Rock For Hope
July 14th, 2012
Date: July 14th, 2012
Time: 9pm
Starting Location: Nietzsches Legendary Buffalo Music Hotspot
Goal: $3,000.00 to build a Children's Home in Kenya
Nietzsche’s has been a hotspot for Buffalo music for longer than many of its patrons may care to remember. What’s sometimes forgotten though is that Nietzsche’s has hosted more than a few benefit concerts over the years. The cause in question this time—i.e., Saturday (July 14)—is raising money for Hope for Hope and Littledrops, organizations that plan on building a sustainable children’s home in Nyahururu, Kenya where HIV/AIDS, other diseases, and general poverty have left countless children orphaned. In short, it’s a good cause, as always. The lineup assembled to rock out for the cause is impressive, as always. Leading the way is Buffalo’s own prog rock six-piece outfit Peanut Brittle Satellite, whose intricate percussion-intensive brand of multi-instrumental musical mayhem will give patrons a lot to contemplate on top of the cause being supported. Also performingwill be local experimental / jazz / prog / post-punk duo A Hotel Nourishing, and Music Is Art (another cause Nietzsche’s supports) festival veterans and young up-and-comers the Scorched Earthlings. —edward a. benoit
