Lights at the Town Ballroom (03/06/18)

March 9, 2018

Earlier this week, Lights played her first show in Buffalo in over five years.  The packed house at the Town Ballroom didn’t seem to mind the wait though, singing along to all of her songs, both old and new. Her live show not only looked great due to her intense lighting rig, but her tight electro pop sound sounded absolutely massive as well.  Hopefully it wont be so long before the next time her and her band roll through town.  Australia’s Chase Atlantic opened up the show, serving as a solid warm up for Lights.

Tonight: Lights

March 6, 2018

In the early 2010’s, Lights was no stranger to Buffalo, playing venues such as Mohawk Place, Soundlab, Club Infinity, and an opening slot a free Canalside show. As time has went on, her electropop sound became more refined and mature, and her die hard fan base stuck with her.  Along with some cuts from her older releases, you should expect to hear a bunch of tracks off of her last release, Skin & Earth, released last year. This will be her first time upgrading to the Ballroom, and with support from DBG and Chase Atlantic, it’s sure to be a memorable night. Doors open for the show tonight at 7pm.  Tickets are available at the door for $22, with $1 from every ticket sale going towards PLUS1, an organization working towards bringing accessible renewable energy technology to undeveloped communities.
