Friday Night Bash

Edgy DC Apr 08 2009 07:08 AM

Friday nights are the primo nights at Coca-Cola Field in Buffalo, because that's the night that you can take in Bisons brand baseball with a great band beforehands. I know, right. The concert first? But there are fireworks after the game! Anyhow, the typo-riddled press release not only tells me that it's the BEST night of the week for Bisons baseball, but that fridaynightbash! is a registered trademark. So, if you're in Buffalo and catch a game some Friday, these are the fine bands you get to see. Your job today is to tell me in what genre these varied acts perform. April 10 A-List April 24 Large Marvin May 1 The Boogie Monsters May 8 Tom Stahl & The Dangerfields May 15 All Jack'd Up May 22 Papa and MamaRoot June 12 TOAST! July 17 Pirate Dreams July 31 Joe and the Schmoes Aug. 14 Fully Clothed Gents Aug. 21 Naughty Dawg Band

]Aug. 14 Fully Clothed Gents - Barenaked Ladies cover band I hate it when fully clothed gents cover bare naked ladies. I mean, what's the point?

Edgy DC Apr 08 2009 07:29 AM Re: Friday Night Bash

I'm gonna add value to my answer by posting a photo of what I think the bands look like. April 10 A-List --Good-time covers of the 50s and 60s! April 24 Large Marvin --The Rock of Western New York May 1 The Boogie Monsters --Down-home Southern-fried boogie trio. May 8 Tom Stahl & The Dangerfields --Uh, rock or something May 15 All Jack'd Up Edgy Alternatarock, heard certain Sunday nites during the "Local Hour" of Buffalo's rock station! (formerly known as a Deadlyne). May 22 Papa and MamaRoot ---- Rock and Soul covers June 12 TOAST! ---4th wave ska, catch it! July 17 Pirate Dreams --Good-time Island sounds from the second-runner-up in the Jimmy Buffet Cover Band Compeition at TGI McScratchy's, 2006. July 31 Joe and the Schmoes "We defty categorization man. I hear influences from everyone, even Prince." Aug. 14 Fully Clothed Gents ---What would happen if Chicago and Blood, Sweat & Tears had grown-up kids Aug. 21 Naughty Dawg Band --You wanted the best, you got the best. The shortest band in the world...

Painful. Here we go: April 10 A-List Rock Covers . April 24 Large Marvin Rock Covers . May 1 The Boogie Monsters Um, Rock Covers. May 8 Tom Stahl & The Dangerfields In the interest of meeting the wide variety of tastes among the Bison faithful, TS & the DFs offer... Rock Covers. May 15 All Jack'd Up Bon Jovi Covers May 22 Papa and MamaRoot 70s Covers ('cuz i'ts time for a cool change). June 12 TOAST! Rock/Party Covers (I'm going to go ahead and assume this is the same as "Rock Covers" but they're not too homophobic to include "Love Shack" in their playlist. July 17 Pirate Dreams Jimmy Buffet Covers (Because you hear a steel drum and drink some Jamaican rum and you just know you're in Buffalo.) July 31 Joe and the Schmoes Party Band Covers (I suspect they can somehow play "Louie Louie four times during a 40-minute set.) Aug. 14 Fully Clothed Gents Bare Naked Ladies Covers (Fun with Antonyms!) Aug. 21 Naughty Dawg Band 70s, 80s, 90s, Rock Covers (We won't touch the '50s, '60s, and aughts. I'm sorry. Look elsewhere.)

="Edgy DC"]May 8 Tom Stahl & The Dangerfields - southern rock I need you to be more specific. No, wait, I need you to be less specific. May 15 All Jack'd Up - rock More specific on this one. May 22 Papa and MamaRoot - oldies I need more. July 31 Joe and the Schmoes - rock They give a more specific sub-genre description. Let's make Tom Stahl just "rock," Jack'd Up "hair metal rock," Papa "50s/60s rock," and the Schmoes "90's alternative rock."

Yeah, that isn't bad. "You're Still Standing There" the Steve Earle/Lucinda Williams duet probably the most obscure song.

Farmer Ted Apr 08 2009 04:35 PM

Large Marvin. Hehe.

DocTee Apr 08 2009 09:50 PM

The guy on the far right of Large Marvin looks like a poor man's Brad Pitt.
