Best Indie & Rock This Fall

in Rochester

Morrissey at Kodak Center

Morrissey

The British musical icon and the godfather of modern alternative music has an influence that cannot be overstated. Always passionate about music, Morrissey began his musical career as the lead singer of the Smiths, writing the classic albums The Queen is Dead and Meat Is Murder with guitarist Johnny Marr. Catch Morrissey as he embarks on his new North American tour kicking off on Halloween!

The Psychedelic Furs at Kodak Center

The Psychedelic Furs

Founded in London towards the end of the punk scene, The Psychedelic Furs revolve around brothers Tim and Richard Butler and their art-rock, indie rock sound. The band first came to the notice of mainstream American audiences in 1986 when director John Hughes used their song "Pretty in Pink" in his movie of the same name.

Leonid and Friends at Mayo Civic Center Presentation Hall

Leonid and Friends

Hitting the road in North America this year is Leonid and Friends, the YouTube sensation tribute band to Chicago, Earth Wind & Fire and others, from Eastern Europe! Despite never having seen Chicago live (they never toured to band leader Leonid Vorobyev's home country of Russia), the group became a global hit for their stunning recreation of the music of the legendary American soft-rockers.

Billy Bragg at Kodak Center

Billy Bragg

Since the early 80s, English folk singer and political activist Billy Bragg has crafted a career around protest, with his songs and shows focussed on calling out injustices and inspiring audiences to bring about change. Inspired by punk rock peers like The Clash and Elvis Costello and of course the American folk movement of the 1960s, Bragg has become one of his native country's loudest and most respected artists, continuing to rally against The Man with an undimmed spirit.

Night Ranger at Mayo Civic Center Presentation Hall

Night Ranger

All throughout the decade of decadence, San Francisco rockers Night Ranger rode high with a string of successful albums and singles, with their first five albums selling over 10 million copies across the globe. Straddling the worlds of hard rock and glam metal, they provided an anarchic soundtrack to the big hair generation, solidifying their here-to-stay status with the release of their seminal soaring power ballad 'Sister Christian' in 1984.

The Last Waltz Tour at Kodak Center

The Last Waltz Tour

Held on Thanksgiving Day in November 1976 at San Francisco's Winterland Ballroom, The Last Waltz was The Band's farewell show and went down in history as a cult classic concert thanks to its cinematic immortalization by Martin Scorsese and special guest performers including Eric Clapton, Dr. John, Joanie Mitchell, Muddy Waters, Neil Young, Van Morrison, and Ringo Starr, amongst others.

Beat - King Crimson Tribute at Kodak Center

Beat - King Crimson Tribute

The music of King Crimson is celebrated by a group of musicians that are less "tribute band" more "supergroup"! Legendary guitarist Steve Vai and Tool drummer Danney Carey join former King Crimson members Adrian Belew and Tony Levin to tour a show performing the best bits from the legendary prog-rockers' three 1980s entries, Discipline, Beat and Three of a Perfect Pair... plus potentially a few surprises!
