buffaBLOG Sessions: Skulking Ghost
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 fourth and final session features prog rock stoner metal act Skulking Ghost. The band has been making a name for itself playing support roles for many of the indie / shoegaze acts in the scene, however the band is still an undiscovered treasure in Buffalo. You may recognize some of the members of the band, who have been involved in bands such as Johnny & the Man Kids, Elemantra *, Tsunami Tsurpirse, and Pale Hell. In this particular session, the band journeys on a 9 minute + song titled “You Will Need More than Swords.” Buckle up, because you’ll need a seatbelt for this one.
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 hope to do another batch of session in the near future, however there are a lot of backend things that need to be configured in order to make this happen.
Thank you to Milkies for sponsoring the series and helping us share the sounds of Western New York. If you would like to sponsor a future session, shoot us an e-mail.
