Welp, today is Day
Eleven, which means: another Buffalo Infringement Festival has (just
about) come and gone. Almost a thousand live performances, readings,
and art/film showings in eleven days? If you didn't immerse yourself
in it, or at least go to check out a friend's band in some random
corner of the city at some random time on some random day in the last
week or so, then you really missed out. We've watched the volunteer
organizers' heads nearly explode, spectacularly, and seen some
unexpected excellent performances. But the real hero this week is my
liver (sorry, little buddy).
To show your
thanks to all the folks who put this together, and check out some
fine, fine, infringey bands, head to Nietzsche's for the closing
ceremonies (featuring Erin Sydney Welsh, PROJEX, Cavalcade, Axis of
Evil, and Zongo Junction) tonight from 8PM til Nietzsche's-O-Clock.
Otherwise, there's still a plethora of other going-ons going down
today. Some suggestions?
DEATH DISNEY
Social commentary
in the form of street art from one of the Toats Orig dudes. If you
haven't already checked it out, make your way down to The Vault (702
Main St)...
The Haunted
Buffalo
The solo music by
Eric Charles T is described on the Infringement site as “acoustic
horror... a mix of horror, camp, and coffee, peppered with occasional
punk rock & country western covers.” Let this 4PM performance be your reason to check out the recently expanded Allentown Music (1113 Elmwood).
Three Bands at
Tudor Lounge
If you missed
alt-pop group Victory For Poland at our rooftop party last week, then
make it a point to check them out at Tudor Lounge (335 Franklin)
tonight. We liked them so much, I think we hired one of them (?). They'll be sharing the stage with the spacey Suffolk &
Rain, along with indie-rockers Sea Snake Vs. - who played our rooftop
show last year, and have hands down the best description in the Official Infringement Guide - look it up. Music starts at 8PM.
OK, that's just a couple suggestions. I know there's probably some great zombie/gay vampire/medieval TV show on HBO or AMC that you don't want to miss, but you should really get outside and check out the Festival. It's pretty cool and it's made out of Real Life.
