Basement at Rec Room (05/17/19)

Brendan O'Connor — Tue, 21 May 2019 16:20:20 +0000

This past Friday, UK indie/pop punk outfit, Basement, made their return to Buffalo. Following their appearance a little over a year ago opening for The Front Bottoms at Riverworks, they now have a new album under their belt, titled Beside Myself. Though the group’s sound has slightly drifted from their original roots, it seemed to have work out for the better, as their fan base seems more passionate than ever. Buffalo showed up for the show, the crowd seemed to love every minute of their set, filling out the Rec Room. Their set list included a handful of new tracks, as well as a bunch of old ragers. Both the old and new kept the crowd moving throughout the entire set, and they treated Buffalo to a great show.

The gig was kicked off with a tight set from 90’s inspired grunge/emo four piece Teenage Wrist, as well as a exceptional, immensely loud set from modern shoegaze act Nothing. Check out some photos from the show below, shot by blog photographer, Brendan O’Connor.

Tonight, England’s Basement invades Buffalo’s own Rec Room on Chippewa for potentially one of the best rock shows you’ll see all year. The group has done a good job of keeping us patiently waiting for another show since their visit to see us last spring at Mohawk Place. Since then, they’ve released Beside Myself in October of 2018, which is full of ear catching hits including “Be Here Now.”

Joining them for the evening are Philadelphia rockers Nothing, as well as L.A. alternative/grunge revivalists; Teenage Wrist, who have just released the enticing 3-song EP entitled Counting Flies. Doors at 7pm with a $20 advanced ticket.

The Front Bottoms at Buffalo RiverWorks (10/22/17)

Brendan O'Connor — Wed, 25 Oct 2017 16:56:05 +0000

This past Sunday, The Front Bottoms returned to Buffalo, this time playing an insane set at Buffalo RiverWorks. The New Jersey based indie / pop punk act played Buffalo last year at the Town Ballroom, and since then, dropped a new LP on Fueled By Ramen, titled Going Grey. While the record had only been out for three or four days by the time of the show, the band’s dedicated fans somehow seemed to know every word to every song. They played an insane 21 song set featuring songs from all four of their major label records, and neither the crowd nor the band took a break during the set, making it an unforgettable night. Check out some photos from their crazy set below, along with shots of both openers Bad Bad Hats and Basement, shot by blog photographer, Brendan O’Connor.

You might want to get down to the Studio at Waiting room tonight. UK pop punk / alt /emo act Basement is making their triumphant return to our fine city tonight, fresh off the release of a new record, titled Promise Everything. On tour with Basement is New York indie act, Eskimeaux, and the recently reunited Ovlov. If you caught Eskimeaux at Sugar City last year, you should know that Eskimeaux alone is worth the price of a ticket. This is a gig you’re not going to want to miss.

Doors open for the show at 6:30pm, with a showtime of 7:30pm. Tickets are $19 at the door, which is a small price to pay for this stacked bill.
