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 […]
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 […]
