Enter Battle of the Bands 




One of Rochester's best kept secrets is its music scene and that's why we invite you to tune into 98.9 The Buzz every Sunday night live from 8-11pm for the Sunday Night Shakedown, Rochester's local music show.  Host Frank De Blase, musician and award winning music critic from City Newspaper in Rochester, will play the Rochester and Western New York bands that you've been waiting to hear on the radio. 

Listen every Sunday night as we feature in studio interviews, live performances and 3 solid hours hours highlighting local talent. Turn the lights down and the radio up and get ready for an all killer, all thriller, no filler, stax-o-wax, mound-o-sound, good old fashioned rock n' roll hootenanny from Rochester's past, present and future only on 98.9 The Buzz.

Check us out on MySpace for more information including show recaps, upcoming show previews and links to the bands you hear only on the Shakedown
