07/01/2000 RAINN Benefit: Hollowpoint, Stemm, Flush, Mile5 (Buffalo, NY @ Runwayz)
Saturday, July 1st, 2000Another full-fledged local show, and as the title implies, this was a show to benefit RAINN: The Rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network, so definitely a good cause. Sara Slean was the “headliner”, but played earlier than I got there, so I missed her. Not exactly my type of artist, but she did the piano […]
06/17/2000 Homegrown: Hollowpoint, Stemm, Sleaze, Cradle, 3 Below, Figure (Hartland, NY @ Freedom Park)
Saturday, June 17th, 2000A local show to be sure, but one that was actually ticketed and was a decently organized event. I’d seen 3 Below a bunch at Showplace, Stemm once or twice, and I was pretty good acquaintances with the guys in Hollowpoint, so I hung out with them most of the day. This is also where […]
06/13/2000 3 Doors Down, Stir, Mile (Rochester, NY @ Water Street Music Hall)
Tuesday, June 13th, 2000Brought the whole NT crew on this one (I’m assuming this was Sara, Adrienne, Danielle), don’t remember who else went… The openers were rather forgettable; Mile had a bunch of songs about “that one bitch I dated awhile ago”, Stir was decent (but I don’t remember a damn thing about them). To put this show […]
06/08/2000 Thursday In The Square: Moist, Shelia Divine (Buffalo, NY @ Lafeytte Square)
Thursday, June 8th, 2000Thursday in the Square was always a good time. Another round with the Shelia Divine that we had to wait through as openers. It was worth the wait, however, as Moist played a great set! I know they opened with Tangerine, and played a lot of what I wanted to hear, including Ophelia and Machine […]
06/01/2000 Staind, Apartment 26, Liquid Gang (Buffalo, NY @ Sideshow Music Hall)
Thursday, June 1st, 2000Mary and I had a decision to make on this night, as The Watchmen were playing at Thursday in the Square at the same time. We chose this show, and it led to the one and only time we got kicked out of a show. (Read on for the reason.) We’d never even heard of […]
05/06/2000 Train, Gas Giants (Rochester, NY @ RIT Clark Gym)
Saturday, May 6th, 2000I don’t recall a whole lot about this show, other than I almost didn’t go, then Chip gave me a free ticket. The Gas Giants were decent, I remember being in the crowd and saying to Adam “Geez, they sound a lot like the Gin Blossoms!”, only to find out they had two of the […]
04/28/2000 Nine Inch Nails, A Perfect Circle (Toronto, ONT @ Maple Leaf Gardens)
Friday, April 28th, 2000Along with what felt like our entire high school, I got interested in NIN around the time The Downward Spiral blew up, and became a big fan going forward. With The Fragile being released the previous September, we were all super-hyped for this show. (Fun side note: to get these tickets, we dragged ourselves out […]
04/26/2000 Our Lady Peace, Buzz Poets (Erie, PA @ Gannon University)
Wednesday, April 26th, 2000A little bit of a road trip for this one down to Erie, PA. After almost getting a speeding ticket on the way down (got pulled over, got a ticket for “obstructed vision” due to my high school tassel hanging from the rear view mirror, but no speeding ticket!), Mary and I pulled into Gannon […]
03/24/2000 Korn, Staind, Mindless Self Indulgence (Buffalo, NY @ Marine Midland Arena)
Friday, March 24th, 2000We had a pretty big group that headed down for this show, as Staind were starting to get big, and Korn was at the height of their powers on Issues. They called it the Sick and Twisted Tour, and I remember walking in half-way through Mindless Self Indulgence’s set, and being glad it wasn’t the […]
03/17/2000 Snapcase, Boysetsfire, Turmoil, Bughouse (Rochester, NY @ Water Street Music Hall)
Friday, March 17th, 2000Not that I was ever the biggest hardcore fan, but I knew enough to go see Snapcase when they came down the Thruway. It was only $10 to get in, and it’s not like we could legally drink in the bars yet, so it being St. Patrick’s Day didn’t matter much (we celebrated that later […]
