Opening the show will be a rare performance from Alpha Hopper and shredding punk trio Personal Style. Cover is $8 and doors are at 7:30pm. Zen Quality Seed Crystal by VACATION

Humble Braggers at Nietzsche’s (9/1/18)

September 5, 2018 Zach M Anderson

Synth-pop fan favorites Humble Braggers celebrated the release of their newest EP, Cycle (Admirable Traits Records), with a spectacular musical showcase at Nietzsche’s on September 1st, 2018. Eschewing guitars in favor of lush synth pads, and with a greater emphasis on dance rhythms, Cycle explores feelings of uncertainty and self-doubt over some of the most jubilant pop hooks the band has crafted yet. With a stunning light show from Shawn E. Lewis, Humble Braggers’ transcendent and impassioned tunes simply exploded onstage. The band were supported by experimental pop purveyors Space Cubs and effervescent jangle-pop quintet Little Summer, with a closing indie-dance set from DJ collective Dance Yrself Clean.

Tonight: Cavalcade

July 14, 2018 Nick Sessanna

Rochester’s Cavalcade is trekking out to Buffalo tonight to play what is sure to be a wild set. Having been around for a decade and change, this quartet mixes the free spirit vibes of Frank Zappa with the wild, sometimes discordant sounds and shout/speak vocals of The Dismemberment Plan. Joining them will be fresh, indie janglers Little Summer (ex-Unwelcomed Guests, Mallwalkers) and progressive funk duo Ish Kabibble. Tonight’s show is at Milkie’s Elmwood Lounge at 9pm. The door price is mysterious, but we would suggest bringing along at least $5 for admission. The Switch by Cavalcade

Tonight: Chevron Bloom

Chevron Bloom are a three piece band that’s been blazing through the scene recently. Tonight they are bringing their wide open sound to Milkie’s on Elmwood. Their sound puts together the more ethereal elements of psych and shoegaze with a harder alt/indie rock edge. Playing alongside Chevron Bloom on this stacked bill are the emotive slowcore band, Honey COMA, who always bring it with their strong songwriting and lastly a debut from Little Summer, a new act featuring members of the Mallwalkers, Unwelcome Guests, and Slow Mutants. Doors are at 8pm, $5 at the door. EP by Chevron Bloom
