11/15/2014 Mike Doughty (Rochester, NY @ The Club at Water Street)
Monday, November 17th, 2014It’s become a tradition at this point, Mike Doughty comes to Rochester; me and Matt have a “man-date” to go see the show! Touring in support of his latest Stellar Motel album, Mike and constant cohort Andrew “Scrap” Livingston came to Water Street for another Question Jar show. After a little pre-gaming at the Genesee […]
11/11/2014 Saliva, Future Leaders of the World, Bad Seed Rising, The Everyday Losers, Aggressive Betty (Rochester, NY @ Montage Music Hall)
Monday, November 17th, 2014This turned out to be a long night. There were a ton of locals, last of which was the first band I saw when I arrived, Aggressive Betty. I’ve seen them a couple times at Montage, pretty standard metal, decent stuff. The Everyday Losers were a young four-piece hard rock band that didn’t sound too […]
10/10/2014 Theory of a Deadman, Fozzy (Rochester, NY @ Water Street Music Hall)
Saturday, October 11th, 2014[3 Pill Morning also on the bill, missed them.] This was the same night as the Amerks home opener, so I wandered out of the game around the middle of the 3rd period and shot over to Water Street. Ended up missing all but 3 of Fozzy’s songs, but what I heard was pretty good. […]
10/08/2014 Soulfly, Million Miles From Broadway, Before The Foundation (Rochester, NY @ Water Street Music Hall)
Saturday, October 11th, 2014It had been 9 years since the last time I saw Soulfly, and 12 years almost to the day since the first (and only other) time I’d seen them, at Water Street no less. So I didn’t have any real expectations since it had been so long, and I further wondered about the show since […]
07/27/2014 Nine Inch Nails, Soundgarden (Toronto, ONT @ Molson Ampitheatre)
Saturday, August 9th, 2014I always end up having to go to Toronto to see some of the really big name acts, and these two titans were no different. The last time I saw both bands was actually in TO as well (Soundgarden in 2011, NIN in 2008). Drove up with Sara and crew, and we cut it pretty […]
06/27/2014 Sevendust (Niagara Falls, NY @ Rapids Theatre)
Monday, June 30th, 2014Sevendust show #17! (This puts them in the lead, they were tied with OLP at 16 apiece). The second to last show of the 2nd leg of the Time Travelers & Bonfires acoustic tour. Admittedly, after Southside Double-Wide and being lucky enough to see that show in Rochester, I didn’t think I’d ever see Sevendust […]
06/21/2014 Weezer, DIIV (Rochester, NY @ Main Street Armory)
Wednesday, June 25th, 2014“I get to see Weezer!” – Chino Moreno This was a long time coming, because I was actually supposed to see Weezer 17 years prior (almost to the day!) at Edgefest in Buffalo, but we didn’t get there in time. And then I’d never seen them since. Matt wanted to go, his high-school buddy and […]
06/19/2014 Nonpoint, Crows Cage, Divot (Akron, NY @ Braun’s Concert Cove)
Wednesday, June 25th, 2014First time at Braun’s! A typical bar, but with a super-nice stage setup outside, with a temporary/permanent shell over it. Turned out to be a great place to see a show. Unfortunately the turnout wasn’t all that great; not sure if it was the location that turned people off, or if there just isn’t that […]
05/08/2014 Buckcherry, Fozzy, Adelita’s Way (Rochester, NY @ The Arena at the Main Street Armory)
Friday, May 16th, 2014It was at the “Arena” at the Armory… in the basement! (THERE IS NO BASEMENT AT THE ARMORY!) Long and narrow, reminiscent of the old Icon in Buffalo. Dark and grungy. The perfect place for Buckcherry. Due to my usual being on “Nate Time”, I only got to see 2 Adelita’s Way songs (Sick, Invincible) […]
04/10/2014 Gavin DeGraw, Parachtue, Rozzi Crane (Buffalo, NY @ SUNY Buffalo Center for the Arts)
Thursday, April 10th, 2014Four months later, Tiff finally cashed in on her Christmas present… 2nd row seats! So the first act up was Rozzi Crane. In short, she sounds like Adele, looks like she’s out of the 90’s, and her backing band (read: two dudes with a keyboard and electronic drumkit) sounds like they’re from 1985. Great voice, […]
