the ifstory.....
imagine if - At a school dance, you hear Chuck Berry, Little Richard, and Elvis for the first time. The following day instruments are purchased and a band is born.
imagine if - Your slightly off his rocker uncle allows you to play in his pub for tips. Within weeks a line out the door every Saturday and no room to move inside. Fast forward a year and now you are the single most popular pub band in England.
imagine if - A record contract is offered, but while en route to file the copyrights at the patent office, the drummer is mugged and the manuscripts are stolen.
imagine if - Conspiracy! Suddenly the contract is rescinded, you’re banned from the BBC, and a battle with the transport union makes it impossible to tour. Within a short time, you are forgotten.
imagine if - Songs very similar to those stolen, become hits for a new generation of British bands, some of whom become some of the most successful recording artists of all time.
imagine if - After many years, a lone manuscript surfaces, providing the link between the wrongs of the past and the mysterious disappearance of the ifs.
So began their mission as the Secret Agents of the British Invasion…to infiltrate each city and town with the style that was once theirs alone. "You may not know our names, but you’ll remember the sound".

This is one party you do not want to miss!
Saturday, November 8th, 2008 marks the 4th annual Flash Party to be held at the Essex Arts Center, 30 Essex Street, Buffalo. This event is a stimulation of the senses and will feature an extraordinary multimedia visual and acoustical backdrop. Go-go dancers, video lighting, film, live bands including The Ifs, and multiple djs will highlight the evening.
The event will be held from 7pm-midnight and will span throughout the multiple rooms and levels of the Essex Arts Center. This is a 21+ event and ticket price includes beer, wine and the chance to design your very own steel sculpture which will then be plasma cut by professionals for you to take home.
Tickets are available presale at Terrapin Station (1172 Hertel Avenue) and Everything Elmwood (740 Elmwood Ave & 4446 Main Street, Williamsville) for $35.00, and will also be available at the door for $40.
The Essex Arts Center, located on Essex Street on Buffalos West Side, was started by Larry W. Griffis Jr. in 1969 to serve as a place for artists to live, create, show their work and grow as creative individuals. The Center was the first of its kind in Buffalo and was ahead of its time. The complex has many studios presently occupied by painters, musicians, sculptors, photographers, draftsman, filmmakers, and Big Orbit Gallery. The complex itself is a turn-of-the-century Ice House and is composed of four buildings.
The Essex Arts Center is part of the Ashford Hollow Foundation, which also operates Griffis Sculpture Park in Ashford Hollow, New York.
Support the arts! Bring a friend! Be there!
