Wanyama

[FUNK] The sounds of funk, hip-hop and reggae have all been mashed together to form this electrifying band known as Wanyama. The band, hailing from Cleveland, consists of five musicians that blend all these types of music into one invigorating sound that you won’t forget. Their entertaining hits use a number of different instruments and lyrical sounds that’ll blow the roof off the building when they come to Nietzsche’s on Saturday, February 13.

Pulse featuring PUMPDABEAT

[ELECTRONIC/DANCE] PUMPDABEAT will be hosting a dance party at the Waiting Room in Buffalo this Saturday night. The DJ, who hails from Philadelphia, is going to bring a night of awesome vogue, ballroom and dance songs—as long as PUMPDABEAT is in the building, you’re never going to stop dancing. Oh yeah, and it’s free!

Cool Dad Presents: Rave Matthews Band

[ELECTRONIC/DANCE] Hot off of their appearance at the electronic dance music festival, Holy Ship, Buffalo duo Eyes Everywhere return to Buffalo along with Chad Lock, Alex Morrison, and Bangin’ Chains for their special events, Cool Dad Presents Rave Matthews Band. The crew will be spinning techno and house all night long in the back room of Allen Street Hardware Cafe at this Valentine’s Day eve party, Saturday, February 13.

Why Not?

[JAZZ] Why Not? deliver what is essentially a crash course in jazz music. The band, Tim Clarke on trumpet, Alex McArthur on vocals, composer and pianist Kevin Doyle, bassist Brian DeJesus, and drummer Dave Phillips, will perform pieces by Ornette Coleman, Thelonious Monk, Charles Mingus along with some original music on Thursday, February 11 at Pausa Art House.

Sicada

[METAL] For fans of Lamb of God, Death, and Revocation, Staten Island death metal band Sicada comes to Mohawk Place on Monday, February 15. The band is still young, formed in 2014, but their old school death metal style sounds well honed, and their flourishes of speed metal are tight. They’ll be joined by New Jersey’s Eye of the Destroyer, and Ohio thrashers, Gomorrah. 

Wolf

[ROCK] On her 2014 EP Gold & Dirt,  Wolf—the brainchild of Buffalo musician, Chelsea O’Donnell—proved that all she needs to make a striking impact is her acoustic guitar and raw vocals. Wolf’s latest single, “Spark,” takes a slight turn as O’Donnell’s commanding contralto plays over a backdrop of rock instrumentals from guitarist Brian Siklinski, bassist TJ Luckman, and drummer Madison Rich.

TAUK with After Funk

[PROG ROCK] We need to talk about TAUK. Like a black hole lined with flavorful, textured sounds, their music sucks you in and swallows you whole. Armed with strong, versatile musicianship, the Long Island natives dish out heavy instrumental jams that propel their unique style.

Commander Cody and His Modern Day Airmen

[ROCK] For anyone familiar with the Bay Area bands that provided the late 1960’s countercultural soundtrack, Commander Cody, a.k.a. George Frayne, is an institution. Lending a jump blues stamp and a bit of boogie-woogie to some already twangy rock and roll keeps the Commander’s gigs mighty lively even as he approaches his 72nd birthday. Who knows how many more chances you’ll get to see this, Sunday, February 14 at Sportsmen’s Tavern.

Particle

[JAM] Masterminded by Moog synth whiz Steve Molitz, Particle got a promising start in the early 2000s as a key player in the livetronica scene, straddling the lines between improv-fueled jam bands and the then-emerging EDM sound. The genre brought a greater level of credibility to electronica, introducing some new ideas to jam band fans who had generally frowned upon the synthetic nature of keyboard-generated music. Now returning after a long hiatus, Molitz and company are touring again and readying a collection of new Particle music for release later this year.
