11/07/2009 The Tragically Hip (Syracuse, NY @ The Landmark Theater)
Thursday, November 12th, 2009I had bought a set of 4 tickets with TK as soon as the show went on sale, and then a week prior to the show I actually won another pair from Live Nation on Twitter, so he got two more friends to take them. The six of us met up at the Exit 44 […]
11/06/2009 Maroon5, Kate Earl (Rochester, NY @ RIT Gordon Fieldhouse)
Saturday, November 7th, 2009I get the same reaction from everyone… “YOU, of all people, going to see Maroon5?” Indeed! I’m always game for well-done pop/rock, and these guys are pretty good at it. I arrived at the venue around 7:15, found Christina and her friend Elizabeth up near the front, and chatted with them while we waited for […]
10/11/2009 Every Time I Die, Bring Me The Horizon, Architects (Rochester, NY @ Water Street Music Hall)
Sunday, October 11th, 2009[Oh, Sleeper was on the bill also but I didn’t catch them.] I wandered in during a set change after getting home from the Bills game, and hit up the merch booth, only to be greeted with the site of an ETID Bills-themed shirt! I promptly scored one of those (from Jordan Buckley himself), and […]
10/05/2009 Five Finger Death Punch, Shadows Fall, Otep (Syracuse, NY @ Westcott Theater)
Tuesday, October 6th, 2009I rolled into Syracuse around 6:30, and after finally finding a parking spot (the street parking in this neighborhood is atrocious), got in line and got into the venue about 5 ’til 7. The Westcott Theater, as the name would imply, was an old movie theater converted for music (ala Showplace). A bit cleaner than […]
10/02/2009 A Thousand Shades Of Cold, Shadows Of The Past (Rochester, NY @ Montage Music Hall)
Friday, October 2nd, 2009I rolled into this one kinda late, and only got to see one of the openers before ATSOC. I’ve seen Shadows of the Past a couple times at Montage with various other bands. They’re a decent local metal band, and they’re getting there. The whole reason for this show, however, was that it was a […]
09/25/2009 Sixpin, The Fated Grey, Five Point, Do Driver (Buffalo, NY @ The Tralf)
Friday, September 25th, 2009I trucked down I-90 to see two of my favorite local bands, as A Thousand Shades of Cold were supposed to be on the bill, but apparently canceled at the last minute. This left the Sixpin guys scrambling for openers, and yet they managed to find three! Do Driver and Five Point didn’t really catch […]
09/12/2009 Tonic (Verona, NY @ Turning Stone Casino Showroom)
Thursday, September 17th, 2009Tiff and I made a mini-weekend out of this show, as Tonic is one of the handful of bands we can both enthusiastically agree on. We made sure to remember the BYOB aspect of Turning Stone’s showroom, and had a good time because of it! I was shocked that Tonic was even touring again, but […]
09/05/2009 Crue Fest 2: Motley Crue, Godsmack, Theory Of A Deadman, Drowning Pool (Darien, NY @ Darien Lake Performing Arts Center)
Friday, September 11th, 2009I carpooled with Scott and Michelle to this one, where we promptly were met by Adam up on the hill for a little pre-gaming. We wandered down to the PAC, where Michelle and Scott promptly turned around and headed back to the car. On the advice of another woman who was turned back at the […]
09/04/2009 Cake (Buffalo, NY @ Town Ballroom)
Saturday, September 5th, 2009We shuffled off to Buffalo with Matt and Lisa to catch “An Evening With Cake” at the Town Ballroom. I’m liking this somewhat-recent trend of bands playing with no openers! We ended up camping out on the left side of the stage on the first raised tier, almost behind one of the tallest kids I’ve […]
08/21/2009 Blink-182, Fall Out Boy, Panic At The Disco, Chester French (Darien, NY @ Darien Lake Performing Arts Center)
Tuesday, August 25th, 2009Had it not been for $10 lawn tickets, I don’t think I would have considered attending this show. But for $10 each, how could we not? Tiff and I rolled in and parked up on the hill again, had our own little tailgate, and wandered down the road to the venue. There was a ridiculous […]
