Tonight: Waxahatchee

November 7, 2017

Waxahatchee returns to Buffalo for the first time since 2015 tonight.  Katie Crutchfield’s last Buffalo appearance with her live band was her opening set for Sleater Kinney at Asbury Hall, which was in support of their third full length, titled Ivy Tripp. With another new record under her belt, Buffalo should welcome the live band’s return tonight at the Tralf Music Hall.  Released in July of this year,  Out in the Storm once again garnered Waxahatchee some crazy, well deserved media attention, after receiving overwhelmingly positive reviews from Pitchfork and more.  The full band live show is delicate and driving, and is one definitely worth seeing. Opening the show will be Ought, an amazing, frantic post punk act from Montreal, who played a great set at Mohawk Place back in August.  Tickets are available at the door tonight for $17, and doors open at 7pm.  This is definitely one you[...]

Tonight: Sleater-Kinney

December 10, 2015

Asbury Hall at Babeville plays host to one of the biggest shows of the year when the Sleater-Kinney reunion tour swings through Buffalo tonight with indie folk darling Waxahatchee. Hard charging from Olympia, Washington, Sleater-Kinney – Corin Tucker, Carrie Brownstein, and Janet Weiss – became  one of the most vital and important bands of the late 90’s and early aughts (2000’s), and with their excellent 2015 release No Cities To Love, they’ve returned in a big way. Katie Crutchfield’s Waxahatchee, from Birmingham, Alabama, will be opening  the show in support of her third LP Ivy Tripp. Tickets are $31 at the door, which opens at 7pm.

Waxahatchee – Ivy Tripp

April 10, 2015

If there’s anything I’ve learned from listening to Waxahatchee’s music, it is that less is more. The acoustic, lo-fi sound that frontwoman Katie Crutchfield brought on her first record, American Weekend, was something very special. Recorded solo by Crutchfield in her bedroom, the lo-fi recording style made the record as a whole seem so humble, yet it managed to be so emotionally piercing. On her first record as Waxahatchee, Crutchfield more so proved herself as an absolutely incredible songwriter, even more so than she did her other projects, P.S Eliot and Swearin’. While both of those bands are great and shine in their own way, it is easy to tell that she really found her footing in Waxahatchee. Following American Weekend, Crutchfield released the band’s second full length, Cerulean Salt. On this record, she introduced a more cleaned up style of recording, prevalent drum sections, and electric guitars, bringing more of[...]
