DINGEN’S BAR & GRILL
601 dingens st. Buffalo, NY
Not really a “rave” as I described previously, but probably the closest thing you’ll find to a classic “old-school” party. The idea of having different styles of dance music in different rooms is an appreciated device that somewhere got cut out of most of tomorrow’s parties. Meaning that it used to be so cool to pick the vibe you wanted to feel when floating from room-to-room at the party. Frankly, when floating you might want something a little lighter than the Hardstyle. We’ll here you go, NuSkool Pirates is throwing another one, at Dingen’s Bar & Grill on the Buffalo/Cheektowaga border. This one promises to be bigger and better than the last one over there, which was a pretty damn good time. The atmosphere is relaxed and the vibe makes sense. Go hard, and go old school. The event will feature 3 rooms and 22 DJs. For the full schedule and lineup of performers check out the Facebook page HERE.
FRICTION
10p-4a

DBGB’S
253 allen st. Buffalo, NY
Always one of THE most fun nights on Allen st. the Queen City Cartel’s monthly Friction party is this Saturday at Duke’s Bohemian Grove Bar. Ahem. Going with the flow of the Allentown Art Festival, this party will pop of during the peak hours of the night. This month’s installment includes a fine mixing of artists including POTENT J, SUNGLASSES MIKE vs. OWSKI, DERF, and MEDISON.
If you are planning to party-hop this weekend, just make sure to do so safely when driving. Much Love.
