SAMPLE
242 Allen St. Buffalo, NY
Sample Restaurant is moving to Hertel Ave. next month, so sadly this will be the closing night of Culture which was held every first Friday. This party became a family affair; the atmosphere was welcoming and festive. The final installment will feature music from the TRAKBENDERS and individual sets from the two.

LUX
75 W.Chippewa St. Buffalo, NY
LA based DJ and producer DJ DAN invades Lux tomorrow night. DJ Dan is a true American hero, er DJ. Last year at this time he had 4 tracks listed on the Beatport top 100. Influenced by many arms of electronic and dance music, DJ Dan is a prodding explorer that has true experience instilling life into a dancefloor.

Saturday 3/2

Perhaps the best is yet to come. 2013 will be hard pressed to top last year in the number of great shows and events happening in Buffalo.  There is a bleak outlook for what has been announced. Many spring tours that were announced already left Buffalo out of the loop. We'll see. Things seem to work out. Buffalo will continue to trend upward both musically and artistically.

This weekend getting down on the dance floor will not be difficult. Check out these two cool events going on Friday night.

DUKE'S BOHEMIAN GROVE BAR
253 Allen St. Buffalo, NY
Frosty Tone and Duke's bring you DIRECT FEED tomorrow night. Known by many aliases David Houser has channeled all of his work as a DJ/Producer into Direct Feed. He plays music like Ragga-Jungle and Electro, and he is certainly no stranger to Dubstep. Check out the mix below containing a variety of genres. Many local supporting DJs on the bill, but most notably BETA and BROTHER BEAR both making their return to a Frosty Tone bill.



It may be a new year, but there's more of the same great stuff coming from Culture. Happening on the First Friday of every month, Culture is a party that combines the appreciation of visual art along with the entertainment of music! This week will feature the art of 464 Gallery artists, Marcus Wise and Ryan Mis. Also this is the first weekend that the show Culture will be a stop on the Greater Allentown First Fridays Gallery Walk. This installment of Culture will have music played by BFLO LYDIA, THE OWSKI, and TRAKBENDERS. All of whom will be playing on all vinyl!!! So if you'd rather be all in for some house music come and check out culture.

It helps a little that these two parties are directly across the street from each other. If you like a little flavor from both, it will be easy to hop from joint to joint. Much love.

While the pragmatists are busy debunking the Mayan prophecy and rumors of the world ending in 15 days, NASA rover Curiosity is busy discovering organic molecules on Mars and controverting their findings as proof of life. My world already ended several months ago when the NHL and NHLPA decided to strangle the life out of fans of Ice Hockey. At the very least NASA could tell us about what they're really finding in those canyons-a Martian nightclub! No way!

Alas the world will not end on that fated approaching day, but that's not to say the world-as-we-know-it won't.

In the mean time we can anticipate and enjoy what's to come with what is really important in life, music!
