The Canal Concert Series

The Canal Concert Series will be “Rockin’ the Colonies” this week, all the way back to the 1980s. Iconic British new-wavers the Psychedelic Furs have joined up with co-headliners the Alarm (pictured) and the Fixx, stopping at Gateway Harbor Park in North Tonawanda on Saturday (July 7). Although the Fixx and the Furs have continued to play together throughout the years, the Alarm had splintered by the nineties, coming back together in 2005 for a memorable Bands Reunited episode on VH1. 2006 has since seen the release of Under Attack (Eleven Thirty Records), the Alarm’s first album since group-founder Mike Peters was diagnosed with leukemia. Prognosis is favorable, and plans for future releases and tours are underway for all of these groups. This retro mod-punk showcase is totally free, and starts at 5:30pm.
