Must See Shows (5/28/25-6/3/25)

May 27, 2025

Thursday, May 29th @ 7pm Keep Flying @ Rec Room   Since 2015, high energy pop punk/ska hybrid act Keep Flying has been consistently pumping out Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater adjacent singalong anthems that have been hooking listeners throughout their tenure. The outfit may already be in your periphery as they have been regularly touring Western NY between Buffalo and Fredonia for close to a decade. If you are fan of Less Than Jake, Four Year Strong, or Millington, this one is for you.   This gig has a great undercard as well, featuring Buffalo post-hardcore act Gatto Black (who also released one of our favorite albums in 2024). Joining the lineup is local indiemos We Were Blank and alt-rockers Star Theory. $20.55 landed.   To save the bartender from repeating the same phrase over and over again, yes, Rec Room has mozzarella sticks.   Daylight by Keep Flying Saturday,[...]

Friday, February 7th @ 8pm The Spit Sisters w/ Racehearse, Catspurr, and Sleep Debt Ceiling   Milkies has an accessible local ripper on Friday with some bands that should be on your radar if you are paying attention to the local scene. Sharing the bill will be riot grrrl redux rockers The Spit Sisters (who you may have caught night 1 of Mohawk Place’s curtain call), folk-punk aficionado Sleep Debt Ceiling, multi-genre experimental outfit Catspurr, and raw surf punkers Racehearse. 8pm doors with a $10 cover.   Saturday, February 8th @ 7pm Brooke Surgener & the Bandits w/ Star Theory, Nancy Dunkle, and akloh.   Erie, Pennsylvania indie pop artist Brooke Surgener and the Bandits heads north on the 90 Saturday evening in support of their latest release, “Got it Good.” Surgener’s sound has a bit of a cheeky Alex Lahey meets a smokier-voiced Lucy Dacus vibe.

Wednesday, 9/18 @ 7pm STRFKR w/ Happy Sad Face @ Electric City Ever-evolving Portland electro-pop act STRFKR returns to Buffalo mid-week to deliver ear worms from the band’s deep catalog. Since forming in 2007, the outfit has seen massive success on the indie scene with their knack for melodies that live inside your head and never seem to reach an expiration date. STRFKR is touring in support of their seventh album, Parallel Realms, released via the band’s long-term partner Polyvinyl Records. If STRFKR isn’t already a staple on your playlist, then it would be recommended for fans of Passion Pit, Toro y Moi, or the synth-heavy side of of Montreal. Also sharing the stage will be Joshua Tree-based psych-pop act, Happy Sad Face. Doors are somewhere around $29 to get in.   Friday, 9/20 @ 7pm Man on Man w/ Star Theory @ Mohawk Place Polyvinyl really makes a splash[...]
