2013 hasn't been so great for the Buffalo music scene. In early January everyone's favorite venue and local haunt, the Mohawk Place, closed down its doors much to the shock and dismay of the WNY community. Enough has been said about this iconic landmark, although maybe it hasn't when you consider just how important that place was for music and for the people who celebrate it. It was home and we miss it.
Just today, it was announced that another WNY music venue, Club Infinity, will be closing its doors. Now, I am fully aware that a club like Infinity doesn't hold the same weight as the Mohawk Place. Not even close. But they have put on their fair share of great shows over the years. The Breeders, ETID, Flock of Seagulls (which was surprisingly amazing), and hosts of great local shows. Not to mention the ridiculously ridiculous (and awesomely fun) country line dancing night which has been a staple ever since that place called itself Howdee's years ago. The truth is that any venue that lasts more than a few years in this area is worth a write up...except for maybe Club Diablo. That place just sucked.
So farewell Club Infinity. We will miss you.
Enough has been said about Mohawk. Like 10 posts ago.
Lawsuit or not, I didn't see Mohawk lasting much longer anyway
You guys were getting a bit off topic. Can we please just talk about how bad club diablow sucked?
what diablo was like the coolest halloween store themed bar in buffalo.
my ears always hurt after I went to a show here. bad sound and even crappier bartenders
i liked diablo before they starting doing bands. that was beginning of the end.
