sleaze ball is a love letter to the era of bloghouse, electroclash, and indie sleaze of the early aughts as well as the latest resurgence of those respective genres today. combining elements of music, dance, drag, and entertainment, sleaze ball was born out of the desire for a party or event that brought hipsters, indie rockers, and weirdos together to celebrate the monoculture of indie/alternative music through a queer lens and experience.

for our first party of the new year, we challenge you to fight for your right to party... at sleaze ball vs. scott pilgrim vs. the world, you have 7 evil exes to defeat, but the dance floor is the final boss

sleaze ball returns with a night inspired by edgar wright’s 2010 cult classic scott pilgrim vs. the world - where indie rock, video games, electro-pop, and hot evil exes all collide for a night of dancing, drag, and debauchery

come dressed as your favorite character, lean into indie sleaze, or just come as you are!

The Rare Book Room of the Buffalo and Erie County Public Library is honored to acquire and exhibit a selection of artist books and prints made by AP (Anthony Peter) Gorny. Printmaker, photographer, sculptor, bookmaker, performer — none of these definitions truly capture AP as an artist. A graduate of SUNY Buffalo State University and Yale University's School of Art, AP's artwork is in over 50 institutional collections, including the Vatican Library, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, and the Library of Congress.

Though many of AP's professional accomplishments extend far beyond Buffalo, he is a product of this city. AP was born into the insular Polish communities of Buffalo in the mid-twentieth century. When he finally ventured beyond his neighborhood, the expansive cultural experiences available to him in Buffalo helped shape the artist he was to become. Using oral histories, digitized materials from Buffalo's cultural institutions, and the artist's own work, the Library's Special Collections Department has woven the disparate pieces of AP's career to show an artist formed in a specific place and moment, working outside established channels to create a world for himself.

The exhibit AP Gorny: Different from the Rest will showcase artist books recently acquired by the Library's Rare Book Department in close cooperation with AP, as well as never-before-seen archival documentation and video footage made available through the digitization efforts of the Grosvenor Room.
