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. For
more info and tickets, you can visit buffalocomicon.com.

METALACHI
7pm The Studio @ Waiting Room, 334 Delaware
Ave (853-5483 / waitingroombuffalo.com) $12-$15
A
s far as fusion tribute acts go, Metalachi just might be
the one that stands out the most. 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.

that’s perfectly okay with them. 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. Be sure to check these guys out when they
head to Town Ballroom this Friday (10/16 @8pm).

erings, before the invention of the phonograph. 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.

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. Check them out this
