Club Diablo, downtown Buffalo's rock club featuring DJ's, live music & special events with goth, rock, punk, industrial music & themes.

We stopped down at Club Diablo last week for two events:

Thursday, February 17th: We joined editor in chief Jennifer Link as Auxiliary Magazine celebrated their 2nd anniversary at what we would consider to be the epicenter of their scene in Buffalo, Club Diablo. Auxiliary Magazine, available online at www.auxiliarymagazine.com or in print (can be ordered online) is an alternative fashion, music & lifestyle magazine. Their mission statement according to their website is as follows:

"Auxiliary Magazine.  auxiliary = alternative, supplementary, to provide what is missing, to give support.

We have always had a love for the different, the unique, the creative. But from all sides we’ve heard what we love is on its way out, is suffering, is dying, is dead. Today an alternative aesthetic is seen more than ever. Yet the core, the base, the scene; everyone is telling us is in a sad state. Reality is what you make it.

Our goal is to provide high quality fashion editorials, photographs, and articles; unique reviews and insights on the best media out there; and to create discussion and passion about alternative subcultures. There is a lot of amazing and creative stuff happening. We hope to find it, highlight it, and encourage it to grow.

That is why we’ve created Auxiliary Magazine; an online and print magazine dedicated to fashion, music, and lifestyle with a darker aesthetic.  There are no other boundaries than that.  That is the strong point of alternative culture; and we hope to include it all.

And that is a lot of ground to cover.  So contribute!  Send us your fashion, your music, your events, your opinions, your projects, your ideas.  This magazine isn’t for a select few, we don’t know it all, this magazine is for you and what we all love."

We urge everyone to check out their online publication. And, writers should consider contributing relevant content. Congratulations to Auxiliary Magazine - with many more to come!

RASPUTINA CONCERT FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 18TH

On Friday, I waded through a packed Club Diablo to reach the bar & then the sound booth to get a few shots of the seminal cello-driven trio Rasputina in Buffalo on tour supporting their seventh album Sister Kinderhook. I won't try to pigeon-hole the band which has been described as gothic, punk, etc. My advice is to check their website and listen for yourself.
