Aircraft and Bearhunter perform in The Front Yard as part of M&T Second Friday.
Aircraft is a four-piece Psychedelic Surf-Pop band from Buffalo, NY. Their 2013 debut, “Sonic Boom,” was met with enthusiastic reviews and prompted a two-week promotional tour throughout the northeast. Emphasizing thoughtful song-writing and energetic live performances, Aircraft defines their sound by simultaneously respecting and transcending their musical influences. Their songs are built on charismatic lead vocals supported by lush harmonies, melodic guitar work, and a powerfully attuned rhythm section. With an active touring schedule and new album in the works, Aircraft is committed to building their audience one show at a time.
Bearhunter began with David Calos, Mike Calos and Robert Pusateri in the Fall of 2006. The trio began writing music that extracts the most appealing elements of rock history without being over indicative. Bearhunter songs to date evoke a sense of looming madness fueled with love, coffee, nicotine and adrenochrome. Their debut album released in September 2008 is the culmination of their experiences together and apart over this time. The sophomore follow up "Still Life Terrarium" was released in May 2010, building on their sound as a tight three piece with intricate compositions. Their third album "Call It A Red" has taken the band in a slightly different direction with more concise songwriting. It was recorded analog tape to tape with Matt Smith at Hi/Lo and was released in June 2013 on Harvest Sum Recordings.
