Every year Buffalonians look forward to The BaZoinker Ball. This year the ball is being held at The Hamlin House, and some are saying that this the halloween party that you don’t want to miss. After all, it is called The BaZoinker Ball (that should tell you something), and that party will be jam packed with all sorts of festive fall suds and sounds that you might not normally expect from your average halloween party. First of all, The Hamlin House (1865 Italianate mansion) can come off as a bit spooky due to its historic nature. Then you have Allentown – the side streets in Allentown lend themselves to being quite Salem-esque around Halloween. So you have a creepy mansion situated in a spooky neighborhood… but this isn’t the horror scene that you might expect.
On top of a massive costume party held in the ballroom, free beer and food with price of admission and VJ horror projections, there is an additional twist to this night of mayhem. The band RHUBARB will be playing a rare deep B-side disco set complete with horn section and Brooklyn’s pop/electro drum and base duo Hank and Cupcakes (Hailed by MTV for their “Fresh new sound” and Huffington Post as one of the “15 Musical Acts to Break in 2011”) is scheduled to take the mansion by storm. Throw in sets by DJ JOE URGE (disco/funk) & DJ BONES (special 90’s set) and you’ve got a well-rounded costumed dance explosion brought to you by our friends at MNM Productions.
