BUFFALO COMICON Sat 10/17: 10am-7pm / Sun 10/18: 10am-6pm The Buffalo Niagara Convention Center 153 Franklin St (833-6220 / buffalocomicon.com) $15-$25 C an you feel it? There’s an electricity in the air, a seismic shift as the forces of pop culture harness their singular gaze on the city of Buffalo for The 16th Annual Buffalo Comicon which will be happening at the Buffalo Niagara Convention Center this Saturday and Sunday. Over the course of two days, hundreds of people will be attending with a single-minded purpose: to nerd out as hard as they possibly can. And it’s going to be awesome. Much like your average comic book superhero, Comic Conventions had a humble start in the early 70’s before becoming the massive event it’s known as today. But it wasn’t always so well received. When the first comicon began on March 21, 1970 in San Diego, it was a tiny, one day affair known as San Diego’s Golden State Comic-Minicon ¬– a beta test for a gathering of like-minded nerds, geeks, and pop culture obsessives. The event attracted a staggering 100 people and two celebrity guests: Forrest J. Ackerman, who is essentially the father of modern sci-fi fandom, and comic book artist Mike Royer. Fast Forward 45 years, comicon has taken on a life of it’s own. Sprouting up in cities all over the world, the events attract thousands upon thousands of cosplay characters, authors, artists, actors and more for a truly unique experience like no other. This weekends event is hosted by Queen City Bookstore, one of America’s first comic book shops that opened up in Buffalo in 1969. You definitely don’t want to miss out on the action. Whether you want to see folks dressed up as your favorite superhero or simply want to hear from some of the very special guests they have attending this year, Buffalo Comicon will have something for everyone.

As their name implies, the band takes heavy metal classics and performs them in a mariachi style. It’s a truly bizarre concept that has interesting results: Randy Rhoads probably never intended his guitar solos to be performed on a violin, but that’s one of the best moments on the group’s cover of Ozzy’s “Crazy Train.” Aside from the unusual shtick, the band doesn’t take itself seriously, and almost everything written about Metalachi is a joke. As a result, finding out anything about the band isn’t an easy Feat. It doesn’t help that its members wear elaborate costumes and don’t disclose their real names. The group’s bio implies that they were consummated from a sports-team gang bang, describing their mother as such: “What began as an innocent night of snorting horse tranquilizers in a hotel room with seven members of the village jai alai team went on to produce the greatest metal band to ever live.” It’s going to get pretty wild this Thursday (10/15 @7pm) at the Studio @ Waiting Room when Metalachi takes the stage. > BY JEFFREY CZUM THU. 15 can ask questions of the college’s art conservation professors and talk to the graduate students about their projects. 878-5025 Ray’s Lounge & Catering - 7-10pm Kaisertown’s Half-Way to Dyngus Day Oktoberfest Polka Party. 8243227.

Tune says it best: “At the end of the day, people are going to call us whatever they want. We are referencing everything from classic house music to Timbaland in sound is, and we’re fine with that.” Perhaps what truly separates the trio from the mass of Electronic and Hip-Hop producers out there is the unique show they create by performing their bassy beats as band, completely live. When you to go a KNK show, you’ll see their music and the music of others morphed and turned on its head using only drums, keys, turntables and live sampling. The style creates not only a crazy dance party, but also an experience and vibe like no other.

Like their forebears, they do it using acoustic instruments. Mostly. “Saying we’re an acoustic band is a lie,” says Pete Bernhard, the band’s singer and main songwriter. “We have always played acoustic instruments though loud amps. We learned early on that it’s necessary to be loud when you want your crowd to dance.” Their live shows have always been lauded for their high energy, and on Tuesday night (10/20 @7pm), you can catch them in action as they perform at Town Ballroom with Deslondes. > BY JEFFREY CZUM Hosted by Buzztime Trivia.

Buffalo Library & - Erie County Public 7pm The Tralf Music Hall, 622 Main St. (852-2860 / tralfmusichall.com) $13-$15 I n The Valley Below’s first full-length LP, The Belt, starts off catchy – like really, really catchy. When you first hear the lead single, “Peaches,” it’ll sear into your brain for a solid month. The song’s use of sultry guy-girl harmonies and brooding beats brings to mind the sensual vibe of The Kills mixed with the electro-pop prowess of Cold Cave. Fronted by guitarist Jeffrey Jacob, who hails from Memphis, Tenn., and keyboardist Angela Gail, who was raised in Muskego, Mich., In The Valley Below started to generate some buzz after Bloc Party frontman Kele Okereke remixed the L.A. –based duo’s earworm “Peaches.” The remix, along with three other tracks that appear on The Belt, was released via the pair’s Man Girl EP back in May 2014. Press materials for The Belt, tout that the album could “very well be the soundtrack to a David Lynch movie,” which is a pretty lofty expectation for any record to live up to, but Jacob and Gail make it work.
