Must See Shows (3/12/25-3/18/25)
Wednesday, March 12th
Haley Blais @ 9th Ward
Vancouver’s Haley Blais will make her first stop in Buffalo with tour mates Wormy. The band had originally planned to stop here in late September, however, the concert gods felt otherwise and Blais had to reschedule. Now here we are, with the same lineup and a new opportunity to check out the singer/songwriter’s cheeky sound.
Signed to the record label Arts & Crafts (Andy Shauf, Broken Social Scene, Feist, & MANY MORE), Blais’ sound is lush with clever lyrics that navigate life in your twenties in the 2020s. Touring in support of their latest album Wisecrack, fans of Caroline Rose, Soccer Mommy, or Snail Mail would be pleased with Blais’ sound.
Starting things off right is Wormy, the music moniker for Brooklyn singer/songwriter Noah Rauchwerk. He may look familiar as his other gig is the touring drummer for Samia. It will be $18 at the door.

Bryan Dubay @ Milkies
Buffalo musician Bryan Dubay takes his act to the Elmwood Strip this Thursday evening. Dubay has been another one of the artists to emerge post-COVID, making waves with his lush full band sound that dabbles in post-punk, psych-pop, and indie rock. Combining the three creates an accessible sound that delivers the jams and could be an easy Buffalo export to the blogosphere. Dubay will be playing in support of his new single “Silence” which was released late last week.
Also on the bill is Rattlesnake Jake, the solo project of Jake Marciniak, the frequent collaborator of Adelaide and former Market Research singer. Rounding out the bill will be indie folk artist, Addisyn Logan *, who we’ve been buzzing about since her live set last month with buffaBLOG sessions. $10 cover gets you in. Save room for the mozz sticks.
Saturday, March 15th @ 8pm
Romcom Victims @ Milkies
Milkies is set to host another bill full of up-and-comers this Saturday. If you are looking for a quick overview of what the indie scene in Buffalo is going to be like over the next few years, throw down $12 and pay attention as this curated lineup of up-and-comers.
The bill features indie-pop act, Makeout Tactics * (who also had a great session with us released last month), indie rock outfit Romcom Victims, and alt/post-emo act KRIGGY.
Silver Proof is also set to step on stage for the first time as a unit. The band has been the brainchild of former Hundred Plus Club bassist / Mega Nostalgia co-collaborator Rafi Bloomberg. 8pm gates.
