HEaRD IN WNY: Top shows for the week of July 4 - 10
Unknown
July 04, 2016
This week's feature event is on Friday -- a double show for one price: The Scenics and Green Jello.
Green Jellÿ/Jello was formed in 1981 in Kenmore by founding member Bill Manspeaker with one goal: to be "The World's Worst Band." Over the years they grew and changed (but never matured) and found fame in their antics, having had famous names dropped throughout their revolving cast of puppets including Danny Carey and Maynard James Keenan of Tool. They've also been Grammy nominated, sued by Kraft Foods, Kellogg, & even Metallica, and toured many a time with their dear friends GWAR.
Now fresh off a tour run with Insane Clown Posse they return home for a late night wild time at the one-and-only Mohawk Place. This "Punk Rock Puppet Show" is a local legend, and a true treat to see for only $5. Come at 8 p.m. for the early acts including Toronto Proto-Punk legends The Scenics who bring back that late 70's charm, then stay after Midnight when the Jello shenanigans take over.

Destination EU: DoDriver looks to tour Europe
Unknown
July 03, 2016
BUFFALO -- The popular Western New York four-piece rock band DoDriver is looking to spread their music to the world -- or at least Europe.
The band recently came across an opportunity to play a series of shows throughout Europe in October, 2017. But with the opportunity comes a challenge: Raising the more than $20,000 to make it happen.
Hello Internet.
The band turned to GoFundMe in hopes of having friends, family and fans help raise the necessary $20,500 for the trip to Germany, the Netherlands, Czech Republic, Poland, Switzerland, Austria and Hungary.
The band says it needs to secure the funding by the end of July in order to get the arrangements finalized. They've still got a ways to go. Seventeen days in, they've raised $325 of the necessary $20,500. But four weeks is a long time on the Internet and the goal is hardly unreachable.
The plan is 10 -- maybe 12 -- shows in 15 days beginning Oct. 1, 2017, in support of Lord Bishop Rocks. Each show will be filmed and some will be broadcast live. There is also plans to record a track in a studio in Budapest.
The band has experience playing outside the U.S., having played gigs in Puerto Rico and Canada, as well as six American states. They've opened for dozens of national headliners, including their childhood idols, KISS.
And now, they intend to make it big.

We hope to make 2017 our best year ever as a band and we want you to help us do just that! For years our fans, friends and family have been telling us that we "should be famous by now" or "should be playing big arenas" or "are WAY better than X band" so this is our chance to go prove to another part of the World what you already know. Thank you so much for making our dreams come true!For more information, visit their GoFundMe page or Facebook.

Following Adults, the band released “Chardonnay” an emotionally right tune released in 2015, produced by Paul Leavitt (All Time Low, The Dangerous Summer). The current tour promotes their latest offering, "I’m So Dead," co-produced by guitarist Rob Chiarappa and Mike Oettinger (Man Overboard, Transit) and mastered by Grammy-nominated German Mastering engineer Robin Schmidt (The 1975, The Black Keys, Mumford and Sons).
Mike Schiavo, aka Spots, a contestant on the 2016 season of The Voice, is a 20-year-old singer/songwriter raised in Colonia, NJ. His biggest inspiration is The King of Rock & Roll, Elvis Presley.
Schiavo's style of pop-rock has been stealing hearts all over the world through Youtube where his channel has received almost half a million views and is a member of the Awesomeness TV Network. Mike's music career quickly took off and now you can see him performing with numerous national acts. Mike's popularity, success, and talent are leading him to take over the music industry.
