All I really need to know about how to live and what to do and how to be I learned on OurStage. So, here are a few things I learned:

• Share everything, especially when you’re at The Party.
• Play fair like TokBOT vs. JokBOT
• Don’t hit people, but if you can’t help it, then make sure you know What to do if you find yourself in a fight…
• Goldfish, hamsters and white mice - they all die. So do we, but we get to go out in style. Make sure you contact the guys from Pimp My Casket.

Everything you need to know is on there somewhere. The Golden Rule, love, equality, sane living, etc.

you know … I realize Quinn and Andy are “dudes” and they don’t notice “girlie things” but for the love of GOD what’s going on with this limp side pony tail here (SEE BELOW)? Example #2 of why I need help in the style department …

Every once in a while, things just fall into place.

Watching Leroy Justice play at the OurStage showcase at Verge, you couldn’t help but feel like the stars aligned. Nevermind they’re from New York City. Their set began almost immediately after the Red Sox beat the Yankees 7-5 across the Street at Fenway Park. As they began to play, swarms of well-lubricated and jocular Sox fans poured into Bill’s Bar, looking for a good time.

And Leroy Justice is a good time band.

With thick bluesy licks, an amped up stage presence, and vocals that practically invite you to sing along, Leroy Justice brought exactly what the crowd was looking for. Of course it didn’t hurt that lead singer, Jason Gallagher, provided eye-candy for the girlfriends of the inebriated. Simply put, the Justice killed.

An interesting side note: You’ll notice that two of the band members are missing in my interview. The keyboardist and lead guitarist (Sloan and Brendan) were at the game. Apparently one is a Yankees fan and the other a Sox fan. I never figured out which was a fan of which. Fortunately for the Justice (and the crowd), they put their differences aside in time for the show.

Here are some Leroy Justice links:

• Their OurStage Fan Page
• Their Website
• Myspace
• “Belt Buckle”
• “It Rains It Pours”
• “Hey Baby It’s Me”

Yes! Yes, I am ready, so bring it on…

In case you’ve been sleeping under a rock or on Pluto, here’s a brief synopsis of what IFFB is all about. Started in 2003, the Independent Film Festival of Boston continues to showcase the best independent films from around the world. As a bonus, you can also see many of the filmmakers at post-screening parties and festival panels, and actually talk to them…really. Who’s who in the industry will be at this event, so make sure you check it out at the various locations in Boston. Btw, I heard Joey McIntyre ;o) will be there for his screening of On Broadway. HELLO! He was like…the cutest member of NKOTB!

Oh, yeah…OurStage is sponsoring the IFFBoston Weekend Kickoff Party tomorrow night from 9pm-1am at Avila Restaurant and Bar in Boston. Make sure you get a pass to the festival and join us at the party!

… yes … “judge-er-cize” is a word

The one … the only … THE GoStation

Killer performances by a few of our Verge-favored artists … interviews coming soon…
