Tonight: Halloween Hits Amherst St.


Tonight, prepare for a multi-media extravaganza as 464 Gallery, Black Rock Kitchen & Bar, Casey's Tavern, & Rohall's Corner team up to bring you a lively evening. Coined as the Amherst Street Seance, hosted by Magic Hat Brewing Company, the souls will first be called to 464 Gallery at 6 p.m for Monster 3.0, featuring a two-floor art exhibit with multiple local artists, a themed art installation, and DJ sets by 222 Oceans, Armageddon Party, Cloud 11, and DJ Spruke. Installation artist Keith Harrington (also known as Projex) will be projecting a piece from Christina Laing and live indoor painting by Thomas Webb. And if you were dying to have a tarot card reading, oral reading, or the like, Sage Psychic readings will be available for $10. They're having a costume contest too, so be sure to dress fly and you might receive $100 gift certificate!

Further on in the night the real seance will begin at Black Rock Kitchen, ignited by the 12/8 Path Band, who will begin playing at 10:30 p.m. and roam down the street toward Rohall's Corner, blitz through Casey's Tavern, and ramble on back to 464 Gallery and BRK for a final set! This is sure to be a free-flowing event for those wanderers out there who enjoy a little breathing room. OH, and no cover, too! Shazam.

Tonight: Mallwalkers Record Release Show


I think something that sometimes gets lost in Buffalo's music scene is the art of band/show promotion. Creating an event page a day or two before a show isn't going to help; you have to put in some effort. Mallwalkers gets that. An eye catching show poster (see above) and two excellent music videos directed by a few of Sugar City's "Sugar Citizens" make a difference in building hype. Local shows don't always have buzz around them, but tonight's record release show at the Polish Library (612 Fillmore Ave) has people excited. 

Making a great record like Shake The Rust Off, released on local label Peterwalkee Records, doesn't hurt either. Mallwalkers is Buffalo's answer to King Khan & the Shrines:  a massive party band that manages to successfully blend rust belt grime with soulful funk. Plus, what other band in Buffalo has their very own "dance floor justice?" 

Joining the gang of Mallwalkers to celebrate their record release are local friends and fellow ice cream enthusiasts JOHNS, upstate power poppers Kitty Little, and 12/8 Path Band, a marching band that appears to have been plucked right out of New Orleans and dropped into our city. Tonight's show begins at the very pleasant time of 7pm, and considering some of the other options going on in the Buffalo area this evening, that $6 cover is prob the best bang for you buck.
