Calendar Spotlight

Super 400

Power trio Super 400 comes to Nietzsche’s on Friday (Oct. 5), off a European tour and a couple of gigs in Colorado opening for Rose Hill Drive. The upstate New York band—Troy, NY, to be exact—consists of singer/guitarist Kenny Hohman, bassist Lori Friday and drummer Joe Daley, playing classic-style rock-n-roll on songs like “Blast the Message”—which is exactly what they do. Voted “Best Rock Band” by Metroland (“The Capitol Region’s Alternative Newsweekly) in a 2007 reader’s poll, Super 400 has already conquered their hometown and beyond. Winning over a hard rockin’ Buffalonian fan-base should be a cinch. The show starts at 10pm.

JP Losman is sacked. AV correspondent Dave Staba reports…

posted December 2, 11:16 am on Artvoice Daily

JP Losman is sacked. AV correspondent Dave Staba reports on Sunday’s loss from the cheap seats at Ralph Wilson Stadium: Trent Edwards rolled to his right. And he rolled to his right. And then he rolled some more. Finally, a moment before he would have run completely off the field, Buffalo’s quarterback flung the ball towards his intended receiver, who was evidently sitting in a third-row seat near the southerly corner at the tunnel end of Ralph Wilson Stadium...

On the Waterfront

posted November 26, 2:00 pm on Artvoice Daily

So you think Buffalo has a hard time figuring out what to do with its waterfront, do ya? Mad that we can’t just build a signature bridge, huh? Madder still that we can’t just knock the Skyway bridge down? Furious with obstructionists who don’t want a Bass Pro Shop? Livid about the ice boom? And don’t even get you started about all the blind, misguided fools who can’t see that a huge casino downtown will turn our city around? Yes, my friend, you do in fact have all the answers... (more)

Another Voice

posted November 26, 10:11 am on Artvoice Daily

Here’s something that drives me crazy about the Buffalo News: the “Another Voice” column on the editorial page. It would be a nice idea, except that so often it is not given over to “another” voice. It is given, rather, to the same old voices: to people who are frequently quoted as sources in articles, who are in positions of political or economic power, to folks whose job is to push agendas—to people, in other words, who have no difficulty making their voices heard...

Paint the Town
