The grapevine: Buffalo's indie concert showcase

This week some indie acts – some burgeoning, some successful – will be playing across Buffalo. From a four-guitarist band that slays live shows to a light-hearted electro group from Rochester, Buffalo’s final days of March and first days of April bring a diverse spread of artists to usher in spring. Do yourself a favor – get out and get dancing.


The Brimstone Blondes is a band with a B-52s sound that unites members in various SUNY schools to make their music. The group grew up together, but decided to take their music more seriously in 2010.

The Brimstone Blondes are straight outta Buffalo

Although formally founded in 2011, Brimstone Blondes have been making music together for six years. Lippman, Joey Rambell and Alex Mersinger, all graduates of City Honors in Buffalo, spent their middle school days hanging out at each other’s houses around the Queen City and banging out pre-pubescent jam sessions on instruments they barely knew how to play.
