Dub Trio Rocks Nietzche's

There are a lot of interesting bands that play at Nietzsche’s, but not many have a background like Dub Trio. Dub Trio tours all over the world and was even on Late Night With Conan O’Brian last year. Their main shtick is the dub technique, but with flavors of reggae, metal, hip-hop, and punk blended in for a smooth sound that is genre bending and full of force. What makes this band unique is that they’ve toured with Gogol Bordello, Clutch, and Helmet, but they’ve also done session music for 50 Cent, Mos Def, Common, the Fugees, Tupac, and Matisyahu. Their talent is nearly unmatched and their technical dub and bass grooves get matched with amazing guitar riffs for an original, intense sound.
The band consists of drummer Joe Tomino, bassist Stu Brooks, and guitarist D.P. Holmes. These three seasoned pros have just released their latest album “Another Sound Is Dying.” If you make it out to Nietzsche’s this Saturday, November 15th at 10 PM and like what you hear, you can find out more about purchasing that album at their website. If you want to preview their sound before heading out to the bar this weekend, visit their MySpace for a taste of what you can expect. Cover is $10 but Dub Trio will be joined by Steve Bazckowski and Ravi doing a jazz-metal kind of style, so it should make the cover well worth it. Learn more about upcoming Nietzsche’s events here.

Caroline Kennedy was in town for a visit with our mayor yesterday. A possible choice to succeed US Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, Kennedy's name has been mentioned along with that of Attorney General Andrew Cuomo (son of former New York Governor Mario Cuomo) and our own Byron Brown, among others.
Certainly, Kennedy has "been around politics" all of her life, which is to say she was born into a family of politicos and lived in the White House--neither of which would necessarily f …
Free light rail rides on downtown's above ground section could be derailed thanks to the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority's budget mess. That is the news coming out of a Buffalo Place meeting this morning. Facing a budget shortfall and reduced State operating assistance, the NFTA is scrambling for new revenue sources and is contemplating charging for rides along the lengthy downtown pedestrian mall.
Well it is Christmas time in the city and the NFTA helped put people and especially children into the mood in a very festive and fun way. One of my favorite memories of childhood was taking the train downtown with my grandfather. I would gaze out the windows and watch the tunnel speed by. It always felt like we were going a million miles an hour.
Then there was the ability to stand up and walk around during the ride without the need to be strapped down. It was always a fun time …
