CKY with special guests CROBOT & CHASE THE COMET
CKY
Once upon a time, CKY burned it all down, with a raucous, anarchic, hard rock sound soaked in the skate-punk culture that birthed them and a hard-partying lifestyle onstage and off that decimated relationships and reputations in its wake.
Chad I Ginsburg, the band’s guitarist and singer, steps into the frontman role with charisma, charm, and bravado, confidently delivering a diverse performance as he claims a position that was clearly rightfully his to own.
He’s joined in enduring partnership and musical and personal chemistry by fellow CKY cofounder, Jess Margera, the drummer whose extracurricular work in projects like The Company Band (with guys from Clutch and Fireball Ministry)expanded CKY’s horizons as much as Ginsburg’s solo work has as well.
Guns N’ Roses, Metallica, and Deftones have all personally invited CKY on tour, cementing a legacy as a hard-charging live act. CKY built a worldwide fanbase of dedicated acolytes, friends, and supporters, lovingly dubbed the CKYAlliance, with a broader group of musicians, athletes, and other creative types in the CKY family, both literally and figuratively.
Carver City (2009) debuted at #4 on the Hard Music charts. It was the secondCKY album to debut in the Top 50 on the Billboard 200: An Answer Can Be Found(2005) hit #35 upon its release. But if anything, The Phoenix is a spiritual successor to CKY’s breakthrough, Infiltrate•Destroy•Rebuild (2002), with a hint of the appropriately titled debut, Volume 1 (1999).
“We’re grown adults now with an eagle-eye perspective on who we are, what wedo, and how to do it right,” Ginsburg declares, with matter-of-fact certainty.“None of us are out there in the clouds. We’re pretty well-grounded people that have an honest perspective on where we’re at.”
The totality of the CKY experience is perhaps best summarized by a quote from enigmatic comic book legend, author, and self-proclaimed magician, Alan Moore.“My experience of life is that it is is not divided up into genres; it’s a horrifying, romantic, tragic, comical, science-fiction cowboy detective novel.You know, with a bit of pornography if you’re lucky.”
Margera observes that it was “a perfect storm of events” that led to CKY becoming a pretty popular name. “When it’s happening, you’re not paying attention. But once you get a couple of years under your belt, you realize,‘Holy shit, man. That was lucky as hell that happened to us!’, ya’ know?”
“We’re feeling rather lucky,” Ginsburg agrees. “We’re not taking things for granted. We’re saturated in gratitude. It’s an incredibly humbled CKY, with a fire to last another twenty years. The point is to go play rock n’ roll and appreciate everybody else who does it, too. It’s a lucky job to have.”

Event Information

New Orleans duo $uicideboy$ have announced the schedule for their renowned annual Grey Day Tour in 2024. Rap cousins Ruby da Cherry and $crim will embark on a 41-date arena and amphitheater tour across North America, kicking off in Nashville, TN, at Bridgestone Arena on August 7th. The highly-successful and largest Grey Day Tour to date will feature stops in Los Angeles at Crypto.com Arena, in Atlanta at State Farm Arena, in Chicago at United Center Arena, and will conclude in Lincoln, NE at Pinnacle Bank Arena on October 11th. $uicideboy$ will be performing at KeyBank Center on September 28. The opening acts for the tour include Denzel Curry, Pouya, HAARPER, Shakewell, and Ekkstacy. Below is the complete list of tour dates with supporting acts in each city.

Pre-sale tickets will be available starting tomorrow, April 4th, at 10 AM local time. General ticket sales will begin on Friday, April 5th, at 10 AM local time. Link to purchase both pre-sale and general on-sale is available HERE.

This year for Grey Day Tour 2024, $uicideboy$ have partnered with PLUS1 for something very near and dear to the group: mental health. $1 per ticket will go towards helping those that need it the most. Ruby da Cherry and $crim are very excited about this partnership, and this is only the beginning of their plans to give back to those that have given them so much.

