DUKE'S BOHEMIAN GROVE BAR
253 Allen St. Buffalo, NY
Wha gwan Saturday night? Classic style Drum N Bass Music featuring MISTANOIZE at Duke's.  Along with his performance skills Mistanoize is also the founder of Turntable Pimp, a customization and repair company for DJ equipment. Saturday will focus on turntablism in the world of DnB and Bass music. Most of the music I believe will be all-vinyl sets with supporting performances from some popular acts, including BIG BASHA, HOOGS, EMJAY BIGGZ and emerging artist JON ALL DAY.

The Drum Machine Report

While the pragmatists are busy debunking the Mayan prophecy and rumors of the world ending in 15 days, NASA rover Curiosity is busy discovering organic molecules on Mars and controverting their findings as proof of life. My world already ended several months ago when the NHL and NHLPA decided to strangle the life out of fans of Ice Hockey. At the very least NASA could tell us about what they're really finding in those canyons-a Martian nightclub! No way!

Alas the world will not end on that fated approaching day, but that's not to say the world-as-we-know-it won't.

In the mean time we can anticipate and enjoy what's to come with what is really important in life, music!

friday 12/7
9p-4a
$20-25/18+
DINGEN'S BAR AND GRILL
601 dingens st. Buffalo, NY
It's goin' down at Dingen's on Friday night as Frosty Tone presents CALYX & TEBEE. These two DNB producers have been dubbed game changers and have recently been the subject of praise for their recent LP release All or Nothing which debuted last month in the US. Check out the Soundcloud widget from the RAM Records page to stream the tracks below. An advantage to all, the party tomorrow will have two rooms and feature many local and regional DJs. Most importantly the sound in the main room will be top-notch and deep. If you choose not to make the trek out to the edges of Cheektowaga, you may regret what promises to be a gnarly party.

11p-3a

242 allen st. Buffalo, NY
If DNB isn't your bag, and you're in the Allentown area hit up Sample for some Culture! Art and Music are in synergy at this party. This month's artists feature Scott Southerland (Photo) and The Artists of Starlight Studios (Curated by Parrish Gibbons). Music from GENE LINET, GREG HOWZE, ACTIVE8, and THE TRAKBENDERS.

BROADWAY JOE'S
3051 main st. Buffalo, NY
Head up to the heights on Saturday night for NOTIXX and EYES EVERYWHERE along with MCNASTY and NICKY STEEZ. This will be an affordable fun night of dancing if you can get up there.

There is no end for the forerunners. Forward on to dawn ye Decemberists. Much Love.

Today: buffaBLOG's Broadway Market Rooftop Extravaganza


In just a few hours, we will be throwing our 2nd installment of our Broadway Market Rooftop Extravaganza as part of the 2012 Buffalo Infringement Festival.  Not to toot our own horn or anything, but you would be hard to find a more unique venue for this year's festival than our rooftop party.  So come spend your afternoon with us, relaxing under the (hopeful) summer sun, listening to some of Buffalo's best local acts.  And if you are hungry, just walk down a couple flights to grab some of the amazing food in the market.

All week we have been introducing or reintroducing all of the acts that will be gracing the stage/roof today.  If you missed any of the artist spotlights, please take a moment to check them out below.

TrakBenders
Victory for Poland
Sleepy Hahas
Merchants
Handsome Jack
The Albrights

Remember, event is rain or shine.  If the weather does not cooperate with us this afternoon, we will move the party to the 2nd floor of the market.  If you are wondering where to park, you can drive right up to the roof, its huge.  Bring something to sit on unless you find the pavement rather comfortable.  And lastly, bring a few bucks for the artists.  All of them are doing this for free, but if a donation bucket is sent around, toss them a few.  It would be greatly appreciated.

Party runs from 1:00pm - 7:00pm.  No cover.  See you then.

buffaBLOG Broadway Market Rooftop Extravaganza Artist Spotlight: TrakBenders


This year for the Broadway Market Rooftop Extravaganza we got the bright idea to include local DJs in our lineup of live bands. It's worked for our past parties to keep the vibe going while the bands necessarily have to change over. We've got the perfect guys to do just that for what will hopefully be a sun-soaked afternoon of music and fun! TrakBenders are Dave Goldstein and Eric Fiebes, two Buffalo boys with a passion for House music. The two got together in early 2011 to form the duo, and they both have been spinning individually in Buffalo since 2002. They are adaptable when performing to galvanize the emotion of the crowd. They'll keep a good mix going of tunes that will provide the heartbeat for our afternoon, as they will play between each of the bands and then an extended set prior to the last band. Check our Facebook Event Page later this week for the full schedule with time-slots.



Check out the Mix they did for Queen City Cartel's Field Day 2012, it's perfect dance music for Summertime jamming.
