Tonight: Radiation


Once a month, The Underground (274 Delaware), normally a gay club in downtown Buffalo, hosts a very unique dance party. Radiation is Facebook-described as being a host for, “ebm/aggrotech/goth/new wave/indie electro and more.” Last month, I attended out of curiosity, and was pleasantly surprised at how friendly and welcoming a crowd of corseted and BDSM bedazzled goths could be. Though I am not overly familiar with techno and electronica, I found the change of pace to be exhilarating. Going to Radiation is a bit like spicing up your everyday lunch menu—most of the time, you are happy with plain chicken sandwiches, but every once in a while, you enjoy a SOUL CONSUMING BLACK WASTELAND ON WHEAT. Just kidding—it is more like your run-of-the-mill dance party with plenty of gussied up neo-Victorian fashion enthusiasts. Very different, but definitely a good time. No cover, just come in, buy a beer, and enjoy something new.  Music runs from 11pm-4am.
