Check out this labfie of me in full personal protective equipment, my gloved finger pushing an inactive button on an obsolete sequencer as I pipette a fluorescent liquid into a scintillation vial and stare, through my respirator hood, at a whiteboard full of math-like scribbles beside a map of coronavirus cases.

James LaBrie 

James LaBrie is the extremely talented vocalist for the band Dream Theater. Born May 5th, 1963 as Kevin James LaBrie, he was raised in Penetanguishene, Ontario, Canada. He took up the drums at age 5, but later gave that up in order to pursue singing more fully. At age 21, he began vocal training with the renowned vocal coach Rosemary Patricia Burns, who remained his coach for many years.

He has also pursued several other projects, including the Canadian glam rock band Winter Rose, which was popular all around Toronto in the late 1980s. After Dream Theater fired thier former vocalist, Charlie Dominici (who performed on DT's first album "When Dream and Day Unite" - 1989) they hired LaBrie, using his middle name as a stage name to differentiate between Kevin Moore who was the keyboardist in the band when he joined.

James has also appeared on releases by Fates Warning and Shadow Gallery, Trent Gardner's Explorer's Club and Leonardo the Absolute Man, as well as tribute albums to Rush, Emerson Lake and Palmer, and Queen. In 1999, James completed and released the first MullMuzzler album, "Keep it to Yourself" to much critical acclaim. "The followup, James LaBrie's MullMuzzler 2", was released in 2001. James also contributed his vocal talents as a major character on Ayreon's 2004 rock opera, "The Human Equation." His newest record "Elements of Persuasion" was released in 2005.
James LaBrie is a vocal god. Period.

We are trendy, we are hip. We live in NYC and can't seem to picture living anywhere else. We are known as the "private school of the public schools". We stand infront of Paradise before and after school (always drinking ice coffee) and In Union Square on weekends. We live for Chelsea Market, smoking "bogues" on the stoop across from Lab while having numerous run in's with Steve from Sex and the City. We live for the weekends, getting insanely high or getting drunk off 40ozs. We shop at Urban and we love ms. Weinstein. We are true slackers and we always come to class high. We live for the teachers at the YMCA for gym class. We are clicky, we are selfish, we collect Nike Sneakers. We hate sports, except basketball and soccer, except we always play high "TREES". We know everyone's business, so don't even try to hide your deepest, darkest secrets, we will find them out. We all hook up wtih the same people. We are anti-social to other schools, don't even try talking to us if you aren't one of us.
Labbies, we run this shit.
