Tonight: Bong Wish

Lovers of the tripped out, fantastical British folk music that fired up Led Zeppelin and Donovan simply have to get to Deep Space 8 tonight to check out Bong Wish, just in from the magical woods of ancient Massachusetts to play us some songs from their delightful eponymous debut EP. Rounding out your magical evening will be a stacked bill featuring local art blues rockers be locust or alone, true soldiers of love and good vibrations Welks Mice, and the live debut of lo-fi psych rocker The Midnight Vein (aka John Toohill), who’ll also be celebrating the release of his eponymous debut tonight, as if that wasn’t enough for you already. It’s a pay what you will situation, with a minimum donation of $5 to cover Bong Wish’s gas money, so be cool. Doors open at 7:30pm and music at 8:30pm.

Tonight: Ricky Hamilton

Deep Space 8 are the hosts for tonight’s rager when Cleveland’s own Ricky Hamilton, of Ricky Hell & The Voidboys  stops by our fair city. Playing a cut up of garage punk and synth with a tad of pop thrown in for good measure. Hamilton weaves together a tidal wave of melodies and dissonance to create what is both complimentary and discordant. Which is to say, it’s fun. Sharing tonight’s bill are Dildon’t, Tap Water, Vapor Trash, and The Pushers. It’s Deep Space 8 so bring along $5 for the door and a little more for fun. Life By The Thorns by Ricky Hamilton

Tonight: What Moon Things

Head over to the east side tonight for a gig for the real weirdos. Fresh off of the release of their new LP, Someone Who Isn’t Me, avant-pop act, What Moon Things, are heading from Brooklyn to Buffalo for their first show in the city. Accompanying them on their week and a half long tour are a freak folk act, Pecas, from New Paltz. Also on the bill are local post rock act, Tomoreaux, as well as Circular Logic. Deep Space Eight is a DIY spot so you might have to do some investigating to find the location. Music is set to kick off at 8:30pm with a cover of just $5. Someone Who Isn’t Me by What Moon Things

Tonight: Dog Party

Sacramento-based punk rock act Dog Party will be making a stop in Buffalo this evening at newly established east-side DIY basement, Deep Space 8. Composed of sisters Lucy and Gwendolyn, the duo is currently touring the U.S.A with fellow Sacramentans Sneeze Attack. Combining a grungy sound with poppy vocals, Dog Party’s sound is a mix between Bleached, Colleen Green, and The Ronettes. The band’s catchy ditties ultimately got them noticed by Asian Man Records (Alkaline Trio, Lemuria, Andrew Jackson Jihad), who released two of the band’s albums. Also on the bill are local punkers Trinkit. Doors are super early at 6pm so pack a dinner. Bring $5 for touring bands
