Tonight: Spooky Business Presents Khari Mateen


As the city of Buffalo continues to melt into a puddle of sweat, beer, and chicken wing grease, the good news is that the weekend has arrived. The guys at Spooky Business, who will be our house DJs for a little summer party we are throwing next month, are hoping to take your mind of heat this evening as they welcome Khari Mateen to Hardware. Mateen, a famed producer known for his studio work with the Roots, Lauryn Hill, and others, returns to Allen St after appearing just over a year ago to play cuts from his own solo releases of R&B and laid back funk. Long time Buffalo DJ Cutler, Rick Jameson, and Seabass himself will provide support. Music kicks off tonight at 10pm. If you are going to sweat tonight, might as well be to some good music.






Tonight: Hardware Summer Slam w/ Khari Mateen


Musician, composer, producer Khari Mateen will be performing at Allen Street Hardware this evening for the bar's inaugural Hardware Summer Slam.  The Philly native, known for his production work with hip hop group The Roots on their Grammy nominated The Game Theory album, will be bringing his stellar backing band along for the ride, many of whom have worked with Talib Kweli, Lauryn Hill, Macy Gray, and more.  Mateen and his band will be playing selections off his debut album, Wait for Sunrise(stream below), a collection of laid back, groove laden R&B.

Joining Mateen will be an eclectic variety of Buffalo musicians included the Chillharmonic Orchestra, Kinda Like Dreamin's Dr. Ooo(one of our favorite new MCs), Essential Vitamin Crew's Tommy Too, and guitarist Dave Melillo.

Cover is $5 prior to 11:00pm, $8 after.  So get there early and use those three bucks towards one of Hardware's many tasty beverages.  Music kicks off at 10:00pm at the front room stage.
