  • Aqueous Announce 2014 Fall Tour and Album Release Party

    AQ-PRESSPICBuffalo’s Aqueous just announced their 2014 Fall tour schedule and, even with losing long-time drummer Nick Sonricker, the band refuses to take their foot off of the proverbial pedal. Locked and loaded with the newest member, Ryan Nogle, the band made a solid showing at The Peach Music Festival this past weekend with a sizeable crowd that latched on to the band’s infectious sound. With summer still not exactly over, the band will head to moe.down next weekend for a prime slot and two sets on Sunday night opposite of moe..

    Getting back to the announcement, the band will embark on a heavy rotation throughout the Northeast on tour this Fall, touching down in New York, Virginia, and Pennsylvania among other states. The band will travel as far south though as North Carolina and as far west as Indiana, ultimately wrapping up at Nectar’s in Vermont. Along the way, Aqueous will be joined by their friends in The Mantras, The McLovin’s, and Pigeons Playing Ping Pong. Knowing that the band has a great relationship with each, it wouldn’t be a surprise if we saw some fun guest sit-ins.

    If the tour itself doesn’t have you excited, the band will be debuting their newest album on October 25th in their hometown of Buffalo at Iron Works and will be joined by The Mantras. With their last album being almost two years old, this has been long-overdue and overly anticipated by fans.

    Check out the dates below and make sure to mark one down on your calendar as the new lineup has the band full of energy and ready to bring it to your hometown.

  • Queen and Lambert On Tour of a Lifetime

    Queen embarked on their summer tour last night when they took the stage at Chicago’s United Center. This is the group’s first tour in eight years, and the first serial performance planned with Adam Lambert.

    The flamboyant frontman of American Idol fame paired up with the iconic rock band last September for iHeart Radio. The popularity of that performance set the wheels into motion for something larger, and by the following March, a tour was announced.

    The Once In A Lifetime Tour skirts our area this summer, with stops in Toronto, Montreal, New York City, Philadelphia, Atlantic City, East Rutherford, N.J. and Uncasville, C.T..

    Brian May and Roger Taylor (66 and 64, respectively) continue to rock crowds of fans who cross over several generations. Lambert, 32, steps in place of the late Freddie Mercury, who died in 1991.

    Queen started in 1970 and grew into fame in the era of glam rock, which also ushered in the likes of Ziggy Stardust (David Bowie). Today, Mercury is revered as one of the best performers in the history of rock, with his penchant for showmanship.

    Lambert, too, has developed a reputation for bringing a level of showmanship to his own shows.  His charisma and talent has seemed to translate well so far.  Though there may be few Mercury fans who will hesitate to embrace Lambert, there should be little question that he is the best in this generation to step in for the job.  Judging from the performance below, he owns it.
