Draconator Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 My band Boomerang! was just confirmed to play Wingfest at Highmark Stadium this year (Labor Day Weekend). We'll be playing on Saturday, like all day! From what I understand, we're the first band in the history of Wingfest to be featured as an all day band! Details to follow (like ad design, etc). 5 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punching Bag Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Old news (Posted at 12:25 AM, Jun 30, 2021 and last updated 10:08 AM, Jun 30, 2021) about change in location https://www.wkbw.com/news/local-news/buffalo-wing-fest-moves-to-highmark-stadium-for-20th-anniversary but seems verified on https://buffalowing.com/ 2022 NATIONAL BUFFALO WING FESTIVAL Labor Day Weekend – Buffalo, NY Saturday, Sept. 3rd – 12pm to 9pm Sunday, Sept. 4th – 12pm to 7pm So why does wkbw story say "this year" last year. Personally I think it would be a good place for Paul McCartney to start a Wings band reunion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Jim Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 I’m outside with my sunglasses on so it was hard to read. I thought it said the first all GAY band……not that there’s anything wrong with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A band I was in long ago began our second set (Halloween gig) dressed as the Village People and we played the whole set dressed as such. People LOVED it. We had a white sheet hung up across the entire stage (like a curtain) and had it backlit once we began playing (a recording ... we did not play any Village People songs) "YMCA," so people could see our silhouettes. Then we dropped the "curtain," and did some lip-synching/performing as the Village People while the crowd went nuts and started dancing. Just food for thought. It went over really well and it was fun as hell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But maybe on a one-off thing it would be a riot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would occasionally do other staged things, but small stuff. Whenever we did "One Way of Another" I used to wear a blonde wig that was actually a "Something About Mary" wig, with the sticky hair in front. Little crap like that. People dug it. As you know, the more fun it looks like you're having, the more fun they have ... then you see them having fun and it's better for you. Great stuff! I miss it. Good luck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
