07/22/2011 The Tea Party, The Etchings, Son of the Son (Lockport, NY @ Ulrich City Centre)
Saturday, July 23rd, 2011Ah, the Lockport Canal Concert Series, which saw the return of Our Lady Peace to the area (for me anyway) in 2009, and this year brought back another all-time Canadian favorite, The Tea Party. I came straight from work, so I arrived just as The Etchings were starting. I confess I really wasn’t paying too […]
07/02/2011 Soundgarden, Coheed and Cambria (Toronto, ONT @ Molson Ampitheatre)
Friday, July 8th, 2011This show was announced back in April, and the tickets through the fan club went on sale not soon after. I suffered through a two-hour website outage, but persevered and got my pair of tickets for the GA pit down front. Karl and Kelley made a weekend out of this with Tiff and I, so […]
05/20/2011 Cake (Lewiston, NY @ Artpark)
Monday, May 30th, 2011A fun Friday night show at Artpark, and there probably isn’t a more perfect venue in which to see Cake. Especially when you’re close, like 5th row close. Tiff and I had aisle seats, just left of center, so we had a little more room. Actually, every one else that we personally knew at the […]
05/07/2011 Stone Temple Pilots, Rose Hill Drive (Rochester, NY @ Main Street Armory)
Monday, May 9th, 2011It had been just about 10 years since I’d seen STP (Family Values 2001 in Buffalo), and when this show was announced, I think we all were of the impression that as long as the band was touring, we ought to go see them again before either Weiland falls off the wagon or they start […]
05/04/2011 Psychostick, Blue Felix, Pollock, Tastes Like Burning, Zazz Blammyatazz (Buffalo, NY @ Broadway Joe’s)
Friday, May 6th, 2011I started off this Buffalo jaunt correctly by grabbing dinner at Jim’s Steak-Out across the street! Got into Joe’s just as “Zazz Blammyatazz” started. A three-piece that played some fun covers (as I think they’re all in “real” bands as well) and just had fun up there for a half-hour. Tastes Like Burning was up […]
04/29/2011 Edwin McCain (Niagara Falls, NY @ Seneca Niagara Casino)
Friday, May 6th, 2011Our second time seeing Edwin McCain in just over a month found Tiff and I at the Bear’s Den inside Seneca Niagara Casino. I got these tickets as a delayed birthday present for Tiff, if for no other reason than when one of her favorite artists comes around twice in a short span, we go! […]
03/24/2011 Edwin McCain, Tommy Connors (Syracuse, NY @ Westcott Theater)
Wednesday, April 20th, 2011Tiffany and I shot down the 90 to take in one of her favorite artists, whom we hadn’t seen in quite awhile. Seven years to the day, to be exact! Needless to say, Tiff was pretty excited, and I was too. Our opener was a local Syracuse musician named Tommy Connors, whom at various times […]
02/17/2011 The Damned Things, His Name Was Yesterday (Buffalo, NY @ Mohawk Place)
Thursday, February 17th, 2011[Vanity Strikes was the first band on, but I didn’t get there in time to catch them.] I rolled into Mohawk just as the His Name Was Yesterday crew was setting up. I’ve seen these guys a lot over the last couple years, so it was cool to see them opening for a national act. […]
01/19/2011 Music As A Weapon V: Disturbed, Korn, Sevendust, In This Moment (Rochester, NY @ Main Street Armory)
Friday, January 28th, 2011Another Armory show, another unecessarily long line to get into the venue. I arrived shortly after 6pm and waited in line for approximately 50 minutes. I got inside just as In This Moment was starting. I saw this band back in November of 2008 opening for Five Finger Death Punch, and wasn’t terribly impressed back […]
08/28/2010 More Than Me, Hey Monea, Free Henry, Strike The Sky (Buffalo, NY @ The Tralf)
Monday, September 6th, 2010We made the trek up the 90 for a fun night of local music, but not before a stop at Cabaret for dinner to celebrate Tracey’s birthday! We wandered over to the Tralf, got everyone in, found a table off to the left of the stage behind the rail, and set up shop. Soon after […]
