Chores @ The Cave

Rochester indie outfit Chores plays Buffalo this Saturday in support of their new cassette, Tender as a Wound. For those who follow the blog closely, you’ll remember Chores as they were our Album of the Week back in December 2024. Grunge-y locals Stress Dolls will share the stage and are the only representative from Buffalo on this one, with Syracuse indie-pop act Paper Rabbit making the 11 exit trip down the 90 for this goodwill exchange. The three bands will be trading off gigs between The Cave, the Bug Jar in Rochester on March 21st, and ending the run with a show at Syracuse’s famed Funk’n Waffles on April 4th. So if you like what you see, you can do this two more times. $10 for this one and it’s a steal.

Sunday, March 9th @ 7pm

Have Mercy @ Rec Room

Maryland reformed pop-punkers Have Mercy come to Chippewa this Sunday evening. The band had been a main figure in the re-emergence of the emo scene in the early 2010s, releasing their debut album via Topshelf Records and quickly gaining a diehard fan base that has stuck around a decade plus later. Starting the night off will be local melodic indie punk act We Were Blank, mid 2000s MTV2 revivalist FLAKE, and Los Angeles post hardcore band In Her Own Words. $32.85 gets you down the hallway.

Man-Eaters @ Duende. @ Silo City

Why not ease your Sunday scaries with an intense punk and hardcore lineup in the Silos? Chicago rock and rollers Man-Eaters headlines Buffalo with support from John Toohill’s science project, Science Man, lively hardcore band Sweet Talker, and metal act Overgrowth. All-in-all this will be a fun one, but make sure you bring your ear plugs, because this show will blow the roof off. $10 or pay what you can, but mostly $10.
