Final Lineup For Rockin' At The Knox 2008
Though you can see the flashing advertisement on our website every day, just incase you aren’t quite paying attention and to keep you up-to-date, the Knox recently released the final lineup of performers who will be at the gallery for Rockin’ At The Knox 2008 on September 27th.
Obviously most people are aware that The B52s and Metric will be at the event. However, maybe you don’t know that the event is on two stages outside and one inside and that they’ve added some more musicians, including some local bands. Ben Lee, an actor and ARIA award winner will be performing as well as Tiny Masters of Today, an indie punk rock band. Also performing will be Robby Takac’s pioneering collective Amungus, Besnyno, and The Pillagers.
Trying to include something for everyone, the Knox will also be hosting a jazz performance that will take place in the gallery’s Sculpture Garden. The Other Side headlines the event. The trio features Kelly Bucheger on the sax, John Werick on the contrabass, and the gallery’s own Chief Curator, Douglas Dreishpoon, on the drums.
Performances kick off at 5 PM and the gallery will be open to explore to all ticket holders. You’ll be able to rock out and check out some amazing exhibitions including a photography exhibit Remix: Inner Space and Op-Art Revisited. The Collector’s Gallery will also be featuring the work of Mark Freeland.
Tickets are $40 in advance, available at here, at all Ticketmaster outlets including Macy’s Department Stores, at the gallery’s admissions desk, or by calling 852-5000. Day of the tickets are $45 and all tickets are standing room only. The Knox does have accessible accommodations for guests with disabilities.

What started with the father has continued with the son. Griffis III’s work is starting to appear in spots in Buffalo and now, to see one of his works, you need look no further than Forest Lawn Chapel.

So Long Elmwood, Hello University District
Ever since the Falafel Bar opened on Allen Street, it was only a matter of time before the Elmwood location was no longer for this world. I spoke to owner, Oded Rauvenpoor, who told me that the decision to close came when he was at a crossroads. He found himself happy with his Allentown diggs, but began eying another part of the city for the Elmwood restaurant. In the end, Oded decided that he wanted to try his hand in the University District (3476 Main Street). I guess there was … - Yesterday, 8:41pm

Damn, be nice if someone could book another Tiny Masters gig while they are in the area for those of us who have no interest in any of the other bands on the bill.

Damn, be nice if someone would realize that we liked the former event (perhaps erronously called Rockin' at the Knox) where some of the best local dance bands and a few bar and refreshment stations were scattered throughout the gallery for dancing, etc. About 1,500- 2,000 seemed to have a good time during those former events. Please give us back that event! (You can keep the name.)
Some of us prefer to get a seat (or at least have a place to sit down after a while), parking infrastructure, a roof over our heads, real bathrooms [are you with me ladies?], etc. for a ticketed concert-type music event.
Standing for hours on asphalt with beer cups crushed and laying about and standing in line for the porta-potty is not an improvement over the former event.
Oh- and enjoying the art in the gallery along with the music was an added bonus.

Is that the same Ben Lee that made "Grampa Would" when he was like, 14 years old? It was a pretty good album.
