Last night I trooped out to Precinct in Somerville MA see awesome Boston Fop-Rockers The Upper Crust, I wish this story was about how awesome they were, because they are, but actually it's about how I was excited to get out, see a band at 8PM. There was no opener, it was straight on to headliner for 3 sets for $10.  I was home by 11:15.  More bars should do these early shows on a weeknight.  I know they want to be open all night, but why not get drinkers in early instead of seeing if you can compel them to stay late?  The room surely had 100 people or so in it, that's a tidy sum for band and club.  

Hey All,

Wanted to tell you guys about a new site I’ve launched called intro.verse.chorus.

It’s a blog about songwriting by and for songwriters. I’ll be writing as well as moderating, with other writers contributing as we go. Please visit, look around, subscribe if you like and pass along to the songwriter/musician in your life -

Best,
Mark

This fantastic forum is not the only one I am a member of but is definitely now 100% my favourite. I hope no one minds but classic rock magazine is permanently shutting down their forum this coming wednsday as a buisiness decision so I done the only sensible thing and invited them all over to here. I figured since thats where I heard about rcok and roll tribe in the first place it was the only logical choice. There are/were some great guys on that forum with a lot of humour thrown in and it had that terrific sense of commraderie and community that only a forum or group can create, such as we have on here too.

I can only hope they take notice and move over here as I would hate to lose touch with them and feel they would be a real bonus to our great community we have here. At the least I know Ive taken action and tried to help keep a bunch of rockers in touch with each other and boost our numbers with some great and interesting people.

Please forgive any spelling…
