The Next Big Thing?
It's been a busy year for the guys in COLORSINTHEAIR. After forming in 2005 at SUNY Fredonia, CITA has been on the run from the start, and the horizon is miles away. Their sound brings to mind Coldplay and Jimmy Eats World having a love child, with the Foo Fighters playing the antagonizing older brother. Honest lyrics and beautiful arrangements add to to moving and captivating stage presence that gives the audience a show worth listening and watching, rather than merely being a visual CD player.
After the 2006 release of the "Montreal EP", their sound caught the ear of the wacky folks at The Workshop Group, whose penchant for keeping their studio hidden remains a fun mystery (word has it everyone is blindfolded before traveling there). The Workshop Group immediately signed the band after only a few listens, sensing something special. After months in the studio, COLORSINTHEAIR has recorded their appropriately named debut full-length "On The Inside". With raw lyrics and dynamic melodies to tickle the ear drums, COLORSINTHEAIR is primed to be Buffalo's next young, breakthrough band.
COLORSINTHEAIR takes the stage Saturday, May 12th at Mohawk Place for their CD Release show featuring an All-Star local lineup, with support coming from The Common Kings, Mandy K., and recent Artvoice's "best hip-hop act in Buffalo" Chae Hawk. Tickets are $12 presale/$15 at the door and include COLORSINTHEAIR debut full-length recording "On The Inside". Tickets available at Tickets.com and all Tops Friendly Markets.
Saturday, May 12, Door at 6 PM, Show at 7 PM $12/$15 (includes CITA debut full-length CD) Mohawk Place 47 E. Mohawk, 14203

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. "I wanted an indie rock sound, something that my generation can click wit … - Dec 18th 2008, 7:25am

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
