Mark Gould & Pink Baby Monster
Mark Gould & Pink Baby Monster is a three-member chamber music/performance art ensemble. The group is composer driven with all compositions and poetry written by members of the ensemble. The instrumentation of MG/PBM is trumpet/electric trumpet/echo cornet; guitar; computer samples, myriad midi components and drum samples; vocals. The musical roots of MG/PBM are wide and reflect the influences of the members of the ensemble whose ages span more than 2 generations. The musical ingredients of the ensemble are drawn from opera, electronica, beat-based minimalism, jazz and rock with a generous seasoning of hip-hop and Tibetan throat singing. The inspiration for the poetry and musical monologues is not drawn from the usual sources. MG/PBM's muse is politics, religion, science and mathematics, contemporary aesthetics, and various cultural ironies and peculiarities.
Mark Gould was principal trumpet of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra from 1974-2003 and has been on the faculty of the Juilliard School since 1982 and the Manhattan School of Music since 2004. Since leaving the MET Orchestra, Mr. Gould has been able to devote more time to chamber music, solo performance and conducting.
Mark Gould (trumpet, electric trumpet, voice), Kyle Sanna (guitar, electronics, sampler), Brian McWhorter (trumpet, sampler, electronics).
Wednesday, September 28th @ 8:00 p.m. Presented by Hallwalls and the UB Music Department. Soundlab is located at 110 Pearl Street in Downtown Buffalo.

Sabres V Preds Game 24
Four games in 6 nights certainly marks a rough patch in a schedule, and the Buffalo Sabres showed what kind of toll it can take by losing to the Nashville Predators 2-0 on home ice.
To be fair, both teams played an uninspired game from start to finish, which makes sense when you consider that the Predators played 3 games in 5 nights. There were few exciting scoring chances on either side of the ice and the game's pace was both stilted and broken. It was likely due to the coache … - Yesterday, 4:26pm

From Hoss: "Is Kabob and Curry opening at the old Mondo location on Elmwood, or Main? I haven't been to their primary eatery on Transit, but I hear they serve the best Indian food around."
Kabab and Curry will open in about two weeks at the former Mondo Video location... approximately mid-December.
