Cut Copy @ Electric City
Australian synth-pop outfit Cut Copy bring their high energy new wave stylings to the Theatre District this Thursday. Since forming in the early 2000s, the band has has achieved vast critical acclaim since their breakout 2008 album, In Ghost Colours. Cut Copy is pure indie sleaze adjacent, with the band’s breakout hits “Lights and Music” and “Heats on Fire” nestling comfortably in any sweaty hipster basement dance party for the following decade. Fans of Duran Duran, Friendly Fires, or Hot Chip would be into this one. Record the Bills game and start it when you get home at 10:55pm. Get there early for an opening set from Ora the Molecule. Tickets are $43.99.

Dolly Sods @ Milkies
Early 2020s Buffalo COVID project Dolly Sods reemerges after a multi-year hiatus with a fresh drummer and relaunched vigor.

Dolly Sods will be playing this Saturday with local weirdo crooner, Ex-Pat, with support from Mogra and Budge-It. If you’re a fan of the shoegaze stylings of TAGABOW, Nothing, or Deafheaven, then put your earplugs in and get down to Milkies Saturday. $10 cover. Oh, and Dolly Sods have a new video, so check that out as well.

The FMs @ Milkies
Milkies is set to host another banger on Saturday with a tight local bill featuring indie scene mainstays Hundred Plus Club, freshly-back-from-a-national-national Orange Dog Club, and buzzing SUNY Fredonia project, Paper Tigers. The lineup also features a set from New York City synth-pop act, The FMs who are in the midst of a regional tour at the moment. The band formed back when high school friends Matte Namer and Frankie Rex officially created the project in 2016. The FMs stock steadily rose into the pandemic which was curtailed by the sudden passing of Rex. Namer has continued the legacy and vision of the act, steadfastly advancing the project’s trajectory and keeping with the theme of queer and transgender motifs in their songs. $10 cover.
