Death of a Noble Truth
My first encounter with Chae Hawk, a/k/a Noble Truth, was at an unspeakable hour of the morning outside a venerable alcohol delivery station in the Allentown district. While everyone else was relaxing and winding down, Chae Hawk and dj.dstar were quietly working the crowd with flyers, talking to everyone there about their upcoming show. I knew it to be the sign of a dedicated musician, who is not just in it for the glory or the girls, but really believes in the project and what they have to say. Noble Truth has been a fine example of this ethic, at an especially young age, which speaks to a long and fruitful career to come.
In fine, grand tradition, he's retiring his stage moniker, Noble Truth, and returning to Chae Hawk. The ceremony, "Death of a Noble Truth", will be held at Soundlab on Saturday night. Fittingly, he's reitiring the name at its peak, having just won an Artvoice Best of Buffalo award for the Best Hip Hop act. He's also made an appearance on Robbie Takac's new project, Amungus, to be released this summer.
The seamless grooves of Chae Hawk and dj.dstar bring hip hop back to its roots, always managing to astonish with the belnd of old-school and modern tracks and lyrics that lift. Don't miss the Death of a Noble Truth, and keep your eye on these rising stars. For more detail, see their Video EPK below.
Saturday, May 5, 9 PM Soundlab 110 Pearl Street, 14202

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
