Celebrate Good Times, C'mon
OK, I am a bit embarrassed at the Kool and the Gang musical reference, but this will be a darn good weekend at Mohawk Place, Buffalo's leading alternative/alt.country and roots rocking club at 47 East Mohawk Street (no disrespect to the Sportsmen's Grill, which is more country, alt.county an d roots rock and much less alternative).
In particular, Saturday's and Sunday's shows will be real hell raisers; starting at 8 or 9 p.m. (I've seen both) Saturday, November 26, a combination of legendary local punk, new wave and cow punk/roots rock musicians from Buffalo's 1970s-1980s music community will team up with some newer/younger bands for a show to benefit the American Red Cross; the event is being organized by Bob James of the Ministers of Love, who formerly played with the Restless, the Rain, the Third Floor Strangers and others. James also helped organize the "This Is It: Greater Buffalo's Greatest 1977-84" compilation double CD, possibly the best recording or Buffalo music in existence.
Among the musicians and bands featured on the CD are Terry Sullivan/The Jumpers, Pat Kane, Dave Meinzer/Davy and the Crockets, the Vores (who have a pretty cool new CD to be reviewed soon at http://Buffaloroots.com) and James, and all of these musicians will perform at the November 26 show. The actual lineup is: The Vores, Middleman (playing Pauline and the Perils' songs), the Outlyers (Meinzer's current band, which will play Davy and the Crockets' songs), Pyrolixious from Kenmore West High School, Wheezing Stumblers (including one of Meinzer's nephews), the Old Sweethearts and the Transonics, both also with very good CDs I will soon review. There will also be solo acoustic sets by Sullivan., James, Adam Gearing (currently of the Outlyers, formerly of the Riddlers), Kane (the Stains, the Elements) and Gary Zoldos (the Method, Hiwatts).
Sunday, November 27, Mohawk Place celebrates its 15th birthday with several bands in a bash expected to run a long time into the night, featuring the Irving Klaws, Mark Norris and the Backpeddlers. Missing Planes, Wolf Ticket and the Old Sweethearts. It will be a free show, so enjoy.
Val and I want to thank Pete Perrone, the owner and proprietor of Mohawk Place, as well as Mike Doktor, Renee Roberts, Bill Nehill, Marty Boratin (formerly) and others who have helped make Mohawk Place a great club to catch excellent local and national bands at, and a home away from home.
