LISTEN TO: CHIDDY BANG & ANARBOR

While I was at SXSW this year I was introduced to and worked with up and coming MC/Producer duo Chiddy Bang at the Crush Management showcase. These guys are unequivocally one of the most talented twosomes I have ever witnessed live since I went to see Brian Boitano & Michelle Kwan tear it up together. These guys are going to be huge. They're EP that they are about to drop is wild. Props!

Additionally, friends of our's Anarbor recently released their latest album called "The Words You Don't Swallow". This has been on repeat all week. I strongly encourage you to check it out.

If you would like to check out more of the album on iTunes, here you go!

SPOOKY BUSINESS??

I know everyone is wondering what it is that we are talking about when we post about Spooky Business.

Well, Spooky Business is an experience that everyone should have as soon as possible.

Spooky is not a brand, a person, or an entity. It is nothing. In fact, we are still trying to figure out what it is to be exact. At this point, Spooky Business is the name of the party we have at The Pink in Buffalo on select dates. I consider Spooky to be a project that Dazzle started that oddly enough took off. Attendance is up and The Pink keeps inviting us back! Spooky Business is a gathering of great people, drinks, and music that we choose ourselves.

Free admission, Dazzle drink specials, and free Dazzle giveaways!

NEXT SPOOKY EVENT: TBA

However,

NEXT PERFORMANCE:

We WILL be DJing at The Pink on Saturday, June 12th from 2-10 pm during the Allentown Art Festival. Also, we will be DJing Sunday, June 13th from 9pm- close. Come have a drink with us! Going to be such a great weekend!

While we are talking about The Pink...I was asked to attend the Artvoice Best of Buffalo 2010 Awards by The Pink's owners. Had an incredible time there networking for Dazzle and The Pink ended up winning awards for both the Best Dive Bar & Best Hook Up Spot in Buffalo. Woo!

Check the award!

Random Photos
