If there was ever a venue that better encapsulated Buffalo's appreciation of the arts, our propensity for cultural output, and the underlying, do-it-together perseverance that unites the city's aesthetes than Sugar City, we don't know what it is. Formed between 2006 and 2008, Sugar City evolved organically as a springboard for alternative arts and cultural events, and since early 2009, the collective has called the building at 19 Wadsworth its home.

As you probably've heard, the building recently changed ownership, and after three-plus years at the location, the group has been asked to move on. Without a solid escape plan, Sugar City launched it's 30 Days of Awesome program, presenting a different show or event every day of its last month at the Allentown spot. Tonight's Celebration & Moving Party is the last show of the series, and it promises to be a pretty, pretty stellar send-off for the idiosyncratic collective.

There isn't a more appropriate headliner than The Hive Dwellers – a band led by Calvin Johnson, who's helped shape the DIY indie scene since performing with Beat Happening in the 80s, writing for the zine that became Sub Pop Records, and launching the underground label, K Records (who, in turn, helped launch acts like the Melvins, Built to Spill, Beck, and Modest Mouse, amongst a plethora of others). The Hive Dwellers' sound combines the stripped down, bedroom rock of Johnson's Beat Happening with the twee-dub of his later projects like the Dub Narcotic Sound System and the Dub Selector collaborative series. They will be joined by label-mates The Curious Mystery, along with local acts The Mallwalkers and Nicky Gordon, for a 6pm show at the Wadsworth venue ($8).

But, no, wait; it doesn't end there! After the Wadsworth show, festivities will be moving a couple blocks over to an after party at Hallwalls (341 Delaware Ave, 10:30 PM, $3-5), where space rockers UVB-76 will perform Kraftwerk's The Man Machine, followed by live band karaoke! Too-much too-good – do go out and say thanks to the Sugar City folks for making so much good shit go down the last few years, and wish them luck with wherever their strange path may lead.
