Better Lovers Announce 'BLissmas" Shows. Annnd They're Gone

Posted in Shows on October 9, 2023

Better Lovers have announced their "first annual" BLissmas shows for December 8th and December 9th in Buffalo, NY. Unfortunately, they're already sold out. The band comments on the festival:

We are proud to announce BLissmass! Our 1st annual holiday show/festival! We couldn’t be more excited to perform, host and welcome everyone to Buffalo in December once again. Being back on the road this year and talking to all of you, we realized how much this weekend means to everyone and it became a tradition that was dearly missed by many. This band had its first ever practice, songs written, and shows played, in Buffalo. This show is special to us, and it’s special to the city.

We will host a toy drive for Toys For Tots, a non-profit public charity that distributes toys to less fortunate children. We encourage attendees to donate a new, unwrapped toy in exchange for a free gift at our merch table.

We thank It Dies Today, The Callous Daoboys, Greyhaven, and Spaced for being part of this inaugural show, and we can’t wait to kick this off and watch it grow for years to come.

The band released their debut EP, God Made Me an Animal, earlier this year.
