Is this a great music city or what?
I was talking to my friend Al-x in Chicago and he says that Buffalo’s choice of music on this fine Friday evening kills Chi tonight.
He’s right. You can’t go wrong with the choices:
Mark Olson at 9th Ward - The former Jayhawk has a full band and is supporting The Salvation Blues his deeply personal and confessional song cycle of desert-swept country, folk and rock. Lauded local lad Roger Bryan support
Dead Meadow at Soundlab - DC’s heavy, heavy psych blues overlords get riffageous. Bonus points to them for being the soundtrack of choice for Detective Jimmy McNulty’s kids on the final season of HBO’s The Wire.
Besnyo Worry CD release at Nietzsches’ - You can read my rave on this record from one of Buffalo’s finest bands HERE and tonight see if they can pull of its breathtaking cold and lush sonic vistas live! Supporting Besnyo are The Lochs, A Hotel Nourishing and Alex Berkley.
TECHNOIR Goth Night at Mohawk Place - That is not a misprint! The boys with eyeliner and girls in plastic invade the venerable rock and roll room to dance into the wee hours to the sounds of Bauhaus, Alien Sex Fiend and KMFDM. How long until the Mohawk has to put up mirrors all over a la the old Continental upstairs?For those in need of a refresher on how to prepare for this event:

Hey Danny
Check out The Brew tonight at Nietzche’s. Love to get your take on a much-discussed band out of NE.
Thanks
Bill
