Tennessee's Glossary

Tennessee's Glossary is finally making a Buffalo debut and it's about time. After its first pair of albums, the band altered its lineup and shifted from a raucous, warts and all indie outfit to something sounding like Phil Spector and Neil Young making records with Whiskeytown. The resultin How We Handle Our Midnights (Undertow) is a slept on masterpiece waiting to be discovered with Joey Kneiser’s beautifully weary voice and tales of small town hijinx, hookups and emotional dead ends. It's a tough record to live up to but Glossary somehow managed to do so with this year’s For What I Don’t Become for the same kind of stories and beautifully crafted rock and roll noise. WNY music aficionados are likely familiar with the Ohio band Two Cow Garage by now. Two Cow, for the unindoctrinated, is a blistering trio that puts together Haggard, Skynyrd, The Ramones and Dinosaur Jr for a punk-imbibed, country kissed brand of rock and roll that is unmatched. Catch it at Mohawk Place Saturday (Oct. 21), 9pm
