  • Lake Street Dive to Complete Extensive Tour Beginning This Summer

    Acclaimed pop/soul group Lake Street Dive has announced they will be touring throughout North America starting this June. The Good Together Tour will see four stops across NY – Saratoga Springs, Lafayette, NYC, and Buffalo, over the course of the tour, in that order.

    Lake Street Dive tour

    The tour will kick off on June 14 in Asbury Park, NJ. The last show of the tour will be on October 11 in Atlanta, Georgia. Saratoga Jazz Festival, Beak and Skiff Apple Orchards, The Outer Harbor, and most notably, Madison Square Garden will be where Lake Street Dive winds up in the Empire State.

    The band makes music of a multitude of genres. Soul, pop, country, indie, folk and more can be heard in various works by the group. What’s common in all of it is the talent and musicianship that Lake Street Dive possesses. The grooves, licks, and vibes of this music are wonderful both recorded and live. Definitely not a tour to miss out on.

    “We’re going on our biggest tour yet!!! It’s gonna be a big ol’ party all around the United States and Canada and EVERYONE is invited! Looking for a place where you can get together with friends and strangers and dance the night away? Help is on the way! We cannot wait to set sail on this epic musical adventure. See you soon!”

  • Khruangbin Announce Tour, Coming to Buffalo, Saratoga Springs, and Queens

    Alt trio Khruangbin has announced they are embarking on a major North American tour with support from Hermano Gutiérrez, John Carroll Kirby, Peter Cat Recording Co., Men I Trust, and Arooj Aftab. The A LA SALA tour features a date at SPAC on May 26, Buffalo at Rockin’ At The Knox on May 28, and two dates at Forest Hills Stadium on Sept. 20 and 21.

    Khruangbin tour

    Khruangbin was formed in 2009 with Laura Lee on bass, Mark Speer on guitar, and Donald Johnson on drums. They take their influence from 1960s Thai funk with their name translating to “Engine Fly” in Thai. The group has toured across the world, with praise from the NY Times, Billboard, and more. The trio recently announced their fourth studio album A LA SALA, their first LP in four years out on April 5. From the get-go, their journey has been its own, ignoring pop expectations and relying on internal aspirations and visions. The building blocks for A LA SALA’s 12 songs were pieces found in Khruangbin’s creative past, parts of the band not lost, but not yet tapped into.

    Over the last two years, Khruangbin has sold out shows at New York City’s Radio City Music Hall, Los Angeles’ Greek Theatre and London’s Alexandra Palace, released five live LPs showcasing their stage prowess – featuring guests such as Toro y Moi, Men I Trust and Nubya Garcia, collaborated with Malian guitarist Vieux Farka Touré honoring his late father, Ali Farka Touré, with the album Ali, and released their second collaborative EP with Leon Bridges, the sultry, chart-topping Texas Moon.

    The Ecuadorian-Swiss sibling duo Hermanos Gutiérrez will be supporting Khruangbin on a run of shows in April. Known for their psychedelic, world-building guitar music, they just released their newest single  “Blood Milk Moon”, a spacious and spectral tune that was hailed by WNYC as “night music that is somehow not dark” and named to UPROXX’s Best New Indie list. The single represents the group’s first new music since 2022’s El Bueno Y El Malo, their acclaimed and mythic debut for Dan Auerbach’s Easy Eye Sound.

    The Khru Club artist presale for the North American tour starts on Tuesday, January 30 at 10 am local time, Spotify Fans’ first pre-sale is on January 31 @ 10 am local time, local/venue presale on Thursday, February 1 @ 10 am local time and regular on sale Friday, February 2 @ 10 am local time.

  • Che’ Noir Releases New EP, The Color Chocolate Volume 1

    Buffalo native Che’ Noir embodies her city’s grit and their cumulative ethos of hard-work with consistent releases over the past five years. Nonetheless, having released Noir Or Never in early 2023, the gritty MC returns with a short EP before the release of another album, Lotus Child.

