It's not even Friday yet and I've already got Saturday by FOB in my head. Maybe it's because the other side of this weekend kicks off my first vacation in 3 years, but this catchy tune is heralding Saturday fast as can be. Turn Pat and Pete up to 11, because this Saturday welcomes two awesome shows, of two completely different genres:
Straight-edge hardcore Buffalo punks, Snapcase, are reuniting for one show only at the Town Ballroom. Following their 2004 disbanding and a brief 3-show reunion in 2007, Snapcase's absence is making upstate New York crave some delicious, shredding 90s hardcore. We've always been huge fans of how rythmically demanding Snapcase's music is, focusing on their guitar leads. Not to mention how powerful, often uplifting and compelling their lyrics can be. Snapcase is playing a short tour in Europe and one show only stateside: Buffalo. Be sure to catch them now, as you never know when they'll be back around.
For a shorter drive to a show that's more family friendly than hardcore, Roc-local indie band, Walri, is bringing their psychedelic rock to the Genesee Valley Sports Complex. What's more, they're playing the halftime show for the Roc City Roller Derby's first home bout of the 2010 season. Walri's jams tend to be more ecclectic, drawing influces from punk, bluegrass, bossa nova and rock, making them more accessible to a wider audience. Doors at 6, bout starts at 7, Walri plays halfway through.
