Must See Shows (11/12/25-11/18/25)

November 12, 2025

Thursday, November 13th @ 8pm The Arcadian Wild @ 9th Ward   Nashville indie folk act The Arcadian Wild makes a mid-week stop on their national tour at our favorite basement venue, the 9th Ward. Known for their immersions of indie, chamber pop, and bluegrass, the band is still buzzing from their critically acclaimed 2023 album, Welcome. If you are a fan of Chris Thile / Nickel Creek, The Crane Wives or Tophouse (both bands coming soon to Buffalo), then you will be pleased as punch for this one. $25 cover.   Happy Golden Days by The Arcadian Wild Saturday, November 15th @ 8pm Lower Pony (Release Show) @ Milkies   Lower Pony has been grinding through Buffalo’s underground slacker scene for a bit now – with some very familiar faces, especially if you’ve has a grasp of the local scene over the past fifteen+ years. The project formed in 2019[...]

Frame and Mantle

August 4, 2015

We have a new project for you, and it’s called buffaBLOG Sessions. The aim of this project is to take up-and-coming artists, whether they’re Buffalo born and raised or just passing through the area, and feature them in intimate locations around the city. Each bi-weekly session will feature one of these bands performing two songs, with a more-than-casual interview cut into the middle. Our first band is Frame and Mantle. They’re out of Erie, PA and recorded with us right before their show last month at Mohawk Place, a show that kicked off their first tour (10 stops all over the Northeast). We recorded it upstairs in a warehouse on Rhode Island Street (special thanks to Joe Cardina SR. for the location). Check out tunes from Frame and Mantle here and watch their buffaBLOG Sessions clip below.

Tonight kicks off a mini-tour for our ambient indie-rock friends from Erie, Frame and Mantle. In the first of nine tour dates that take the band from Buffalo to as far south as Wilmington, North Carolina, Frame and Mantle will be setting up camp at Mohawk Place with Elemantra and Sea of Teeth. Frame and Mantle have an EP out right now, which is available for free download over at its bandcamp. While Our Fields Lie Fallow has 5 songs, and shifts back and forth from loud, intense busts to American Football-esque ambient rock. It’s the kind of stuff you’d love to see in an intimate location, such as a basement show. Or Mohawk Place. So, as the day grows longer and this rain clears up, go download the EP, memorize all the lyrics, and sing right back at the band tonight at Mohawk. It’s $5 at the door and well[...]
