HEaRD in WNY: Top shows for the week of Oct. 24 - 30

This week's featured show is The Rabies Reunion: 10 p.m. Saturday at Nietzsche's.

Come celebrate Halloween with the 5-year reunion of Buffalo's quintesential horror punk act, The Rabies at Nietzsche's on Saturday, October 29th!

The sweet and syrupy powerful vocals of Lexi Lawsuit (often compared to Siouxsie Sioux), combined with catchy yet haunting guitar melodies, spooky keyboards, and the steady throbbing rhythmic percussion...it's horror pop cabaret that packs a punch.

The Rabies emerged back in 2003 and quickly grew in popularity, touring around the U.S. and performing alongside acts such as The Buzzcocks, Billy Talent, The Dickies, Wilco, and many more. They also played on Vans Warped Tour and performed live on Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider's radio show.

Emerging from the dead, they will be joined by fitting support acts The Irving Klaws and The Stripteasers starting at 10 p.m, and there's only a $5 cover!

Tickets still available for tonight's Sheepdogs show at Town Ballroom

BUFFALO -- Canadian rock band the Sheepdogs will make a Queen City appearance tonight at Town Ballroom -- and there's still tickets remaining.

The band, which formed a decade ago in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, is comprised of lead singer and guitarist Ewan Currie, his brother Shamus Currie on trombone, keyboard and tambourine, bass guitarist Ryan Gullen, drummer Sam Corbett, and guitarist Jimmy Bowskill.

The band describes itself as "pure, simple, good-time music" with their most recognizable song, "I Don't Know" sounding almost like Southern Rock. In fact, Currie often credits groups Sly and the Family Stone, Humble Pie, Creedence Clearwater Revival, and The Allman Brothers Band as influences on his style.

Tickets to tonight's show start at just $17. They're available online.
