Hot 8 Brass Band @ Rec Room
New Orleans-based 8-piece brass band, the Hot 8 Brass Band, will be bringing their Mardi Gras party sound to Chippewa this Friday. Since forming in 1995, the Hot 8 have made a name for themselves reimagining classics and putting their own unique and engaging spin on very familiar songs such as “Sexual Healing,”and “Love Will Tear Us Apart.” The band will be sure to bring their hits and slip in some familiar re-worked covers along wth some of their own original material. If you’re feeling romantic, bring your partner. If you aren’t feeling romantic, bring a co-worker. $29.27.

Lowspot @ Hot Mama’s Canteen
Traveling Cleveland grunge-punk quartet, Lowspot, makes a stop in Black Rock Saturday night. The Ohio band combines a bit of a 90’s-scene delivery on the vocals with some more contemporary power-pop instrumentals.
Joining the bill will be the re-emerging BP and the Oil Spills, angular Fredonia act HitGRL, and Niagara Falls vintage rockers Hywater. Lowspot is touring in support of their December 2024 release Committee of Public Safety so bring something a lil extra for the merch table. Tickets are $10 at the door.
Saturday, February 15th @ 8pm
ILYLIA @ Milkies
Milkies is set to host the EP release of local hyper-pop artist ILYLIA. Self-crowned as “ethically sourced vamp pop,” to an outsider, ILYLIA’s music has a glitchy, scurrying appeal coupled with heavy vocal play, all with 120+ BPMS. Fans of 100 gecs or Grimes should put this on their radar.
Joining the lineup will be DJ s3xPot (Chango4’s DJ alter ego), R&B soul singer teddi valentine, and Rochester horror drum’n bass act Captain Lemo. This is one of those underground showcases that features some of the artists from Western New York’s music scene in the future. Get in early. $10 cover.
