What would Christmas in Buffalo be without the annual reunion of those great hometown punks the Fems? Although there’s a blue note to this year’s festivities due to the passing of Mark Freeland in June, he’ll be memorialized through video tributes during this year’s event. The show is partly a chance for the late night denizens of Buffalo’s rabid 1980’s underground music scene to come and hang out like they did all those years ago in the dark, blacklit confines of the small club on Franklin Street known as the Continental. For those who missed it the first time around, this will also be a great chance to catch up on what the buzz was all about, with it being an all-ages show. Not only can we hear the band live with all the hilarious stage banter from riveting frontman Bob Weider, but anyone can pick up a copy of the newly released CD, Live at the Continental, which features recordings from previous reunion shows in 1995 and 1996. Jam-packed with fan favorites like “No Fun” “Go to a Party” and “Corn King,” the disc serves as a raw, rockin’ document of one of the most fun and beloved bands to come out of an era that won’t come around again.
