Pop Rawk In Yo Mouth: Justin Goodrich CD Release @ McGann's Pub

On Saturday night, F Nice put on yet another fantastic show at McGann's Pub in Boston. It was Justin Goodrich's CD release show, and also featured Grace Morrison, JVD and the Back Porch Smokers, and Zilch. This particular reviewer has spent too much time getting high this week, rendering her unable to convey, with words, the awesome-ness of the show. However, if a picture is worth a thousand words, a video must be worth ten times that.  The following videos all came from this live stream, on qik.com.

Opening the show was Grace Morrison and the RSO, a six piece folky-bluesy local act featuring an upright bassist and violinist.



Next up was JVD & the Back Porch Smokers. A three piece "boozy, bluesy rock 'n roll" act based in Cambridge.



Justin Goodrich blew in like a hurricane, having come from an earlier show in Manchester, NH. He's a hustler! You can read a review of his last show at McGann's here.



Finishing off the show was Zilch, a Boston based jam band. One of the members' mom was there taking pictures; it was really cute.

Don't Call The Bartender A Bitch

The lesson of last night's show at McGann's is: When the bartender tells you to wait outside until your set, you probably shouldn't call her a bitch or the towering bouncer, who happens to be her boyfriend, will throw your ass out before you even set foot on the stage.

After that we all had a laugh about how much it sucked to be 19, and the headliner Kuuluuko opened up for themselves. Plenty of fun was had and only some of it at that dude's expense.

Anyway, today at 1pm Dex will be live on Unregular Radio doing the first of his new weekly Boston Local Music radio show. He put together some really fantastic local music from many genres and the show is going to be great.

Be sure to tune in to that today. You can go to unrelegularradio.com and click the big "Listen Now" button to open a little pop-out player and start listening now.