    Che' Noir releases new 4-track EP The Color Chocolate Volume 1

    The Color Chocolate Volume 1 features appearances from Evidence, Your Old Droog, Ransom, and ICECOLDBISHOP and is the first taste of what will be Che Noir’s biggest and busiest year yet. Moreover, the “Quiet Moves” rapper gets to expand on her brand and artistic vision. The colorful and poetic rapper has leaned into her nubian features with incredibly artistic cover art and album themes. Meanwhile, her subject matter often reflects her surroundings in a world and industry that isn’t ready-made for her. On The Color Chocolate Volume 1 Che’ Noir uses her empowering voice to float over several soul samples as she provides insightful narration to the streets.

    “I finished my Lotus Child album, and was impatiently waiting for a few features to come back, so I decided to start working on a new project. My work ethic can be a gift and a curse for me” Che mused. 

    “I am in constant competition with myself and I work very hard, so while I waited, I locked in and recorded for a month straight and picked the best four to put on The Color Chocolate Volume 1 EP.  “I’m excited for the world to fully know my art, and who I am.  The Color Chocolate Volume 1 EP is just the beginning.” 

  • Benny The Butcher Releases Anticipated New Album, “Everybody Can’t Go”

    Benny The Butcher releases long-awaited Def Jam studio album, Everybody Can’t Go. Since claiming on X that he would have the best hip hop album on Def Jam since DMX’s debut, Benny has released timely singles in anticipation of the new project. First came the Lil Wayne assisted “Big Dog,” which offered a glimpse into Benny’s renewed vigor and flow.

    Promotional cover for Benny's single "BRON." Benny The Butcher Everybody Can't Go

    Moreover, The Black Soprano Family head honcho followed up with “One Foot In” featuring Stove God Cooks, reminding listeners that he hadn’t gone away from his roots. Lastly, Benny released “BRON,” as a final single where he muscles his way into the spotlight with his emphatic delivery.

    Everybody Can’t Go: What to Expect

    Overall, Benny has delivered 12 tracks produced entirely by Hit-Boy and Alchemist, with a mix of trunk thumpers and soul searching samples as Benny showcases the newfound duality in his music. However, the Buffalo native remains determined not to sell himself out as a result of his Def Jam deal. For instance, as he expands his songwriting and beat selection, the Grammy-nominated street general has made sure to maintain his musical identity. Rather than go for a catchy radio single, Everybody Can’t Go sees Benny challenge himself by trying different cadences, flows and rapping on beats that don’t fit into his gritty, east coast persona.

    Furthermore, Benny’s promotional tactics and music video’s have went up another level, surely the benefactor of working on a major label budget. Additionally, Everybody Can’t Go features some of the biggest names in hip hop. Produced entirely by Hit-Boy and Alchemist, the project sees appearances from Lil Wayne, Snoop Dogg and Jadakiss. In like manner, fans are treated to the Griselda linkup between Benny, Conway the Machine and Westside Gunn. Like Benny and Snoop rap on “Back Again,” Everybody Can’t Go signifies that the authentic gangster/street rappers are back to making a mark on the music industry.

    The “Johnny P’s Caddy” rapper has put together an honest project that despite the commonplace rapper braggadocio is an ode to self-belief, perseverance and hard-work.

  • A Sold Out Town Ballroom Hosts Fit For A King, Avoid, Counterparts and The Devil Wears Prada

    The Town Ballroom in Buffalo was set ablaze with raw energy and pulsating rhythms on January 23, as four powerhouse bands – Avoid, Counterparts, The Devil Wears Prada, and Fit For A King – took to the stage for a sold-out show on a rainy Tuesday night. Fans from across the city gathered in anticipation of a night that promised to be nothing short of epic, and they were not disappointed.

    Fit For a King

    Kicking off the evening with a relentless onslaught of hardcore energy, Avoid, got to work getting the crowd but the first thing that stood out before the music got underwear was the singer repping a local city hero, #17, Josh Allen from the Buffalo Bills with his Jersey.  

    Avoid

    Going up next with a relentless onslaught of hardcore energy, Counterparts wasted no time in setting the tone for the night. Hailing from Ontario, Canada, the band delivered a blistering set that had the crowd moshing and screaming along to every word. With their signature blend of melodic hooks and ferocious breakdowns, Counterparts proved why they are considered one of the most exciting acts in the hardcore scene today.

