Babik Releases Second CD
CD release parties don’t come but once every few years per band, and if you miss one, you might have to wait awhile for the next. Back in 2006, Babik held a sold-out CD release party at the Tralf Music Hall and their CD quickly became a #1 best-seller in the Buffalo area. For those who missed the chance to help the band debut their latest creation, that opportunity has come around again, and this time, try not to miss out.
Their second CD, American Gypsy, is their first one that was recorded entirely in the studio. It features thirteen tracks of the gypsy jazz band, many of which were written by the band members. Quite a number of the tracks on the CD have never been performed live and that will be the biggest draw to the CD release party – the chance to hear it for the first time live and in-person.
Babik isn’t one to disappoint. Though they’ll be playing all of the songs on their new CD, they’ll also be playing plenty of old favorites too. Even more exciting will be all the artists joining them on stage, including: Bulgarian-born International Accordion Champion, Vladimir Mollov; virtuoso clarinetist, Brian Bauer; percussionist, Dave Phillips; and vocalist, Heather Hodso.
If you can manage to get a presale ticket before the show on October 18th, it will cost you $20, but if you can’t, it’s only 3 dollars more the day of. Tickets are available at the Tralf Box Office or by calling 852-5000 or from Ticketmaster. The show kicks off at 8 PM and the doors open at 7 PM. As an added bonus, not only will the new CD be available for purchase, but there will also be signed posters, DVD’s, and t-shirts for sale.

Rock and Roll Theatre
French satire from the 1600's feels like falling asleep in high school english class. But classic French satire with a rock and roll band? That sounds better. We can thank Andy Liegl for this bold modernity on December 26th when his production of Such Foolish Affected Ladies opens at the Alt Theatre. The original play calls for violinists but this role has been liberally opened up to local band The Nepenthe.

A Souvenir From Alleyway Theatre
It’s funny how history seems to repeat itself. Florence Foster Jenkins was in the elite member of society, but terribly eccentric and utterly convinced that she was a great coloratura soprano – despite the fact that she couldn’t carry a tune for even a few notes. She even managed to hold a sold out concert, even though she couldn’t sing! Sound familiar? Remember William Hung?
Jenkins’ story happened over 50 years ago. She would hold annual recitals in the Ritz Carlton h … - Dec 18th 2008, 6:51am
