Better Lovers play surprise set at Rec Room, Matt Guglielmo of The Acacia Strain fills in on drums

Fans at the END, Greg Puciato, Soul Blind, and Fatal Visions show tonight, Friday, December 13th, at the Rec Room in Buffalo, NY, during BLissmas, the Buffalo, NY holiday themed multi-day event, got a surprise set from hosts Better Lovers.
Notably, drummer Clayton "Goose" Holyoak was absent, with Matt Guglielmo of The Acacia Strain stepping in behind the kit. Earlier this week, Holyoak revealed that his daughter had been diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia, prompting him to step away to focus on her care.
Noah Taylor finished out the remaining dates of the group's headlining tour, so the unscheduled set would seem to have been a practice run for their headlining set later tomorrow, Saturday, December 14th, at Riverworks.