    Next up was metalcore stalwarts The Devil Wears Prada, who took the stage by storm with their electrifying stage presence and infectious energy. Drawing from their extensive catalog of hits spanning over a decade, the band treated fans to a set filled with fan favorites and new material alike. From the haunting melodies of “Sacrifice” to the crushing heaviness of “Danger: Wildman,” The Devil Wears Prada delivered a performance that left the crowd in awe.

    The Devil Wears Prada

    Closing out the night at Town Ballroom were metalcore juggernauts Fit For A King, who wasted no time in unleashing a sonic assault that left the audience reeling. With their bone-crushing riffs and anthemic choruses, the band commanded the stage with authority, inciting mass sing-alongs and frenzied circle pits throughout their set. Tracks “Tower of Pain” and “When Everything Means Nothing” hit with visceral intensity, showcasing the band’s undeniable skill and musicianship.

    But beyond just the music, what truly made the night special was the palpable sense of camaraderie between the bands and their fans. From the shared shouts of the famous Buffalo chant “Let’s go Buffalo!” to the sweaty embraces in the pit, it was clear that this was more than just a concert – it was a community coming together to celebrate the power of music.

  • The Thing Announces North American Tour Stopping in Ridgewood and Buffalo

    The Thing will kick off their North American Tour with a stop at TV Eye, The Ballroom on February 2, and close out the tour back in New York State at Buffalo Iron Works on April 13.

    The band’s upcoming tour will also be supporting Mo Lowda & The Humble and The Bright Light Social Hour.

    The Thing is a four-piece band from New York City, that originated when Michael Carter, Jack Bradley, and Zane Acord bonded over a shared love for rock & roll in high school. Over the years, they honed their craft self-recording and writing songs influenced by 60s pioneers such as The Kinks, Grand Funk Railroad, and artists of the Nuggets compilation. As they progressed in skill and knowledge, the band started to envision a career inspired by the likes of Brian Jonestown Massacre, King Gizzard, and The Black Keys.

    The band then started playing shows and generating a buzz around New York City in the winter of 2022. Shortly after, the band began touring up and down the East Coast. Their energetic live performances quickly earned the grassroots attention of honest music lovers. 

    In April 2023, the band released their debut record Here’s The Thing which was a compilation of nine songs written throughout the early years of the band. With the album out in the wild and the addition of Lucas Ebeling on the kit, The Thing is relentlessly touring, recording new music, and breaching the modern world of rock & roll as they work toward their second album The Thing Is set to be released on Feb. 2.

    Also kicking off on Feb. 2, The Thing will be back on the road as their North American tour kicks off with a hometown show in Ridgewood at one of the band’s favorite venues, TV EYE, and later at  Buffalo Iron Works on April 13.  

    The tour will kick off on Feb. 2 and tickets can be purchased here.

  • Benny The Butcher Drops Single & Video for ‘Bron’

    Benny The Butcher continues to ramp things up for his debut Def Jam release. Following the success of the Stove God Cooks assisted “One Foot In” and “Big Dog” featuring Lil Wayne, Benny goes iso in the basketball-themed single and video aptly titled “Bron.”

    Benny the Butcher cover art for single "Bron."
    Benny The Butcher

    The grainy, flickering visuals finds Benny in a Hapeville, GA school gymnasium along with local basketball players working on their game. Moreover, as the track’s soulful keyboard loop wraps around the orchestral sounding beat, Benny muscles his way into the spotlight with his emphatic delivery, letting off his customary warning shot, “The Butcher coming!” 

    In essence, the music video conveys that the BSF head-honcho’s claim for hip hop supremacy is a result of him outworking his adversaries. After all, the Buffalo native claimed on X (formerly known as twitter) that he would have the best Def Jam release since DMX’s debut-album. While a strong take, he stands as one of the few street rappers breaking into the mainstream. Ultimately landing a gold single with the J. Cole assisted “Johnny P’s Caddy.”

    On “Bron,” Benny leans into his confident, charismatic and clever cadence while maintaining his role as a street general. He affirms, “In my city, I’m King Kong,” and cleverly confides this the songs hook, “I’m Bron. After my chip I told my folks back home so long. I moved my family and my bricks somewhere it’s warm.”

    Everybody Can’t Go is set for release on January 26.
