Herd Fest 2015: Day 2

June 24, 2015

Herd Fest 2015 officially kicked into its second gear last Friday night with three loaded showcases littered over Allentown. First off, though, long time local photog, Michael Mulley, opened up his “People That Rock” exhibit over at Sugar City on Niagara St.. The 20 + years in the making gallery featured photos of Henry Rollins, David Bowie, Social Distortion, and more. Later on that night, Nietzsche’s, Duke’s and Hardware were taken over by showcases from Harvest Sum, Deep Thinka Records, and the Cool Dad crew, respectively. Our festival photographer, Candace Camuglia, was once again deep into all of the action. Check out some select shots from the night below, and for a full gallery of Day 2, visit the festival’s facebook page.

Cool Dad Records

June 19, 2015

The Cool Dad Records crew takes over Allen Street Hardware tonight for Herd Fest, uniting and presenting as the punny and well-played Rave Matthews Band. Members of Cool Dad Records gather as a collective of friends, music fiends, and artists. Comprised by Eyes Everywhere (Brian Doyle and Kyle Tatum), Nick States, and Alex Morrison, each have curated and established his own sound through productions and sets. The crew has thrown parties and BBQs in off the grid spots and have helped further expose Buffalo by booking artists like Doug English, Ross Regs, ADMN, and Pearson Sound. If you didn’t go to the Cool Dad County Fair last month at Glow Gallery, you missed an outdoor patio party that was fueled by a crawfish boil, fresh squeezed juices and the enticing sounds of Detroit. Tonight, the fellas will be bringing in special guest Colin Boardway, a Buffalo native who has been[...]

Tonight: Pearson Sound

May 17, 2014

Part two of Club Phenomenology will stir up Buffalo tonight. It’s subtitle? “The Grid.” Put on by Sean Feiner and Nick States of Infinite Zone Productions, in addition to their other crew Cool Dad Records, which additionally comprises Kyle Tatum and Brian Doyle of Eyes Everywhere and Alex Morrison, the tight-knit group is out to bring an aspect of music that is not new to the dance scene. Rather, they’re out to enhance it further, and explore the opportunities. Headliner Pearson Sound, a UK producer and DJ, will take the stage at Buffalo Iron Works. Originally, this event was planned to be at The Wastelands (located at 700 Main St.) but due to unfortunate – and uncertain – circumstances, that venue closed. Execution of the event was shaky, but only momentarily. In the same day that it was “cancelled,” it was announced to be back on and taking place at Iron Works,[...]
