Canada is represented by VCR, weirdo Toronto wailers, on tour with eclectic group Tonka and Puma while Montreal offers up queercore hardcore (the best kind) band Pretty Boys.

Seismic Thrust brings a different kind of Philly flavor with their jangly alt country,and PBGH neighbors Cruces dish out blues vocals with stoner doom instrumentals. Fellow Steel City act Brazilian Wax will bring some riot grrl flavor for a new generation.

Chimes sounds like the NY/NJ indie scene they’re from with their psychedelic slacker jams while the familiar fuzzy garage sounds of Rochester friends Green Dreams will supplement the know em love em local faves Space is Haunted, Healer, Hot Tip, Girl Scouts, Blobs and the CCDS (Death Squad) drummers.

Music should start at 2pm and there will be tables with local art collectives plus record labels and stores. GG’s Franks and Amy’s Truck will supply the food throughout the day. $10 is the cost to hang at the all ages fest.

New Jersey outcasts, the Battery Electric and Hot Blood, deemed fit to grace our little town with the sweatiest, nastiest, r’n’r their bodies could muster. Full-scale heathen-on-fire, Turbo-worshipping, punk rock. Wondering why the highly hyped Jersey-boys have developed such a serious rep? Gotta get to the east side to find out.

The bill also features a tour-de-force of Buffalo’s best. Johnny Thunders-rip off duo, Raunchy Sex, will be making their semi-annual reunion. Bobo, the Jimmer-led beautiful disaster, as well as garage bangers, Fatal Figures and Gay Boy Berserkers, Governess grace the stage, as do speed-chargers, One Way Terror. In between sets, Buffalo’s go-to punk rock DJ, Malik Saint, will be hypnotizing us with sleazy wax singles.

And what rock’n’roll show would be complete without booze? In addition to the excellent beer selection at the bar, there’s a little extra-special something in store for those who like to drink. Pay the $5 cover and see what I’m talking about…

Show kicks off at 6pm. Get early. Stay late. Party good.
