Kanye West, Lady Gaga plan HSBC Arena show
The Buffalo News
Jeff Miers
Kanye West and Lady GaGa will perform at HSBC Arena on Sunday, Dec. 20th, promoter Live Nation announced.
Tickets for the show will go on sale at 11 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 3rd through LiveNation.com, the HSBC Arena box office, and Tickets.com. Charge-by-phone tickets will be available through 888-223-6000.
Dubbed the "Fame Kills Tour starring Kanye West and Lady Gaga," the show brings West to town hot on the heels of the abundant controversy saturating the media in the wake of his behavior at this year's MTV Video Music Awards, which took place last week. West, not exactly a stranger to shooting off his mouth during televised awards shows, grabbed the microhone from a stunned Taylor Swift and proceeded to suggest that Beyonce should've won the "Best Female Video" award, and not Swift.
Aside from the fact that they have both broken the platinum barrier in terms of album sales, West, who specializes in a creative, collage-art, pop-based form of Hip-Hop; and Lady GaGa, a dance-pop diva in the Madonna mold have little in common. Still, the tour has been in the planning stages for months, and in the process, has become one of the most buzzed-about bills of the year. The jaunt will take West and Lady GaGa to 34 cities between early November and late January.
Tickets for the "Fame Kills Tour" are priced $129.50, $99.50, $69.50, and $39.50.

Walking with Dinosaurs at HSBC Arena
Not a movie or an exhibit, a theatrical experience
Melissa Holmes
Posted by: Emily Lenihan
BUFFALO, N.Y (WIVB) - The thunder is already rumbling as they stomp their way into Buffalo.
This is Walking with Dinosaurs. It's not a movie. It's not an exhibit.
"This is a theatrical experience," said Jennifer Van Rysdam, HSBC Arena, Dir. of Event Booking
It's coming to HSBC Arena this summer.
"It's the closest that audience will ever get to experiencing the time when dinosaurs ruled the earth," said Van Rysdam.
Walking with Dinosaurs was originally a television series on the BBC.
It's been transformed into a $20 million stage show seen by 2 million people worldwide.
But actually, it's too big for the stage. These dinosaurs roaming independently throughout the arenas are life size!
"The lifesize bracchiosaurus is 35 feet tall. The lifesize t-rex is 18 feet at the shoulder," said Sonny Tilders, Designer of the dinosaurs.
The show explores 170 million years of dinosaur history, in 100 minutes.
Tilders said, "There's nothing like it in terms of its combination of storytelling, technology, puppetry, and pure entertainment. Combined of course with education."
Tickets range from about $20 to $70. Walking With Dinosaurs comes to HSBC Arena June 24 to 28th.

Tragically Hip to play four Artpark shows
The Buffalo News
By Jeff Miers
NEWS POP MUSIC CRITIC
The Tragically Hip — Canada’s most popular rock band and a huge fan favorite in Western New York — will perform four shows in five days at Artpark this June, The Buffalo News has learned.
The band, which sold out two shows at the Lewiston venue last summer, will launch its tour there at 7 p. m. June 2 and continue with shows at 7 p. m. on June 4, 5 and 6, according to promoter Fun Time Presents. Fun Time’s Artie Kwitchoff and Donny Kutzbach will announce the concerts today.
Tickets for all four shows are $59.50 apiece and will go on sale at noon Friday through Tickets.com and the Artpark box office. All seats are reserved pavilion seating.
The tour is to promote the Hip’s 12th studio album, “We Are the Same,” to be released April 7.
The Tragically Hip performed its first area show within the relatively intimate confines of Nietzsche’s in Allentown back in 1989. The band, led by Gordon Downie, has been performing here ever since, in venues ranging from the Town Ballroom, to Darien Lake Performing Arts Center to HSBC Arena, building a sizable and incredibly loyal Buffalo audience in the process.
Since its formation in Kingston, Ont., where it cut its teeth in a manner similar to many Buffalo groups — covering the songs of famous acts in tiny bars and gradually sneaking in more and more of its own material — the Tragically Hip has grown into one of the most successful bands ever in Canada, selling out arenas from Vancouver to Toronto.
Buffalo has long mirrored Canada’s Hip-mania. And though the Hip has amassed a vast fan base here and in other border cities such as Detroit, in most other parts of the United States, it remains more of a cult act, routinely playing in midsize clubs.
“We in Buffalo know what Canada knows,” said Kutzbach. “This is one of the last great rock bands of our era. There is a definite artistic side to the band; they’re great musicians, and Gord Downie is a wonderful poet. But there’s also always that salt-of-the-earth, blue-collar aspect to what they do. It’s real, genuine rock ’n’ roll, and that’s something to value, because it’s so rare today.”

Buffalo Bandits Prepare for NLL Championship Game
Watch video
Due to various injuries, Brett Bucktooth's second season with the Bandits didn't begin until March 22.
Sometimes nothing is more painful than the waiting game. Buffalo Bandits second-year forward Brett Bucktooth knows that feeling all too well.
Bucktooth, a two-time All-American at Syracuse University, was the third overall pick in the 2006 draft. He showed flashes of brilliance during his rookie season with 12 goals and 26 points but something wasn’t right when he reported for training camp last November.
Bucktooth finally came back on March 22 and scored on his first shot, just 17 seconds into a 13-9 home loss to the Toronto Rock. But he couldn’t play two weeks later against Colorado and didn’t return to the lineup for good until April 12 against Rochester, finishing the season with four goals and three assists in four games.
The start of the playoffs has brought signs of the old Bucktooth, who had four goals and two assists in victories over Philadelphia and New York that got the Bandits to the championship game for the eighth time in their 17-year history.
The 25-year-old Bucktooth scored two short-handed goals against New York last week.
“It’s a big boost because every time he’s in the lineup he makes terrific plays,” said forward Roger Vyse. “He gave us a big boost against New York and got it really going for us.”
Bucktooth is thankful he was able to return for the championship run. It made all the lonely hours of riding a bicycle in rehab worth it.
“I wanted to be out there and I was missing it more than anything,” he said. “I don’t think I ever got frustrated or upset. I was disappointed, but that’s the way sports injuries are. You’ve just got to take it and learn from it. Any time you’re not able to do what you love most, when you finally get back, there’s a certain amount of gratitude.
“No player wants to miss a championship game because of an injury. I wouldn’t want to be in any other game with any other team. Being with the Bandits, in Buffalo, you can’t ask for a better situation.”
•••
Fewer than 2,500 tickets remain for Saturday’s game. Prices range from $31 to $41 and tickets can be purchased at the HSBC Arena box office or at Tickets.com. Fans are encouraged to wear orange and will be given orange pompoms. A pregame party will begin at 6 p. m. in the 100 level East wing.
