White Reaper @ Rec Room

Louisville, Kentucky garage-rock rascals White Reaper make their way down the Chip Strip via the Rec Room. The band is touring in support of their new album Only Slightly Empty, released on September 26th, so it’s still fresh on the shelves. If you’re a fan of PUP, The Dirty Nil, or FIDLAR, then this is your vibe.

White Reaper will be sharing the stage with NYC electro-punk act Lip Critic, Salt Lake City shoegazers Worlds Worst, and recent blog favorite Jerry Big’s World Famous Band (you may remember JBWFB as our Album of the Week earlier in 2025). We were blown away by their high octane sounds and hooks and we are looking forward to their Friday night, end-of-week energy. $27.26 gets you in.

Paul Oakenfold @ Electric City

Legendary UK producer and DJ Paul Oakenfold makes a stop in Buffalo Saturday for rare sharing of the stage with fellow pillar of 90s electronica, The Crystal Method. The three-time Grammy winning London-based DJ has been a “who’s who” of remixers, pumping out notable reworkings from Moby, The Cure, New Order, Michael Jackson, and Britney Spears. Oakenfold has been a mainstay in the pop and electronic worlds since the 80s and will undoubtedly bring the nostalgia to the theatre district. Enjoy Oakenfold’s euphoric building and cinematic soundscapes.

Get there early as The Crystal Method will start the vibes right. The former-duo-turned-solo project was a cultural backbone to the 90s and early 00s electronic scene, with their innovative breakbeat singles “Name of the Game” and “Busy Child.” $49.92 gets you in.

Episodic Memory @ Milkies

It’s a bye week in Buffalo and that brings a rare Sunday opportunity to leave the house guilt-free and experience the arts. Milkies is set to host Episodic Memory, the experimental electronic project from Chris Svobeda, a former Buffalonian turned Austinite. Svobeda was haunting around the Buffalo music scene in the 00s and 10s with his work in Cinnamon Aluminum and KRISTACHUWAN. The newest outlet for his creativity, Episodic Memory, features an abstract audio/visual exhibit that will undoubtedly be commanding and mind-bending.

Joining the lineup will be local support from local experimental electronic musicians Softwheres, Logan Locking, and Auxcab. $10 cover.
