Tonight: Prince vs. Bowie Dance Party

Tonight, Buffalo Infringement Fest 2017 honors two of the heroes we lost last year with an epic Prince vs. Bowie dance party at the Mohawk to raise money for beloved and embattled art space Dreamland. DJs Xotec and Bill Page will be kicking the most danceable jams from the Prince Rogers Nelson (1958-2016) and David Bowie (1947-2016) oeuvres, along with some secret performances in between sets throughout the night. The dance party will be dedicated to Buffalo artist and Infringement Fest supporter Jenny “Lovely” Keys, who passed away last month; and proceeds go to the still closed Dreamland, which was regrettably caught up in the bureaucratic justice this spring. Infringement, Dreamland, Bowie, Prince… they are all about expression, and about getting free. Tonight, get free for a worthy cause. Cover is $5 and doors open at 8pm.

This helps her music have it’s own alluring brand of dynamism, in that she can be gently whisper-singing one second, belting the next, and have it all dig at you in some intense way. This show is definitely a good one to check out, whether you haven’t made it out to any Infringement[...]
