Music

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.

The grapevine

Buffalo has a jam-packed lineup this week. There aren?t many cities hosting a tribute to classic rock legends on one day, and then country stars and up-and-coming rappers performing the next day.

OPINION

Should you pay to play?

The year is 2014 and everything we listen to has been cut, re-cut, looped, flipped and remixed, however, nothing has been more re-mastered than the way we listen to music. Sites that allow for unlimited streaming like Spotify and Pandora have changed the way that we interact with music on a daily basis. In 2000, a chart-topping album would have millions of copies sold ? in the first week.

The best things in life are free

The Horzowski Trio is among many big musical talents that the music department is bringing to UB. All students can now get free tickets for all the department?s concerts and recitals. Courtesy of Lisa-Marie Mazzucco Free concerts featuring world-renowned musicians are rare, but that?s what the music department is offering UB students this year. Students who present a valid UB ID can get free tickets to all of the music department performances for the 2014-15 season. Until now, students who were not music majors had to pay for most of the music department?s concerts, with the exception of the faculty recitals.
