Now in its 33rd year, the annual Buffalo International Jewish Film Festival is this area’s most reliable annual presentation of quality world cinema. This year’s selection includes 12 films over the course of one week, most screened twice. The movies were produced in whole or part in countries as diverse as Denmark, Hungary, Sweden, Poland, Austria, Israel, and the United States.
[ROCK] Buffalo music stalwart Rob Falgiano will drop a solo acoustic set on the front stage at Nietzsche’s on Saturday, March 10. Expect an eclectic mix of rock, R&B, and funk from the locally-based singer/songwriter.
[PUNK] After a few albums, some bands lose sight of how important a good producer is in the studio. Screaming Females have never lost that focus. In 2012, the band worked with iconic producer Steve Albini to craft 2012’s Ugly and in 2015 with Minus the Bear’s Matt Bayles on Rose Mountain. Those, their fifth and sixth albums on Don Giovanni Records, solidified them as a force in indie punk music.
[POP] When The Public interviewed pop artist K Flay in March of last year, she told us that her most recent single at the time, “Blood in the Cut” was written in her mom’s basement in about 30 minutes. Since then that song was nominated for a Grammy for Best Rock Song and the young artist has toured with huge pop artists like Imagine Dragons. It’s safe to say that K Flay is bound for ever greater things.
[ELECTRONIC/DANCE] The monthly techno party, Pyramid, has a solid night planned for their next installment, this Saturday, March 10 at Gypsy Parlor. New York City-based tech house DJ Christina Crossin will ship in for a late night set at the West Side venue. Formerly known as Chris Cross, the DJ has slowly but surely made her way up the ranks, delivering deep, bassy vibes at venues mostly in her home base in New York City at venues like Output and Verboten.
