Tonight: Lazlo Hollyfeld & Friends do Talking Heads

After dropping a crowd stirring performance at the Night Lights Festival this past September, long time experimental rockers Lazlo Hollyfeld (& Friends) will once again tackle their reoccurring tribute series to the Talking Heads this evening at McGarret’s. Since its debut at Pearl Street’s New Years Eve covers party in 2009, the tribute show has seen many different variations at venues and events all over town. Playing the part of the always revolving “Friends” role this evening will be Dave Calos (Bearhunter, Applennium), Chris Groves (Fourem, Applennium), both of whom joined Lazlo at Night Lights for the performance, and Ryan Campbell, currently drumming in Lazlo lead guitarist’s Sonny Baker’s fleshed out solo project. Music kicks off at 10pm and will go long into the night as the band plans two long sets. Cover will be $5 at the door.

Tonight: Lazlo Hollyfeld

As a solely instrumental rock band, Buffalo’s Lazlo Hollyfeld are able to create vivid, melodic tracks with often a pensive atmosphere. With three full-lengths and two EPs to their name, the latest of which being 2010’s Desert, the band is working on their newest album and have been touring in addition to playing various local shows throughout this year. Guitarist and singer/songwriter Sonny Baker, also of indie-rock outfit Wooden Waves, brings an understated, yet emotive style of playing to Lazlo, using the group as an outlet for his more challenging and experimental inclinations. Tonight the band will appear following an opening set from Rhubarb at McGarret’s on Elmwood Ave. Music starts at 10pm.

Cover is $3 and it all goes down at 10 PM.
