04/21/2005 Chimaira, Stemm, Trivium, The Killing (Buffalo, NY @ The Icon)
Thursday, April 21st, 2005What a show. Chimaira announced the dates for some warm-up shows before their big summer run on Sounds of the Underground back in early March, and I salivated over this show for almost a month and a half. It was totally worth it. The Killing were up first, and they were okay. Didn’t tickle my […]
03/03/2005 Soulfly, God Forbid, Death By Stereo, Stemm (Buffalo, NY @ The Icon)
Thursday, March 3rd, 2005Twas a night for the rock. I got into the place just as Stemm was starting, and these guys have come a long way since the last time I saw them, interestingly enough opening for Soulfly in Rochester back in 2002. They only played a handful of songs, but they rocked hard, and sounded quite […]
02/23/2005 (hed)pe, Indexcase, Three Minutes of Hate (Buffalo, NY @ Showplace Theater)
Wednesday, February 23rd, 2005I left straight from work, and rolled in at about 7:30, strolled right in the door. Took a spot by the bar, and got ready for the first band. Three Minutes of Hate is a local metal band, and they weren’t half-bad. The singer had a decent scream, and the guitar was okay. It’s just […]
02/20/2005 Shinedown, Theory of a Deadman, No Address (Syracuse, NY @ Club Tundra)
Sunday, February 20th, 2005Only the 2nd time I’ve gotten to see a show on my birthday, I drove down to Syracuse for this one. Tundra is a pretty small place, and the layout isn’t the greatest I’ve ever seen. The room has a fairly low celing, and then the “pit” in front is 3 steps lower than the […]
01/21/2005 Sister Hazel, Graham Colton Band, Drew Copeland (Johnson City, NY @ Magic City Music Hall)
Friday, January 21st, 2005Another Sister Hazel roadtrip for Becca, Tiff and myself. Granted, this was only 2 1/2 hours, but still! The music hall is a very nice place to see a show, the stage setup is quite wide, there’s plenty of room to stand, and then plenty of tables around the perimeter for those of the sitting […]
11/07/2004 Nonpoint, A Day Without Rain, Without Jade (Rochester, NY @ Steel Music Hall)
Sunday, November 7th, 2004A rare Sunday night show just across the river, with two Rochester bands for support. Without Jade opened things up, and while I’ll admit that their mix sucked, I don’t think much would have helped them. Just not interesting at all. We couldn’t hear the singer, the bass was overpowering, and it probably was just […]
10/30/2004 Toby Lightman, Eric Hutchinson (Geneseo, NY @ Wadsworth Auditorium)
Saturday, October 30th, 2004We’d seen Toby Lightman twice in two days open up for Gavin Degraw back in August, and now we got to see her headline her own show. But kicking things off was a single kid and his acoustic guitar, Eric Hutchinson. Eric was quite entertaining, running through a bunch of his own originals, plus a […]
10/19/2004 The Tragically Hip, Sam Roberts (Rochester, NY @ Auditorium Theatre)
Tuesday, October 19th, 2004A tuesday night at the Auditorium Theatre, a beautiful place to see a show, as always. I got there just as Sam Roberts was starting, and he was definately entertaining as an opener, but I still can’t get into him. Not sure what it is, I liked him well enough in Syracuse also, but not […]
08/20/2004 Gavin DeGraw, Toby Lightman, Jennifer Marie (Rochester, NY @ Water Street Music Hall)
Friday, August 20th, 2004We weren’t sure how much of a crowd Gavin was going to draw this time around, seeing as the show wasn’t free. We kinda underestimated, because there were a TON of teenage girls in line. This meant more screaming for my poor ears. The first opener, Jennifer Marie, supposedly is from the Rochester area, and […]
08/19/2004 Gavin DeGraw, Toby Lightman (Buffalo, NY @ Thursday In The Square)
Thursday, August 19th, 2004Tiff and I headed down the thruway to check out one of her favorite artists, Mr. DeGraw. However, before his set, we had a pleasant surprise of an opener by the name of Toby Lightman. At first glance, we thought we were in for a Lillith Fair type thing, as Toby is a female with […]
