There’s a rock show tonight at Buffalo’s Mr. Goodbar (downstairs) that should absolutely be on your radar.

Can’t wait for the Strokes global comeback tour? Well, tonight you get the next best thing with the headlining act, Slow Animals, a Strokes cover band and patchwork of local talent. Come out and jam along with this on point five-piece as they perform your favorite tracks off albums like Is This It and Room on Fire.

Sharing the spotlight is SMUG, the hometown pop-punk trio your mother warned you about. This set’s going to be a total party with addictive, booze-soaked anthems that will make you want to trash a living room. Everyone’s going to be there so give in to the peer pressure and don’t miss it. You know you want to.

Topping it all off with a nostalgic indie rock sound that’s more comforting than a bowl of chicken noodle soup are local favorites, Cooler. Music is at 10p with a $3 cover at the door.
