Cover Of The Week: Buffalo Tom does The Velvet Underground

This week's cover features our old friends from Boston, Buffalo Tom, cranking out the Velvet Underground's "All Tomorrow's Parties". Singer Bill Janovitz mentioned in the liner notes of Besides, most likely facetiously, that he was proud of his Chris Cornell-style scream toward the end of the track. You'll have to decide for yourself whether Janovitz hits or misses.

Buffalo Tom: New Tourdates + Old Music

Buffalo Tom was one of the best pop rock bands to come out of the thriving Boston scene of the 90s. They're playing a few select shows, including two in New York, over the next few weeks. Count me in for sure. Here are the dates:

June 23 - Paradise, Boston - tickets go on sale 5.12
This evening is in the smaller front room

June 24 - Paradise, Boston - tickets go on sale 4.28

July 8 - Cactus Festival , Belgium - check back for any more european dates

July 13 - Mercury Lounge, NYC

July 14 - Joe's Pub, NYC - acoustic show

While trolling Dime A Dozen and Pure Live Gigs recently, I came across a radio show that Buffalo Tom did in 1998 promoting Smitten. Great acoustic performance of four tunes from that record.
