The approaching weekend is bringing an onslaught of local and national acts that can only be described as going on a music bender. Rochester is faced with a variety of acts that span many genres, and we intend on somehow cramming them all in to one weekend.
Thursday- At Montage Music Hall, Lyrics to Life. Christian punks who identify with MXPX. Sound is pretty soft (even by Christ-rock standards), but they can rule the synth when needed.
Thrash and Burn Tour. A hot little grouping of bands that are bound to leave you hopefully more thrashed than burned... Keep an eye out for DevilDriver with their speed rhythm section and vocal sounds in the family of Static-X.
Friday- The Sandwich Crackers (with Forty Lashes & Whitecliff Drive) at DubLand Underground. Synth-ska. Need we say more?
Museums farewell concert at Waterstreet. So sad that they have to go, but look out for former members of Museums showing up, as well as some CDs of newer jams. Also, Plattsburgh's own Hello Control will be pop-rocking out.
East End Fest 3 has plenty of acts to check out. We recommend the Insider/Metromix stage, and From These Eyes, who are rock hotties.
Seen It All. Who knew good surf ska could come out of Buffalo? Guitars that sound like Homegrown are bound to rock DubLand after East End.
Saturday- The Hoodies CD release party, also featuring bands such as These Green Eyes and Surprise Surprise. After starting this weekend with hardcore bands, this pop, rock, punk alternative will be music to our ears.
Later, The Isotopes hit the stage at Bug Jar with their shredded version of surf rock. Fun, dirty, nostalgic sound. The Beach Boys on acid.
