Feature Friday 8.14.15

It’s a summertime BLOG PARTY! We’re rearranging the post to give our weekly featured DJ’s some greater exposure. Every week you’ll hear more from a local small business, artist, advocacy group, or non profit, and review the top six Instagrams from around the region.

We’re still linking up with The Public to tell the stories behind the photos too. So relish in your newly enriched Friday experience, and let this week’s featured small business, Mike and Mac from @buffablog, make your day!

We’ve put together a list of bands we’ve been playing in our office over the past month or so. You’ll find it’s ranged from obnoxious electro to cutesie mixtape jams to name indie acts. buffaBLOG’s tastes range all over the place, as long as it’s good.

Our next event will be the launch of our emo DJ series called Taking Back Saturday. Each showcase will include DJ sets from former and current players of Buffalo’s emo scene. The first, which features sets from former members of Cute Is What We Aim For, Mandy K, and In Motion, will take place at Milkie’s on Elmwood on Saturday, September 19th.
