Buffalo UnderSound!

Come get a taste of Buffalo’s underground electronic/rock/experimental pop scene at the Buffalo UnderSound! concert. Sure to be unconventional and exciting, the concert features music by GreggreG, Cages, Jack Topht & the Vegetables and perhaps some special guests. GreggreG & Friends mix sounds and samples, sometimes for hours on end, and do so by using a drum machine, vocalish chants, keyboards, and tone modules. The solo project Cages focuses on losing/pushing boundaries but brings the sound together by incorporating an obsession with tapes, field recordings, pipe dreams and vocals as musical glue. And to sort of combine those two worlds comes Jack Topht & the Vegetables. The Vegetables is a punk outfit in the form of one woman named Lindsey Lemberski (pictured), who produces keyboard bass lines with her right hand as she kicks snare combos with the rest of her limbs. Jack Topht improvises and builds on whatevershe throws his way, and what they produce is a stream of cranked-up, free, American rock and roll. This evening of electronic/rock/experimental pop music should certainly open some eyes to the local subterranean music scene.
