New Year's Eve Preview: Sound In Motion


To kick off the many events circling around the turn of the year, we decided to begin the list by highlighting MNM Presents interactive, collaborative shin-dig at the Pearl St. Grill & Brewery called 'Sound in Motion.' Three live acts will be paired up with a DJ and create a visceral and sonic experience that is unique to this area. Roots Collider, hailing from Rochester, brings their electronica-funkadelic spins to the table with Sigma the Turntablist, Rhubarb, a deep-funk group that's been running the mill for over ten years teams up with DJ Marco's Udagawa, and Space Junk, Buffalo's local jam-dance act will take turns with DJ Drop D. Since the flow of a DJ's act is somewhat different than a group's jam, this will be a challenging sonic balance for them and a sure-way to boogie for us. Pre-sale tickets are $13, and $15 at the door. Music will start at 11 p.m., 21+! See ya there. 







Tonight: Girl Talk



Ever find yourself listening to "The Weight" by The Band when subliminally in the back of your mind you hear the familiar shouts of Young Joc saying "anywhere ya meet me, guaranteed it's goin' down."  Girl Talk tends to have that effect.

Under Illegal Art Record label, mash-up artist Greg Gills, better known by his moniker Girl Talk, will be taking the stage tonight at the Buffalo Outer Harbor.  If you have no knowledge of his work and can't quite grasp the immensity of his jam-packed sampled catalog, his newest album All Day has 372 samples in a matter of 71 minutes.  Yeah, 372 song samples in nearly an hour.  Multi-genre and impeccably cut and blended, his tracks have a way of satisfying everyone's taste buds all the while keeping you bumpin' and grinding.  

"Livetronica dubcore" will be heard from Rochester group RootsCollider and Buffalo electronic duo Love Scenes will be opening as well.

Tonight: RootsCollider, Twin City Kings

Rochester's RootsCollider and their brand of "livetronica" and "dubcore" will hit the stage at Mr. Goodbar tonight at 11 p.m., when they will open for the funky jams of the Twin City Kings. RootsCollider's name comes from the idea that they fuse a host of what they call "roots" genres - reggae, dub, drum & bass, dubstep, electro-rock, and funk. Their song "Akuma," streaming below, is a good example of the dance craziness they can throw down regularly. The Twin City Kings are a young band out of - you guessed it, the Tonawandas - and their vibe is an original take on Hendrix and the like. Admission is $3.
