[ROCK] Josh Flagg and his band have followed the shimmering, power-pop gems of their debut, Devastate Me, with a hearty helping of stinging rock songs on their recent EP, Lights Out. With a thick and powerful rhythm section, a clean balance of dueling guitars, and Flagg’s soaring vocals, each song is sharply constructed, boding well for their full-length release this fall.
[FUN] The Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station will host the 2015 Thunder of Niagara Air Show on Saturday, July 18 and Sunday, July 19. The event will feature the United States Air Force Thunderbirds aerial demonstration team, as well as several military and civilian aerobatic performers, static displays, and more.
The good news is that despite what sounds like a similar plot—a man gets a second chance at life in a new body—this is not a remake of the 1966 classic Seconds, in which a business exeutive gets to start a new life as Rock Hudson. That’s good news only for fans of the John Frankenheimer film, who don’t have to suffer through what would inevitably be a poor imitation.
I’ve lived in western New York for almost fifteen years — all of them in the Northtowns. I have visited the Eastern Hills Mall countless times — mostly to pick up something quick that wasn’t worth a trip to another municipality. As land values surrounding that mall have gone up and people have moved into East Amherst, Williamsville, and Clarence, I’ve waited for someone to invest some money into that place and make it at least nice.
[EDUCATIONAL] If you find yourself intrigued by solar energy and solar power but don’t know much about it, PUSH Buffalo, The Wash Project, and Ujima Theater would like to help answer your questions. On Saturday, July 11, PUSH Buffalo will launch Solar Jam, an event that aims to commemorate the launch of the new Solar Program at the Massachusetts Avenue Park, as well as educate people on the possibilities of solar energy.
