Tonight: Palberta

February 13, 2017

If you’re looking for something to do this Monday night, Sugar City has you covered.  Brooklyn act, Palberta, will be rolling through Buffalo tonight, with some support from some great local acts.  Palberta is hot off some good press from Rolling Stone, and while I could attempt to explain their bizarre style of music, I think you’re just better off going to the show to see for yourself.
