07/20/2001 Boy Hits Car, Candiria, Crashpalace (Buffalo, NY @ Showplace Theater)
Friday, July 20th, 2001[Clutch was the headliner, but we were too tired and didn’t stay. Bummer.] So we dashed across town from the Cold Edge Sessions at the Backstage Pub over to Showplace. No chicanery with this one, we actually had tickets! We (Mary much more so than I) became Boy Hits Car fans after seeing them open […]
07/12/2001 Toadies, Diffuser, Johnny Nobody (Buffalo, NY @ Showplace Theater)
Thursday, July 12th, 2001We showed up in the middle of Johnny Nobody’s set, and I’m kinda dissappointed, because they were really good! The lead singer had quite a voice, and power to match. They had quite a few fans as well, cuz the crowd was holllering for them through the entire set. Then Diffuser came out and made […]
07/07/2001 The Watchmen, Trouser (North Tonawanda, NY @ Gateway Park)
Saturday, July 7th, 2001We actually got a good show in NT, and it was free! The politicos were all worried that the concert series at Gateway Park was going to attract “undesireables”. There was none of that, only good music. We met the Watchmen guys and got autographs as soon as we got there, as we approached the […]
07/02/2001 Friendship Festival: The Tea Party (Fort Erie, ONT @ Mather Arch Park)
Monday, July 2nd, 2001All that driving… Everyone met at my house at 8pm, then we had to get Dave Z. back in Cheektowaga, so logically we’d take the Peace Bridge, right? Not with that traffic! It was actually worth our while to drive all the way back to the Falls and take the Rainbow Bridge over, then take […]
07/01/2001 Edgefest: Tool, The Tea Party, Big Wreck, Sevendust, Static in Stereo, Flybanger, Staggered Crossing, Bif Naked, Project Wyze (Barrie, ONT @ Molson Park)
Sunday, July 1st, 2001By virtue of overlapping sets on multiple stages, also at Edgefest but I didn’t see: Finger Eleven, 3 Doors Down, Gob, Billy Talent, Mudmen (among others). Rolled up to Barrie with Sara, Adrienne, Danielle, and Dave (plus some others in a separate car (per Sara) that I don’t recall!) for the annual Canada Day blowout. […]
06/28/2001 3 Doors Down, Seven Mary Three, Oleander (Rochester, NY @ High Falls)
Thursday, June 28th, 2001We got there a little late and missed half of Oleander’s set. I’m assuming it was the same set from the Artvoice Festival the prior Sunday, we managed to catch Unwind, Benign, Why I’m Here, and Are You There. Then Seven Mary Three came out, and put on a great show. They opened with First […]
06/24/2001 Artvoice Festival: Econoline Crush, Oleander (Buffalo, NY @ Chippewa St. & Delaware Rd.)
Sunday, June 24th, 2001This was a freebie put on by the Buffalo independent newspaper Artvoice, and among the 30 some-odd bands and 3 stages, EC and Oleander played the main stage. Oleander went on at 4, we got there early enough to check the place out, and since the backstage area was pretty much wide open (the stage […]
06/16/2001 Depeche Mode, Poe (Toronto, ONT @ Molson Ampitheatre)
Saturday, June 16th, 2001Hung out with Carolyn all day, she graciously let us stay over at her place so we didnt have to drive back. We had lawn seats, so we were pretty far back. Poe started right at 8, and she sounded really good, much better than PJ Harvey. Angry Johnny was the only song that I […]
05/31/2001 U2, PJ Harvey (Buffalo, NY @ HSBC Arena)
Thursday, May 31st, 2001Amanda’s first real show! There was a heart-shaped walkway that jutted out from the stage, and we were about 4 people deep from the barrier at the point of the heart. PJ Harvey played a lackluster 45 minute set, I thought she was rather boring, a lot of others seemed to as well. Then U2 […]
05/08/2001 Econoline Crush, Velour, Agent Me (Buffalo, NY @ Showplace Theater)
Tuesday, May 8th, 20013rd day in a row for the EC boys! Agent Me was boring, Velour…. uuhhh, yeah. EC came out to a crowd that couldn’t have topped 150, a very dissappointing turnout. Everyone that was there knew what they came for though, and they guys didnt let us down. Adding Down By The Riverside and Flamethrower […]
