The only reason I ever really leave a show early is if the after-party is more appealing than the event itself or if my desire for a Jim's stinger sub is unmanageable. Last Friday night at Sky Bar, I was there till the lights turned on and the 4 a.m.-ers were clapping for dirtybird crew member J. Phlip as she finished her set. Factory Nightlife is flying another dirtybird into the Queen City tonight and it is definitely not a show to miss.

Justin Martin, one of the co-founders of the crew and label, will be performing at Sky Bar for Factory Nightlife's Summer Series. His productions are sexy and deep and mixing is dare I say flawless. I have a personal obsession with the cover of his 2012 album release Ghettos & Gardens; a 40 ounce filled with flowers for the poetically hood.



Opening the event are Buffalo locals: DJ Jesse Aaron, and SwaggleRock (222 Oceans and Cloud 11). Get there early.



Summer is coming to an end and September is encroaching; soon Buffalo will be blanketed by winter slush. Take advantage of Sky Bar's rooftop view, the warm weather and the breeze of the season on your skin. Get sexy and dance to the dirtybird.

In the spirit of Memorial Day weekends past, a group of Chippewa clubs is having an Electronic Music Showcase tonight! Resident DJs at The Guvernment, Mark Oliver and Manzone & Strong, will make the trip down to Buffalo and be the featured performers of this showcase. Some of Buffalo's most popular club DJs will keep it going until 4am as always. The events will be dispersed among Soho Burger Bar, Privato, Bottoms Up, and The Purple Monkey. Though it is not stated, there may likely be cover charges at the doors of the establishments. Also the schedule and time slots for the performers will not be released until today. Follow @buffaBLOG on Twitter to get updated when that information is released.
