As a lifehacker devotee and ex-Buffalonian, I can see this as an important topic to revisit. Check out ex-Buffalo bands The Sheila Divine as well as the also defunct but wicked awesome Tugboat Annie. Both should be available on iTunes. I know this reply is a year late but I’m just discovering your blog. As a lifehacker devotee and ex-Buffalonian, I can see this as an important topic to revisit.

Same song as above but was on his first full solo album (Eat em and Smile) after leving VH. The bassist in his band then was Billy Sheehan who was in Talas before Dave snapped him up. Ladies Night in Buffalo also by David Lee Roth and on the same album. A nice tribute to the city and a WNY tradition back in the day.

Hard to beat a good crowdsource of music lovers. WBER also has a show called "The Local Show" it's 8 pm - 11 pm on Sunday. I don't follow where artists are from much, so I can't directly help.

Teddy Gieger is a young musician from Rochester who's had some national success lately. A lot of jazz greats have Rochester ties, including the Mangione family. If you like R&B, I could have sworn one of the members of Blackstreet was from Rochester. Hip Hop -- I believe Chi-Ali, who gained fame for his work on Black Sheep's "A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing" went to Buff State. Of course, he's in jail in Elmira for killing his brother-in-law, so you may not want to include him in the fun ;-) Love The Hip, but they're Canadian. Bon Jovi?
