[PUNK] Western New York’s take on GWAR, or something like that, is Green Jelly. The over-the-top live band formed in Kenmore in the early 1980s, opening for classic punk bands like The Ramones and the New York Dolls; though their style has always been even whackier than your typical punk band. They’ve had hits on MTV and their songs have been placed in video games and movies. Though the line up has shifted substantially over the years, with founding member Bill Manspeaker remaining the only constant, this has opened the door for some interesting collaborations including with Danny Carey and Maynard James Keenan of Tool, who were once considered part of Green Jelly’s roster. The band still regularly returns to play in Western New York, and their next show is scheduled for this Friday, July 7 at Mohawk Place with special guests Super Killer Robots and support from Lazy Ass Destroyer, Diceros, Inherent Vice, and Green Schwinn. Hosted by “Buffalo’s Freakshow,” Arlowe Price.
