Don't forget to stop by the Abbey Lounge this evening to see Nate flex his ever-strengthening solo muscles with Dave Mirabella. Early free show for queeahs. That's what the sign on the door says, anyway.

Speaking of the other Mirabella, our man David stopped by for an impromptu session with The Jist this weekend. He added a whole new dimension to the "faking our way our way through cover songs then quickly falling apart when the chords change" technique: wanky guitar soloing. It's true what Margaret Thatcher once said: a little wank can cover up even the most blinding incompetence. The Jist was never jistier!

Oh, but don't forget that The Jist's other project - "Scamper" - will be playing a rock and roll show this Friday at the Middle East Upstairs with Wheat. Get your tickets early - there's a chance that due to literally no rehearsal time, the Jist may be forced to make an impromptu appearance. Can you say "trainwreck"?
