Indie Fest @ Nietzsches

Leave it to Nietzsches to back up the indie bands!
This quarterly showcase will bring together some of Buffalo's best independent bands along with their most appreciative fans in a non-stop evening of music. Featured bands will include Red Tag Rummage Sale, La Cacahouette, Needle Up!, A Hotel Nourishing, Brian Wheat, Displaced and from San Francisco, LoveLikeFire.
They're described as "the best bands that are genuine road warriors, releasing cd's themselves or through small labels and supporting the DIY ethic." Nietzsches (et al) says, "We have no large organization to back us up and rely on YOU, the audience, to make this event successful."

The director of the gallery, Louis Grachos, has said that due to higher costs in all areas of the gall …
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. "I wanted an indie rock sound, something that my generation can click wit …
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 …
What could be more perfect to spread the news about local artists at the Buffalo Indie Market than a literary magazine that features works from local artists? NOMAD is a new magazine set to debut in January 2009 that will feature writers, poets, photographers, artists, and designers from the area. Erica Eichelkraut, a freelance photographer, created NOMAD and is bringing it to the public. Since Eichelkraut is a part of the Buffalo Indie Market, it wasn’t long before a collaborat …

I think it's great. It's been to long not to enjoy some good local music. My brother was in a band called Leon and the Forklifts a few years back. Maybe some of you have heard of them? Hopefully they'll do something together in the near future.
