03/27/2010 Matthew Good, Automatic Loveletter (Buffalo, NY @ Town Ballroom)
Thursday, April 1st, 2010I chose this show over seeing the second night of OLP at the Riviera Theatre (the Spiritual Machines show) because A) SM isn’t one of my favorite OLP albums, and B) I haven’t seen Matt Good with a full band since March of 2001. (Through whatever timing and scheduling misfortunes, I just haven’t been able […]
03/26/2010 Our Lady Peace (North Tonawanda, NY @ Riviera Theatre)
Monday, March 29th, 2010If you go back and read my review of the Lockport OLP show from over the summer, I sounded kind of down on them, but mentioned that A) the album versions of the new songs might grow on me, and B) that show was a “little bit” of nostalgia. Well, the new songs certainly did […]
02/23/2010 Cold, Nonpoint, Day Of Fire, Edisun, Augustine (Syracuse, NY @ Westcott Theater)
Wednesday, February 24th, 2010I rolled in from work, and wandered into the line-less venue as Augustine was finishing up. I only saw about half of the last song, so I have no idea how they were. Edisun was next up, and they’re a pretty straight-up rock band from New Jersey (Edison, NJ, surprised? Not me!) the NYC/CT area. […]
02/11/2010 Five Finger Death Punch, Shadows Fall, God Forbid (Buffalo, NY @ Town Ballroom)
Friday, February 12th, 2010[2 Cents was also on the bill, but I didn’t catch them.] Phill and I made our way down the 90 to the Ballroom, and walked as the stage was just getting set for God Forbid. We hung back on the top level to take in their half-hour set, which was probably the best place […]
02/01/2010 Shinedown, Puddle of Mudd, Skillet (Rochester, NY @ Main Street Armory)
Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010[Like A Storm was also on the bill, but I didn’t get there in time to catch them.] This show was largely a “game-time” decision for me, as I was on the fence about going. Shinedown had played this same venue 11 months prior, and I wasn’t sure I’d see anything different. With Tiffany going […]
12/27/2009 Every Time I Die, Rhinoceros (Buffalo, NY @ Mohawk Place)
Monday, December 28th, 2009The 5th Annual Every Time I Die Xmas Show. What a fun night! Met Adam at his place, we watched the Sabres beat the Blues at Thirsty Buffalo before heading over to Mohawk to catch this later-start 9pm show. We pretty much hung in the back all night and chilled with Art, had a couple […]
12/16/2009 Strike The Sky, More Than Me (Rochester, NY @ The Club at Water Street)
Friday, December 18th, 2009Local music Wednesday at the club side at Water Street featured two bands we’ve seen more than a handful of times. Strike The Sky “headlined” because they’re the Rochester band, but both them and More Than Me played for about an hour. Always nice to see the MTM boys play fully plugged-in, and per usual, […]
12/14/2009 Hatebreed, Cannibal Corpse, Unearth (Buffalo, NY @ Town Ballroom)
Tuesday, December 15th, 2009[Hate Eternal and Born Of Osiris were both also on the bill, but I didn’t see them.] The second leg of Hatebreed’s “Decimation of the Nation Tour” rolled into Buffalo. I was fortunate enough to see a show on the first leg in Rochester (with Chimaira), and that show was going to be almost impossible […]
11/23/2009 All That Remains, The Devil Wears Prada, Story of the Year (Rochester, NY @ Water Street Music Hall)
Friday, November 27th, 2009[Haste The Day was first on the bill, but I didn’t get there in time to see them.] The kick-off show of the Napalm and Noise Tour found itself in Rochester. This is a co-headlining run between All That Remains and The Devil Wears Prada, where the bands take turns closing the show on alternating […]
11/10/2009 Metallica, Lamb Of God, Volbeat (Buffalo, NY @ HSBC Arena)
Thursday, November 12th, 2009The Day That Never Comes finally came. The tickets for this show went on sale in March, we all managed to get the day off of work, and we were more than ready. Pete, Jerry, and Jerry’s brother Joe met at my place, we loaded the cooler, and took off westward. We stopped in NT […]
