We wrote earlier about a doctor, a lawyer and an indian chief who’d started a band. OK, so it was a lawyer, a newsstand manager and a record store employee. Well, they’ve enlisted a drummer (alternate occupation unknown) and booked a gig next Thursday at Hamilton’s, under the name The Illegal Briefs. We blew this act’s cover when we overheard them rehearsing a few times in the legal offices of saxophonist “Flint” Gennessee, Esq. We didn’t think they could sue us or anything, but we didn’t know how they’d feel about being written about before they were “ready,” even in a column that was really about something else. (The spirit of community, duh.) So we didn’t tell them. Turns out they were thrilled, got a boost from folks walking into their businesses and complimenting them, and took all the attention as a sign that they should be playing out. No need to thank us. Just go see The Illegal Briefs next Thursday at Hamilton’s (Why not the Bullfinch? More lawyers drink at Hamilton’s.) Two acoustic acts open: Wye & Ott Echo and Scot Slaw…

Tonight: Godgi Goodeen and Art Mad at the Bullfinch… Fortune in My Misery at Hamilton’s… County Anselm (for the holiday) at D’ollaires. Drink green…
