[TRIBUTE] The year is 1994. Nelson Mandela is elected president of South Africa, former professional football player Al Cowlings picks the wrong day to go on a join ride with O.J., and Nirvana plays what will become their final show. Some great albums came out in that year too, including Green Day’s Dookie, Alice In Chains’ Jar of Flies, Weezer’s first self-titled album, and Pearl Jam’s Vitalogy. Ah, what a year! This was also the year, that, 20 years later, would influence a bunch of guys from Buffalo to start a freaking sick cover band. Soul Patch basically owe their existence to the year 1994 and they can’t deny it. Though the band, led by Keith Buckley—better known as frontman of Buffalo hardcore rock band Every Time I Die and advice columnist for The Public—covers your favorites from the entire span of that sacred decade that was the 1990s, 1994 was clearly the pinnacle. On Friday, January 8, Soul Patch make their triumphant return to Buffalo for an intimate show in Allentown at Duke’s Bohemian Grove Bar.
