Buffalo’s the Missing Planes have been around the Queen City’s music community, but now it’s time for them to leave the scene. Oh, but worry not fans of local indie rock, the Planes are not actually taking off for different skies. Leave The Scene is actually the name of the band’s third release. It promises to expand on the Missing Planes sound —part Breeders honeyed, crunching guitar rock and Beat Happening DIY aesthetic and honesty—and explore beyond it. The Missing Planes celebrate Leave The Scene this Saturday (July 12) at Mohawk Place with The Failures’ Union and The Gifted Children

L.A. punk band Time Again comes to Buffalo this week, touring in support of their new release Darker Days, now out on Hellcat Records. With their sound already established since their 2006 debut The Stories Are True—which earned XM Radio’s “Punk Song of the Year Award” for “Cold Concrete,” beating out better known bands such as NOFX and the Casualties—fans who have awaited the release of Darker Days aren’t likely to be disappointed. They’ve still got that high powered street punk that’s been selling out venues across the country. Time Again will play an intimate show at Club Diablo this Tuesday (July 15) with Wolf Tickets, Blind Hysteria, and Herb. Doors open at 7pm

Grand Island native Stacy Clark may be the area’s latest local girl made good, so it’s fitting that she’ll perform in Ani DiFranco’s renovated church, downstairs in the Ninth Ward at Babeville. Now having transplated to California, Clark has been busy breaking into “the Biz,” with three of her songs popping up on MTV’s smash hit The Hills as well as on the CW series Girlfriends. Not one to be stuck in the television trap, she’s also a contributing vocalist on Jack Mannequin’s new CD, due out in the fall. Her 2007 release, Apples and Oranges, garnered her immediate popularity with a certain crowd, with the tracks “You Make It Worse” and “Unusual” appearing on another MTV series, Engaged and Underaged. Clark is now at work on an acoustic album, as yet untitled, due out by early 2009. The show is on Tuesday (July 15), doors open at 7pm.

Ryan Shupe & The Rubberband comes to Nietszche’s this Wednesday (July 16). Formed in the mid-nineties in Utah, the band’s lineup comprises Ryan Shupe (fiddle,guitar,lead vocals), Roger Archibald (guitar, vocals), Ryan Tilby (bass guitar, vocals), Craig Miner (banjo, bouzouki, mandolin, guitar, vocals), and Bart Olson (drums). Shupe, who started playing violin at age 5, is descended from a long line of fiddle players—he’s the fifth generation to play—and by now he’s certainly perfected his technique. This string-based quintet plays country music with a jazzy edge that might make it alt.country, were it’s sound not so deeply rooted in tradition. The show starts at 8pm
