This week’s featured event the Of Night & Light Tour Kickoff Show. Of Night And Light is an independent post-hardcore/alternative rock trio formed in Buffalo, NY in 2015 by Joseph Kinem (guitar/vocals), Cameron Thibault (bass/vocals) and Nick Badeau (drums). Drawing influence from the genre-bending styles of bands such as Thrice, Saosin, and Brand New, Of Night And Light combines raw vocals with delayed, rhythmic guitar chops, aggressive overdriven bass riffs and eclectic drum fills to create a rich sound that flows through the quiet, effect-laden lulls of indie rock to the heavier roots of hardcore and metal. Their first studio album “Of Night And Light” was released autonomously in September 2017 after a successful crowdfunding campaign and followed by a supporting tour of the northeastern United States. In 2018 the band made their debut on the final run of Vans Warped Tour with plans for an east coast U.S. circuit in the October titled “The Apollo Tour” and a follow-up studio EP slated for the coming year. Come give them a great farewell right before they hit the road this Saturday, October 13th at Buffalo’s DIY capital Sugar City. Pizza slices will be available for $1 at the event and there will be an official after party at Sports City Pizza Pub right down the road. This is an ALL-AGES show so bring the kids and leave the booze for later! Come early and leave late, and bring a friend! Set times will not be announced ’til the show starts – support ALL the bands because this is what it’s all about! Shambles (punk rock), County Kings (metalcore), & Eerie Shores (alternative rock) will be kicking off the event, with doors at 6:00pm. A simple $5 cover gets you in for the whole show!
