Three bands. Thirteen bucks. Saturday night in Syracuse. One Time Weekend is headlining a triple bill at Funk ‘n Waffles on April 4 with Mimicking Mars and Flashing Yellow, and if you are the kind of person who likes discovering new music in a room where you can actually feel the bass in your chest, this is absolutely your kind of night out.
About One Time Weekend with Mimicking Mars and Flashing Yellow
One Time Weekend headlines this triple-act bill, bringing the kind of high-energy performance that a Saturday night demands. Mimicking Mars and Flashing Yellow round out the lineup, each adding their own style and sound to what promises to be a full evening of varied, exciting music. Multi-band shows at smaller venues are where the magic happens — you get variety, you get discovery, and you get that communal energy that only comes from a packed room full of people who showed up ready to have a good time together.
The Venue
Funk ‘n Waffles continues to be one of Syracuse’s most reliable spots for catching live music on any night of the week. The 200-capacity room downtown has earned its reputation through years of hosting everything from national touring acts to beloved local favorites. The food is real — creative waffle dishes and a full drink menu that goes well beyond the basics — and the sound system does justice to every act that takes the stage. Downtown parking garages are nearby, and the location is walkable from most of the surrounding restaurants and bars if you want to explore before or after the show.
