“World Famous” Made Violent made their return to Fredonia on Wednesday, Sept. 21 for another successful show at BJ’s. It was a long, overdue visit for the Buffalo rockstars, and a night filled with good music from Buffalo, New York, familiar faces and tons of dancing.
The show kicked off around 10:30 p.m. with Ugly Sun, a three-piece indie rock band with a bit of an alternative sound, from Buffalo. Being a fairly new band, having just started up this year, and playing first, the crowd certainly gave them their full attention.
Sixties Future, a band that opened up for Made Violent last semester, was next on the bill. They are also considered an indie rock band, but their sound differentiated from Ugly Sun. It was much more wholesome and rock and roll-stylized.
As the night progressed, so did the rowdiness. The venue got more and more packed, the audience getting more hyped as each set had played. Finally, 11:30 p.m. rolled in and Made Violent had hit the stage.
Also originating from Buffalo in 2013, the Made Violent boys are veterans when it comes to the music scene. For a while, each member went from band to band until they finally found the perfect trio of people for what music they wanted to play.
Everybody in BJ’s went wild from start to finish. Despite two bands already playing, there was no lack of energy from the band or the fans; in fact, there was an increase of it. Song after song and mosh pit after most pit, Made Violent brought high energy to the venue.
Closing the show with a fan favorite, “Wasted Days,” Made Violent made it impossible to not be dancing and singing along. It wouldn’t be a Made Violent show without vocalist Joe White crowdsurfing at the very end of their set.
It was mentioned that this had been the best show of the semester, and Fredonians are already awaiting their next show here.