Since its inception in 2019, the Grey Day Tour has emerged as a standout and one of the “absolute coolest” summer tours, uniting rap and hardcore genres, while also serving as a launching pad for the first national tours for many critically acclaimed artists as well as showcasing artists from their independent label G59 Records. According to Billboard, the Grey Day Tour has propelled the $uicideboy$ into the Top 20 rankings of highest-grossing hip-hop touring acts of all time.

Coinciding with the tour announcement, the group has revealed the lead track “Us Vs Them” from their eagerly awaited next full-length album, titled New World Depression, set to release on June 14. On “Us Vs Them,” the $uicideboy$ delve into facing tough challenges and feeling disconnected from society. Ruby da Cherry and $crim deliver verses about coping with personal struggles and maintaining one’s identity in a challenging world. The single has already been featured on official Spotify playlists, including New Music Friday US and landing the cover Tirade and Alternative Hip-Hop. A link to stream the single is HERE.

Throughout New World Depression, the duo navigates themes of fame, self-destruction, and the relentless search for identity amidst chaos. Across the 13-track release, their raw, unfiltered lyrics serve as a gritty narrative of personal turmoil, substance abuse, and the struggle for authenticity in a world that often feels cold and indifferent. This album is an unapologetic exploration of the darker sides of human experience, resonating with anyone who has ever felt out of place or battled with their own shadows. The album will commemorate the 10th anniversary since the formation of $uicideboy$. Album pre-save is HERE.

Since forming a decade ago in 2014, the $uicideboy$ have prolifically shared their distinctive fusion of rap, punk, and trap with audiences worldwide. Starting out as pioneers of the SoundCloud Rap movement, they have gone on to deliver a tremendous amount of music and have achieved over 20 billion all-time streams, placing them in the Top 100 streaming artists of all time. In 2023, they were one of Spotify’s Top Groups of 2023 and one of SoundCloud’s Top 5 Most Streamed Artists.

Bikini Trill w/ Hip Monarch

Bikini Trill w/ Hip Monarch
Bikini Trill
Bikini Trill is a vibrant surf-pop trio based in Los Angeles, California, celebrated for their unique blend of genres and captivating live performances. Founded in 2017, the band features the talents of vocalist Lauren ‘LJ’ Johnson, guitarist Tony Barker Stern, and bassist Kourosh ‘Roach’ Poursalehi.
Their eclectic sound, which skillfully merges electronic, hip-hop drums, skank island guitars, and entrancing vocal melodies, has drawn comparisons to notable acts like Santigold, Sublime, and Red Hot Chili Peppers.
In the spring of 2017, Bikini Trill made their live performance debut at the famed SXSW festival in Austin, Texas. They quickly gained momentum, embarking on their first nationwide tour in the fall of 2018, opening for New Politics and The Score. This was promptly followed by another nationwide tour in support of Reel Big Fish.
2019 marked a significant year for the band as they collaborated with Jared Watson of ‘Dirty Heads’ on their single, ‘Lost Boy’. The song premiered on 96.5FM The Buzz and gained further recognition by making it onto Spotify’s Fresh Picks Playlist. That same year, Bikini Trill embarked on their first nationwide amphitheater tour alongside 311, TheDirty Heads, Interrupters, and Dreamers. Their captivating performances at renowned
venues such as Red Rocks Amphitheater, Austin 360 Amphitheater, and Bank of New Hampshire Pavilion were met with sold-out crowds.
In addition to their impressive touring record, Bikini Trill has also graced the stages of various esteemed music festivals. Their festival performances include Wonderfront Festival, One Love, Cali Vibes Fest, Bay Fest, Reggae Rise Up Maryland & Las Vegas, Everwild, and Summer Roots Fest.
Presently, Bikini Trill is basking in the success of their latest EP release, “Hello, Welcome!” They are also preparing for a series of summer shows on the East Coast, supporting Dirty Heads, Lupe Fiasco, and Yelawolf. Their recent single, “What’s The Rush?!” has received notable recognition, earning a spot on KROQ 106.7’s Top 15 of 2022.

