buffaBLOG Sessions: Makeout Tactics
We are so excited to unveil our latest iteration of buffaBLOG sessions to the public. Previously, the blog had done different live sessions series, ranging from simple cell phone videos, to live-to-tape recordings, to DIY pop-ups with a temporary set-up. This batch of sessions will be the first time we’ve partnered with a studio, Mammoth Recording Studio, based out of the First Ward. The videographer from the series is the very talented Devin Chavanne, whose work spans across Buffalo and beyond. Likely, if you pay attention to anything coming out of Buffalo’s start-up industry, you’ve seen his handiwork.
This past fall, we gathered 22 people to execute the session which went off seemingly flawlessly and it excites us to continue the project and continue to showcase up-and-coming musicians from Western New York that need to be on your radar.
Our third session features Elmwood Village indie pop collective act Makeout Tactics *, who have been a staple on many of the up-and-coming indie bills at Nietzsche’s, Milkies, and Goodbar showcases through the past few years. The session below features two songs, with the first song as “311” which is a track about absentee landlords and living a carefree lifestyle in your twenties. The second song “Token Transit” is about Buffalo’s public transit system and it’s clockwork reliability.
Check out the session below via YouTube embed and please like/subscribe to our channel. The more views we receive on these, the more we can have these sessions and broaden the foot print of all the cool sounds emerging from Buffalo/Western New York. We’ll see you next Wednesday with our final session with Skulking Ghost.
