Fun-A-Day

[ART] Come out this Thursday, March 12 for the inaugural show at Sugar City’s new space on Niagara. Fun-A-Day is a large group show consisting of over 30 local artists, who each made a creative project everyday in the month of February. Organized by Curtis Guy, here is a short list of participating artists: Dana Saylor, Mickey Harmon, Ryan Crowley, Suzanne Eberhardt, Alana Kelley, Gerald Mead, Ani Hoover, Emily Churco and Matthew Clinton Sekellick. This is just the tip of the iceberg for this stellar list of creatives.

EOTO

[ELECTRONIC/DANCE] Hailing from Denver, Michael Travis and Jason Hann (members of The String Cheese Incident) conceived of EOTO (End of Time Observatory) in 2006.

Taking Back Sunday

[ROCK] Though Taking Back Sunday has proved their maturity with three great albums since they’ve reunited, we (angst-laden teens of the early 2000s) find it difficult to shake the nostalgia upon hearing their staple dynamic bridges or dual vocal styles.

Mallwalkers

[PUNK] The rudimentary punk at the core of what Mallwalkers get up to sounds like it could’ve easily emerged from the Bowery some 40 years ago: think a scrappy Talking Heads with less art-school pretense, blending its early new-wave and later funk motifs while maintaining plenty of lo-fi appeal.

Yarn

[JAM] Yarn’s central songwriter Blake Christiana might hail from Schenectady, but his six-piece string-band was formed off the streets of Brooklyn.

Hey Mavis

[ROCK] Hey Mavis’s Akron-based Americana stew just got more flavorful with the completion of What I Did—out this spring—which will surely comprise some of the set at Sportsmen’s Tavern this Friday, March 13.  The new collection pushes the trio—which expands into a five-piece for this northeastern excursion—further into genre-defying hybrids while keeping Laura Michele Caner’s supple pipes and dexterous banjo playing front and center.

The Public Presents: The Tins

[INDIE ROCK] In a few days the Tins will get into their white 2005 Ford Freestar minivan and drive approximately 1,600 miles to Austin, Texas—with a couple of videographers in tow—to play their first official SXSW showcase. This’ll happen after they put in a few more hours of studio time at GCR on their next full length record, which they’ve been recording with producer Robby Takac at the helm.
