An Excerpt From The Independant Weekly, Chapel Hill, NC
If you happened to see our 2006 cover story on Carolina beach music culture, The Infinite Shag, you may remember our guide, Steve Rogers. Steve is still an avid shag dancer, but he also once played in a rock band, The Night Riders, in Alamance County from 1963 until 68. Their record was made for the famous Justice label and was reissued in recent years. They played some originals and modern rock songs that became timeless—you know, the sort-of guidebook for early rock teens like The Kingsmen, The Swingin’ Medallions, and of course, a little bit of the Beatles.

Robbie Poore's Event That Rekindled The Flame
This Sunday, January 20, 2008 from 8:30-11:00 p.m, Steve and the members of The Night Riders will talk about those teenage garage rock days on the Triangle’s radio repository for such things, WXDU, 88.7’s “Who’s Got the Cuckoo.” It’s an extended version of the one-hour show for this special reunion, with the heart of the program somewhere around 9-10:30 p.m. Robby Poore will chat with the band, while Stephen Conrad plays records throughout. The show is also celebrating its own three-year anniversary. Don’t miss it.

 

Justice Recording Company

Justice Records never had a hit. Indeed the tiny Winston-Salem, North Carolina, company generally issued no more than a few hundred copies of any of their releases, all cut in the mid-to-late '60s. Despite this fact Justice recordings have piqued the interest of collectors around the world. Fans in Italy, other parts of Europe and Japan are trying to find original pressings of these albums. Some have been known to bring $800 each. Collectables Records have released CDs of these albums of which The NIGHT RIDERS are one, so enjoy.
  It was unusual for Justice to include originals in any of their other releases.
