Guess who else is playing in Buffalo soon?

The Old 97's!!!

They're playing on July 26th at Thursday at the Square:



I'm trying to send at least one of my friends from Syracuse. But you all live in Buffalo - you have absolutely zero excuse not to go to this show. The Old 97's are so, so good, and so much fun to see live. I missed them once when they played Buffalo (back in like, 2003 or 4 or something), and now I am going to miss them there again. You must go in my stead, then post about it here and make me all jealous.

Actually, looking down the schedule for that Thursday at the Square thing, I'm like, "Why, exactly, is it that I don't live in Buffalo?" :/

    Though friends recommend it highly, I don't know the Old 97's music very well. But I like frontman Rhett Miller's solo project "The Instigator" (chica put me onto that a few years ago). On the strength of that alone I'd consider it, but now that the reco's are piling up I'll be sure to check out the Old 97s at the Square.

    Oh, please do! I just know you'll like it. The Old 97's are more rockin' and more twangy than Rhett's solo stuff - but his awesome lyrics and song craft are still there. Actually, if you've ever seen a Rhett solo show, he wails and flails just like it's an Old 97's show, even if it's just him and an acoustic guitar on stage. Good times. :)
