07/26/2008 Edgefest 2008: Godsmack, Sevendust, Alter Bridge, Tantric, Evans Blue (Darien, NY @ Darien Lake Performing Arts Center)
Saturday, July 26th, 2008[Double Eagle Standard and Silvertide were on the bill as well, but we didn’t watch them.] Adam and I literally got there within a minute of each other, and set up our little tailgate out of my trunk. Which really just consisted of a couple of subs and a couple more beers. We got there […]
07/25/2008 3 Doors Down, Staind, Hinder, Jet Black Stare (Darien, NY @ Darien Lake Performing Arts Center)
Friday, July 25th, 2008The middle round of my three-show tripleheader was a more relaxed affair than the first, but still had it’s moments. I arrived into the pavilion right as Jet Black Stare was finishing up. I had listened to a couple of songs on their MySpace page, and the live set was similar: generic and bland. They […]
07/24/2008 Seether, Sick Puppies, Safetysuit (Buffalo, NY @ Town Ballroom)
Thursday, July 24th, 2008Adam and I pre-gamed for this one by hitting up Thursday in the Square to see More Than Me, because we knew the openers weren’t that great. As it turns out, we rolled into the Ballroom just as Safetysuit was finishing up. It struck me that they were a little out of place on the […]
07/22/2008 Eric Hutchinson, Maria Sebastian (Buffalo, NY @ The Tralf)
Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008[Missy Higgins was the headliner, but we didn’t stay.] Tiff and I shot down the Thruway to take in our favorite new up-and-coming singer-songwriter. We got there about a half-hour after the doors had opened, and the main level of the Tralf was just about full, so we opted for the still-empty balcony. Considering we’ve […]
07/19/2008 Krockathon 13: Seether, Shinedown, Sick Puppies, 12 Stones, Luna Halo, Black Stone Cherry, Safetysuit (Weedsport, NY @ Cayuga County Fairgrounds)
Saturday, July 19th, 2008[Three Days Grace actually headlined this, but I wasn’t about to stick around for them.] The infamous KRockathon. Year after year, this brings out the best and brightest that Syracuse and Utica have to offer, and I don’t mean the bands. Much like any festival or carnival, you wonder what hole a lot of these […]
06/26/2008 Mike Doughty, Scott Celani, Kevin McCarthy (Buffalo, NY @ Thursday In The Square)
Thursday, June 26th, 2008Matt and I journeyed down the Thruway on this fine evening, meeting Adam at the Square. Martin Sexton was supposed to the headliner, but due to what was termed a family emergency, he cancelled. Therefore, the man we wanted to see, Mike Doughty, went from opener to headliner! Honestly, we didn’t watch the other two […]
06/01/2008 Ashes Divide (Rochester, NY @ Water Street Music Hall)
Wednesday, June 4th, 2008I raced over to Water Street after my roller hockey game, and completely missed Inner Party System, the opener. Sara said they were pretty decent. Anyway, I got there as they were doing the final prep for Ashes Divide’s set, and I really only had to wait about 10 minutes. The band came out, and […]
03/13/2008 Mike Doughty, The Panderers (Rochester, NY @ The German House)
Thursday, March 13th, 2008Matt and I ventured to the The German House, which is a venue I’d never been to. It’s as nice as the Harro East ballroom, but about half the size. Real nice place, and a perfect venue for someone like Doughty. The first act on, that we missed most of, didn’t have a name, and […]
03/07/2008 The Dreaming, Shelflyfe (Rochester, NY @ The Club At Water Street)
Friday, March 7th, 2008This one started later than usual (10pm doors for a 10:30 start), and I walked in just as Shelflyfe was getting ready to go on. They’re a local band, and they weren’t too bad, a four piece rock band that uses a sampler, and uses it well. The songs were kinda catchy, but the singer […]
02/16/2008 Will Hoge, Dawn Landes (Buffalo, NY @ The Tralf)
Saturday, February 16th, 2008(Jason Isbell was also on the bill, but we didn’t stay for him.) Tiffany was giddy with anticipation for this one, since this show was at the Tralf, we’d be a lot closer than we were in Ithaca, and with what we assumed (correctly) would be a more respectful crowd. We got inside and found […]
