Punkfest 2007 @ Club Diablo!

No, punk isn't dead. It's not even twitching in it's Doc Martens. And if you're one of the people who misses styling your hair with wood glue and regularly bought out the safety pin supply at the local craft store, have we got a show for you!
Jesse Zuefle and Club Diablo are bringing Punkfest 2007 to Club Diablo. Not three, not five, but ten bands will play beginning at 6 PM to a 16-and-over crowd, proving that some people still like to get their thrash on in realtime instead of Grand Theft Auto #478. You can expect songs like the Wheezing Stumblers' "Run, Fight, F&(*#$", and the Snot Rocket's "I Hate Punk Rock Girls", a charming little anthem with the classic fast beat, three chords, and ironic lyrics to scream along with. What's not to love?
C'mon, admit it -- somewhere in the back of your closet is a leather jacket with a hand-painted band logo or a denim jacket with no sleeves and a safety-pinned t-shirt cut out. Don't worry, you're not alone, so embrace insanity of it all, and give in to the mosh pit. Or, just let the kids get good and tired out while you go check out Pirates of the Carribbean 3.
Saturday, May 26, 6 PM $7, 16+ w/ID Club Diablo 517 Washington, 14203, 842.0666

Though it may only be the fifth time since 1992 that the Albright-Knox Art Galley has increased its admission rate, the higher fee speaks to the changing face of our society and economy. To keep the gallery in good financial health, it is necessary to increase the price of a regular adult admission ticket from $10 up to $12. The new price will go into effect on January 1st 2009.
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 …
