*Ding Ding* Sounds the bell for another round of fun times this weekend here in the fair Queen City. The annual Music is Art Festival is on Saturday. This celebration of local music is a cornerstone event for showcasing some of Buffalo's best bred talent. Despite opinions of the event's organizational shortcomings, the music, in earnest, is the focal point of the festival. Music is Art reminds us of the artistic creativity that goes into the making and presenting of live music. There are plenty of acts that fall into the realm of Electronic and Dance, so definitely go and check out some of the acts that have worked incredibly hard for your entertainment.

Plenty of other shindigs are available this weekend for filling the desire to dance and party. Here are some of the highlights.

SLYBOOTS
350 ellicott st. Buffalo, NY
A little under-the-radar event happening tonight at the Slyboots HQ. Featuring DJ sets from DROP D, NOBEZ, and BIG BASHA and live sets from DOJO DOUGH and MASS BEATS.

saturday 9/14
10p-4a
$5/21+
SINFUL
334 delaware ave. Buffalo, NY
After Music is Art prepare to dance the night away at Sinful nightclub. Off the beaten path Sinful is kind of a welcome change if you're looking to get down at the club. Though every event there has to have loaded-in sound, the spaciousness and the newness of the place is a definitive advantage. This edition of EVOLve will feature RYLL and BOOTS BOOGIE coming down from Tdot along with PETER PIZZUTELLI, DAHA GREEN, and GREG HOWZE. Get ready to get wavy as this party will go late into the night and the beats will last all the way 'til the end.

sunday 9/15
