The Drum Machine Report

The pulse of the Buffalo music scene is palpitating at present. Schools are finishing up their semesters, and Summer concert season is rapidly approaching. That means many middle aged deuchebags in golf knits will be ignoring whatever washed-up acts Buffalo Place gets for their concert series as they sip Blues and flirt with their interns in the sunshine. That also means the recycling of the college aged crowd. Good riddance downstate haters. And welcome home Buffalo natives with a new outside perspective on life. Bollocks! How is any of this significant to the the Buffalo Music scene erupting? Well it's not, if you live in Buffalo, like cool music, and have a grasp of what's currently going on here. For those in the know this has already been a years worth of amazing shows, national tours and local shows. And the "Summer concert season" will have even more to offer the cool kids of the city. It's starts off with truck of airhorns exploding on Memorial Day weekend; a legend, a block party, and a boat party in consecutive days that weekend to heat things up for the unofficial start of Buffalo Summer. Check back next week for a full preview of the events. 


If you like Electronic and Dance music of various genres, check out the events going on this weekend below:


thursday 5/17
PROPER VILLAINS
10p-4a
$5/21+ $8/18+
BIG BAD WOLF
252 delaware ave. Buffalo, NY
Jump-up! Jump-up! Get ready, tonight the party is at the BBW featuring NYC Dubstep/Drumstep Producer PROPER VILLAINS. To say that he is just that would be pigeonholing this well-rounded producer. If you're looking to party tonight, hit it up. Also on the bill are DJ VAST(Tor) with MCs A2 and ZEE, along with local DJs BERETTA, TEMPERS ROUGE, E-MISSION, and BETA.




saturday 5/19
igloo music
10p-4a
21+
DBGB's
253 allen st. Buffalo, NY
FLEX truly is a veteran of the East Coast Electronic and Dance music scene. Based out of Rochester, he has been playing the occasional show in Buffalo for many many years. I was fortunate enough to check him out at the Wastelands back in the November of last year, and I am excited to see him in a more active environment at DBGB's where there will be a bigger crowd and people will be more ready to dance their asses off on a Saturday night. Also on the bill are BRANDON CHASE, PAUL KUENZI, CHRISTIAN DHARMA, and ILL BILLY



the dnb monthly
10p-4a
$5/21+
BIG BAD WOLF
252 allen st. Buffalo, NY
A little different start to the night for The DnB Monthly, with some different styles of Bass before the Drum and Bass. Kicking things off will be PAPI CHULO of RipRoc (Rochester) and MARIO BEE. I overheard a set of Papi Chulo's last week and I have to say, the guy is an incredible DJ. He integrates so much unexpected music into his set and it always works with his thematic flow. After those two, BERETTA, NECKBRACE, and LOKI will bust out the DnB and Dubstep. Happy Trails.


The Drum Machine report will be jam-packed next weekend, so be sure to check out what we've already hinted at on-tap for next week. Much Love.

    Hi James:

    Thanks for the kind words, I'm looking forward to Djing tonight in Buffalo as well. Should be a fun time by all and hopefully the crowd will enjoy the music :-)
