Tonight: Artvoice Presents Night Shift

October 24, 2014

Get ready to sweat. Artvoice is hosting another installment of its  Night Shift tonight. And for those who don’t know, Night Shift is (usually) a series of dance escapades in the back room of Hardware, showcasing the most up and coming DJs native to Buffalo/WNY. Summoned this time around is Stuntman, Mario Bee, and Jolly Wailer. And if that hasn’t caught your ear, know that they’ll be channeling the hard rhythms through the most beefy sound system the venue has seen up to date. Crystalline deep end? Check. Premier lineup? Check. Dance yourself clean this evening. The music begins at 11pm, $5 to get in.

May 23, 2014

Earlier this year, the indie-electronic duo Like A Parrot was victorious in early round campaigning of Artvoice’s B.O.O.M. (Battle Of Original Music) tournament, and tonight, they’ll be trying to advance once again, as B.O.O.M. hits Nietzsche’s tonight at 9pm.
