An incredible amount of attention is merited for the artists in Buffalo. Musicians, Painters, Visual Artists, Dancers, Poets and everyone contained in creative processes are pushing the conventions of their established arts. The hotbed of artistic behavior that Buffalo has become has offered such freedom of expression.
The theme of this post will be mediums of artistry converging. Which is exactly what is being promulgated in Dances and Parties around town. Two showcases are to be held on Friday night of this nature. Sunday offers the best bi-annual party in Buffalo, the Capsized! boat aboard the Miss Buffalo II, for more info see below.

ALLEN ST. HARDWARE

In the same vain and a little more streetwise in theme will be another SPOOKY BUSINESS showcase in the back of Hardware, but really its all of the Bar/Restaurant as DJ CUTLER will join the party by spinning in the front room. Check out some really cool street/underground artworks by MALT DISNEY, IAN IDEAL, and MIKE EXCEL. If MD has some of his Visual Media Artworks there i'll be very excited as his talents are on another level right now. This party will be a blast.

MISS BUFFALO II
erie basin marina, Buffalo, NY
The plan on Labor Day Monday is usually sitting around all day recovering from celebrations. To reinforce this idea make sure to get tickets and get on the boat! The CAPSIZED! danceparty boat cruise that is. For over seven years, MNM Presents has gathered up many of Buffalo's best and brightest dance music aficionados and congregated them all at this floating ragefest. This party is always fun, there's no getting around it, or off the boat once it pulls slowly out of the harbor, and the heavy house beat begins to pound off of the water. Past installments have featured some really popular artists and some that gained in popularity afterwards. This run will call THE JUNKIES down from Toronto. Two DJs I was unfamiliar with until recently, but they have been doing some cool stuff on the label Sci+Tec recently like performing in Barcelona for the East Ender festival. Check out the video below from Footwork Nightclub in Toronto, one of my favorite clubs in TDot. The Junkies real names are super Italiano, and since I love stereo-types I'll add that they're probably damn good house DJs. Also for those in attendance there will be an afterparty for which you can gain FREE admittance only with a boat ticket held at Duke's Bohemian Grove Bar 253 allen st. Buffalo, NY. Find the information about that party HERE.
See you all on the boat, unless you miss it! Much Love.
