[PSYCHEDELIC] Existing at the intersection of psychedelic rock, blues, and stoner rock, All Them Witches make heady music for heady times.
[DARKWAVE] Cold Wave at the Cat Cave is a semi-regular dance party featuring live music at Mohawk Place. The concentration is on darkwave, typically British or European music made in the 1980s—think Cocteau Twins, The Cure, or Depeche Mode.
[ROCK] “It’s not #Rachmaninoff, it’s #RockLobster!” is the tagline for the upcoming B-52s concert with the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra.
[FUNK] Fans of classic rock will probably recognize the name Karl Denson. The funk and jazz saxophonist is probably most well known for his work with Lenny Kravitz and the Rolling Stones.
[PUNK] Toxic Womb is a self-proclaimed “super punk rock” band from Columbus, Ohio. Their latest EP, Due, is five minutes and 31 seconds of caustic punk music across four tracks.
[ROCK] For me, hearing the name SpeakerFIRE brings back memories of CD-R singles, Purevolme.com, the Showplace Theater, Club Infinity, or maybe the Icon, and that old Afterdark message board—the king’s palace of shitposting for scene kids in Buffalo in the early 2000s.
[POST PUNK] New Berlin make the kind of post-punk that seems to be pretty popular around these parts—although they hail from Texas. Their sound is raw, almost hardly held together, but still energetic, like the homestretch of a bender.
[FUNK] Tiger Chung Lee is not a professional wrestler or a less than professional Street Fighter. Nope, they’re a funk band from Youngstown, New York. And they’re pretty impressive, especially when all 11 of them are up there jamming on an epic groove.
