Buffalo stance

There was some serious stoner-psychedelic rock action going on at the House of Targ in early February. Rochester, NY, combo King Buffalo kicked off a heap of 2019 touring with this set, and were joined by locals Black Galaxy and The Deadseers, who kicked things off. Unfortunately I missed a chunk of their set, so only had time to snap a handful of pics.Here's some guitar action with Al!

Mart is somewhere under there.

Shirtless action with Kevin!

Al sings!

This is my second time seeing Black Galaxy. They were pretty good back in April 20 and have definitely sharpened things up since. Here's Dave and Jimmy!

Solo scene

A couple of weeks ago I headed over to Targ to get the solo debut of Danny Van Sceney - aka Matt Spag from Hellbros, Big Jeezus Truck and Knives For Kids (and no doubt other bands I haven't seen). On hand to help out with rocking sounds were The Haig and openers Sweet Rocket. Here's Rocket guitarist Ryan and bassist Ross doing some singalong action!
