05/13/2009 Big Bad Voodoo Daddy (Rochester, NY @ Lilac Festival Stage)
Thursday, May 14th, 2009Since I know virtually nothing about them, this is going to be a review at a 3rd grade reading level. I saw Big Bad Voodoo Daddy at the Lilac Festival. It was fun. There were a lot of people there. I sat on the ground on a blanket and talked with my friends. The band […]
04/27/2009 Gavin Rossdale, Endless Hallway (Rochester, NY @ Water Street Music Hall)
Tuesday, April 28th, 2009This show had kinda been on my radar for awhile, but I thought $25 was too much to spend, plus it was on a Monday night. Then I get an email offer for 2-for-1 tickets, but couldn’t find anyone else that wanted to go. Then I find out Tiff had a dinner function at RIT […]
04/23/2009 Static-X, Burn Halo, The Flood (Buffalo, NY @ Town Ballroom)
Friday, April 24th, 2009[Saliva was originally part of this bill, but due to a Josey Scott medical situation, dropped off the tour] Adam and I rolled in just as The Flood were getting started. We could have waited longer. They were just a bland alt-metal type band, like a poor-man’s Tool. They kind of reminded me of Atomship, […]
04/20/2009 Theory Of A Deadman, Black Stone Cherry (Rochester, NY @ Water Street Music Hall)
Thursday, April 23rd, 2009I usually never get this lucky. The bill originally was Hinder, Theory, BSC and the Veer Union at the RIT Fieldhouse. Then about two weeks prior to the show, they split the bill, with Hinder and Veer Union playing at the Town Ballroom in Buffalo, and Theory and BSC here at Water Street. So not […]
04/08/2009 G. Love & Special Sauce, The Movement (Rochester, NY @ Water Street Music Hall)
Thursday, April 9th, 2009I’ve had various people tell me over the years that I really needed to check out G. Love & Special Sauce, either on albums or live. They always seemed to be one of those bands that I said, “Cool, I will”, and then never did for whatever reason. So after enough of that, coupled with […]
04/03/2009 Black Label Society, Sevendust, Dope, The Infinite Staircase (Rochester, NY @ The Main Street Armory)
Saturday, April 4th, 2009Adam and I arrived within five minutes of each other, and much like Shinedown, there really was no line to speak of, and the place wasn’t that crowded at first. We milled around during the first band, The Infinite Staircase. A four-piece from Staten Island, they sounded pretty decent, nothing earth-shattering. Apparently their drummer is […]
03/07/2009 Shinedown, Saliva, Halestorm (Rochester, NY @ Main Street Armory)
Monday, March 9th, 2009Back at the Armory for another show, and this one was much easier getting in, and there were far less people there. I was surprised they even had it at the Armory, I figured it would have been at someplace like Harro East, but no matter. Karl and Kelley arrived not soon after I did, […]
02/21/2009 Disturbed, Skindred, Caustic (Rochester, NY @ Main Street Armory)
Monday, February 23rd, 2009To preface this, the doors were supposed to open at 7pm, with the show at 8. Tiff and I rolled up on the Armory at about 7:15, and the line was already down the street and around the corner, and the doors didn’t look open yet. Traffic was crazy, because as luck would have it, […]
10/16/2008 Trivium, All That Remains, 36 Crazyfists, The Human Abstract (Buffalo, NY @ Town Ballroom)
Thursday, October 16th, 2008I was really really excited for this show, as it’s been ages since I’d seen ATR, just slightly less of a time for Trivium, and then not having a festival crowd for 36CF was going to be great. As I was able to work the day at Fairgrounds, I didn’t have to make the back-and-forth […]
10/15/2008 Five Finger Death Punch, In This Moment, Bury Your Dead (Buffalo, NY @ Town Ballroom)
Wednesday, October 15th, 2008[Another Black Day was the first band on the bill, but we missed them.] Adam and I got there just as Bury Your Dead was starting. It was typical hardcore fare, but with the off-rhythm stuff that I don’t really care for. They were fine, but I’m not running out to get any of their […]
