Bostonist has been on board from early on, it's almost a year old (turning 1 on April 1), and the site has seen a fair amount of media attention from the likes of the Boston Globe, Metro, and recently both Wired and Rolling Stone. Tonight the site takes center stage at River Gods in Cambridge where Marstall will DJ the evening using all bands tracked in Tourfilter.

Morphine's Dana Colley plays saxophone on one of the more contemplative tracks.
