Sun. June 17

How many club gigs can you do? For rock bands on the circuit, the answer can be "infinite." But it can be a grind. It's work. How do you make each special? Aye, there's the rub. The guys in Jim's Big Ego - Jim Infantino's band - have an answer. You put on something called "The Ego & The Oracle: A Spontaneous Musical Interactive Theatrical Event" at Jimmy Tingle's Off Broadway. What this means is the Boston-based Ego team up with writer/cult horror film actor/musician/radio mystic Andras Jones for what they call "rock 'n' roll divnination." Que? It's further described as "Magic 8 Ball meets the iPod Shuffle." OK, what happens is audience members are invited on stage to ask questions of the Oracle. Then, they spin a wheel with Ego's songs on it - shades of what Elvis Costello did years ago - and when the wheel stops the band plays the song, which is then interpreted as the answer to the question. This could be fun, a lark, or just plain weird, but these guys have done this before so they are pros ... at whatever it is they do. They have a Sunday residency that has one more show, Sunday, June 17, at 7:30 p.m. Tickets:  Tickets: $15
