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.




Today: IndieSound Music Festival


After a successful inaugural campaign last year in the Allen Town,  the IndieSound Music Festival will return this afternoon.  Co-curated by Buffalo First! and the Good Neighborhood, the festival will move slightly uptown north to the Grant/Amherst Street area in the Black Rock neighborhood.  Like last year, the festival will pair local music acts with local shops, galleries, restaurants, and more in order to promote both the rich music scene in the area, but also the diverse businesses.  Music acts will include Wooden Waves/A Hotel Nourishing/Lazlo Hollyfeld member Sonny Baker, The Screaming Jeans, Son of the Sun's Zak Ward, and many more.  Music runs from 12:00pm - 5:00pm, and with the exception of one show at the Sportsmen's Tavern, all performances are free.  Following the five hours of free music, an IndieSound final will run from 5:00pm - 8:00pm at Rohall's for $5.  For a complete listing of band/business pairings, click here for the handy complete schedule or here for an even handier map.
