Buffalo Boy's Blog

I saw the Police and Elvis Costello in May which put a major dent in the bands I have left to see. There are still several that if the chance comes, Im going to jump at the opportunity:

1. U2

2. Echo and the Bunnymen

3. Simple Minds

4. XTC

5. James

6. Peter Gabriel

7. The Rolling Stones

8, The Jesus and Mary Chain

9. Matthew Sweet

10. Morrissey

Its a whos/who of '80s artists for the most part but thats where my musical taste has evolved from. All are active still though many will be tough to get them close enough to Buffalo to make a reasonable run at them unless they do Toronto.

The Stones are getting old, but they still rock live but who knows if they have another tour left, U2 is probably my best shot of the bunch, Echo has been to Buffalo several times so they are the next best possibility, Simple Minds has a double CD in the works so that could happen in the future but most likely to happen in Toronto, XTC doesn't leave Europe very often, James is playing again but only in the UK, Morrissey has a new CD out but who knows if he'll come to Toronto or Buffalo, Peter Gabriel would be sweet and he has a tour or two left, Matthew Sweet would be great and is a possibility and young enough for a few tours of duty.and the Jesus and Mary Chain are still active, though who knows if they'll come close to Buffalo.
