WBER Presents in The Club: Mark Kozelek w/ guest

Door 7PM/ Show 8PM | 13+ | $15ADV/ $17DOS

Tickets available at all Ticketmaster locations including House of Guitars, and Tickets Express (875 Main St. Rochester, NY)

For many, the introduction to musician Mark Kozelek's artistry came in 1992 when after nearly a minute of whispering guitar, a pristine voice rose out, haunting and inhabiting the air it traveled. Greeting listeners with interlocking images of lost childhood and the depravity of aging, these initial seconds of "24" marked the entrance unto the romantic, reflective realm of Red House Painters - Kozelek's first musical effort to find label support. With each deliberate note and every articulated word, a feeling hung, suspended in the memory of a talented songwriter who could, through an unshakable, natural devotion to lyrics and guitarsmanship, pull an audience into the very moment of his inspiration. more...

WSM Presents in The Club: Vice Grip w/ guests

Tickets available at all Ticketmaster locations including House of Guitars, and Tickets Express (875 Main St. Rochester, NY)

Vice Grip originally began as a project between vocalist Izzy Sparks and keyboardist Felix Leiter. The two were grade school classmates, and began writing together at the age of 8. One of their first works, "The Eagle's Flight" was a symphonic piece and would later be stolen by renowned idea thief James Curnow. The two became discouraged and decided to "dumb things down" to prevent further thefts. Sparks and Leiter recruited bassist Jeff Mogley (formerly of Kajagoogoo), drummer Verizon Star, and newcomer A.S.H.L.E.Y. to fill out the live sound. Eventually guitarist Toni Gobble (the artist formerly known as Ripcord Baxter) and Keyboardist Cucci Mathers were also added. The "Spectacular Seven" (as they like to be called) began touring in 2006 following the release of their first full-length "The Very Best of Vice Grip". more...

 WBER & Funtime Present: Less Than Jake w/ Big D & the Kids Table, and Suburban Legends

Door 6pm/ Show 7pm | 13+ | $17ADV/ $20DOS

Tickets available at all Ticketmaster locations.

The Gainesville, FL-based quintet, Less Than Jake, known for their infectious ska-inspired pop-punk anthems have been making music, recording and touring together for 14 years. Formed in 1992 as a power-pop trio that included originators Vince Fiorelli (drums/ lyricist/Feuled By Ramen co-founder) Chris Demakes (vocals/ guitar) and Roger Manganelli (bass), Less Than Jake debuted in ’94 with the album Pez-core, including saxophone and trumpet players into their sound. Less Than Jake has watched bands come and go all the while surviving due to their willingness to evolve in such a way that has kept their earliest fans as well as a new generation of listeners excited about what they do. Of course, the best way to get buzzed off Less Than Jake is still the band’s high-energy, raucous live show. The band is touring in support of their latest release, In with the Out Crowd, with Buddy Schaub (trombone) and Peter "JR" Wasilewski (saxophone). more...
