Nullstadt
by K. O'Day
To many Buffalonians a Nullstadt reunion is a major event, bringing back together some of the driving talents behind the local music scene from the 1980s to the present. Original Nullstadt members (circa 15 years ago) Darren Burns, Greg Gizzi, David Kane, Don Kinsman and Kent Weber will play tonight (Thursday, May 17) at Hallwalls, in conjunction with a reading/book launch by Mark Nowak. Nowak is the author of “Music and Death in Zero City, 1982-1984,” an essay in the forthcoming anthology Goth: Undead Subculture, soon to be published by Duke University Press. Nullstadt, which translates as “zero city” in German, reached its peak at the now defunct Continental in the mid 1980s. Both the band and the club are the focus of Nowak’s essay, representing the cultural climate in post-industrial Buffalo during that time. This music/literary event begins at 7:30pm, and the $10 admission fee will be refunded with a purchase of Goth
