Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats

[INDIE] Nathaniel Rateliff is a mama’s boy, and there’s nothing wrong with that. In the latest music video from his band, Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats, the 39-year-old soul singer pays tribute to his mother with his song “Hey Mama.” The video is a sentimental ode to working class moms, featuring Rateliff’s and bassist Joseph Pope’s actual mothers. Naturally the video came just in time for Mother’s Day, earlier this month, and comes from the band’s latest record, Tearing at the Seams, which was released in March.

Flogging Molly

[PUNK] Celtic skater-punks Flogging Molly, from Los Angeles, California, return to Buffalo for a concert at the Town Ballroom on Sunday, June 3. The seven-piece Irish music-inspired punk band comes packing fiddles, tin whistles, accordions, mandolins, banjos, and of course plenty of searing guitars and driving drums. Their latest, 2017’s Life is Good—their first record in six years—is a joyful, political, and heartfelt punk effort that blends seamlessly into the band’s live set.

Pride Week Continues

[GAY PRIDE] Pride Week in Buffalo continues this week with several events, starting Thursday, May 31 with Out For Business—a special edition of the monthly LGBTQ networking event—which will take place on the rooftop of the Curtiss Hotel at 5pm. On Saturday, June 2, the annual Dyke+ March will commence down Elmwood Avenue, beginning at 1pm at the Unitarian Universalist Church at the corner of West Ferry and Elmwood, and ending at Bidwell Park.

Zach Deputy

[FUNK] In from Savannah, Georgia, one-man-band, Zach Deputy, returns to the Tralf Music Hall for a show on Thursday, May 31. The soulful multi-instrumentalist is known for his one-man live shows during which he uses complex live loops to create sunny, funky jams. His latest album, Wash it in the Water is a combination of Southern funk and Island-y soul, so expect it to get heated inside the Tralf this Thursday.

Bone Thugs n Harmony

[HIP HOP] Layzie Bone, Flesh n Bone, Wish Bone, Krayzie Bone, and BizzyBone—why, whoever could they be but Bone Thugs n Harmony. The band, from Cleveland Ohio, hasn’t missed a beat, consistently releasing music since their 1993 debut, Faces of Death, which was released under the name B.O.N.E. Enterprise. But it was their 1995 Ruthless Records release E. 1999 Eternal, produced by Eazy-E, which put them on the hip hop map.

Tech N9ne

[RAP] Horrorcore rapper Tech N9ne is as prolific as horrorcore rappers get. His debut album 1999, The Calm Before the Storm, came after several years spent in several various rap groups, but since then his releases have come like a monsoon.

But that’s just the beginning of this artist’s summer festival plans.
