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 […]
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 […]