Moontricks w/ Will Evans
Moontricks
Based in the rustic Kootenay mountains of Western Canada, Nathan Gurley and Sean Rodman of nationally renowned electro-folk duo Moontricks draw inspiration from the ongoing cycles of the natural world. Both volatile and constant—like nature’s best offerings—the band finds solace and beauty in the fusion of seemingly disparate elements.
There’s a kind of technicolor campfire quality to their uniquely hybrid sound: Each track is steeped in tradition and polished with a futuristic sheen, mixing organic folk, roots rock, and old-time blues with modern electronic production. Since its initial release, the band’s breakout hit “Home” has reached over 10 million streams, and their original tracks have been licensed for a wide range of television networks, including Netflix and Fox Sports.
With the release of their debut full-length album Currents via Westwood Recordings, the duo reveals an ever-evolving, cohesive blend of introspective writing, soulful, gritty blues, boot-stomping basslines, and intricate electronic arrangements. Vast, intimate, and dazzling, Currents is an album about settling into feeling comfortably lost, and being okay with not knowing it all. It’s about finding joy and inspiration in the act of seeking.

Natural Garden Medicine Workshop

October 3, 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm
Cost: $45/ticket | $40.50/member

There is medicine growing all around us! From the beginning of time, humans have relied on nature to keep us healthy, but somewhere along the way we lost touch with the medicine that plants can provide. From herbal teas to salves and tinctures, there are a variety of ways that we can harness the power of plants to create herbal remedies right at home. In this hands-on session, we’ll use easy-to-grow medicinal herbs and combine them with honey and beeswax to create simple natural remedies. Each participant will leave with the remedies they create in class, and a feeling of empowerment to grow and create their own apothecary items at home. Registration closes on September 30.

Meet your instructor, Erin Masterson Holko!

Erin is a Buffalo area native. She grew up in East Aurora, working in the family garden center alongside her
dad and brothers. After attending Mount Mercy Academy in South Buffalo, she studied something
completely non-garden related at the University of Rochester. After graduating, she moved to San Diego,
CA where she did use her degree in Russian language for several years. After realizing that she much
preferred being outdoors and playing with plants and animals, Erin found herself back in the nursery
industry. Her city home garden grew to include not just fruits and vegetables, but chickens and eventually
honeybees. The more she learned about honeybees, the more the love for them grew. This passion turned
into a retail beekeeping supply store in San DIego where Erin taught others about urban beekeeping.
In 2016, Erin moved back to the Buffalo area, along with her husband and two sons. Today she lives in
West Falls with her family, a pack of golden retrievers, alpacas, donkeys, goats, chickens, and of course
honeybees. She works with her dad and her brother at Masterson’s Garden Center in East Aurora, where
she oversees green goods operations as well as many other areas of the business. In addition, she owns
and operates Beekeeper’s Garden Apothecary, growing and creating herbal remedies utilizing plants and
products sourced from the beehive

Coral Moons w/ Tuesday Nite
2024-10-03 20:00 | Buffalo Iron Works, 49 Illinois St, Buffalo, NY, 14203, United States
Coral Moons w/ Tuesday Nite
Coral Moons
Coral Moons is an indie pop band that formed on the shores of Boston and recently relocated to the woods of Upstate New York. If they’re not tending to their gardens, taking film photos with vintage cameras, or drinking homemade wine by the fire, they’re touring nationally and hitting up major music festivals on the way.
The solitude and stillness of the cabin has had an immersive impact on lead singer and songwriter, Carly Kraft (she/her). She describes a week at their home studio in the woods, caring for her chickens, as a healing experience. Seeking refuge to heal old wounds, moving to the countryside has forced her to slow down and reclaim what was always hers — her songs.
