Studio Viewing, Album Plans

Well good morning everyone!

Today Emilio and Thom will be going to Allston, MA to check out the studio we are planning to be recording in. They are called Keep the Edge Studios. Looking forward to the viewing.

Dan was there recording with Jenna and Bees on Saturday. Great band! Check 'em out!

the studio is run by Berklee Grads and we're very excited to be working along side them!
Looks like we'll be recording in September. We've had some minor set backs. But it's a good thing, so we can make the album like we want and have more time to plan, arrange, and think of more things to do for it.

Speaking of the album, I think we'll be doing 10 tracks and we have 2 open spots to fill to make the 10. I know we will be doing a cover (TBD), 1 or 2 well known remakes of Irish songs, And some of the original stuff we've done live.

It's going to be a fun time! Have a great day everyone!

Annoying Things!

Do you ever find yourself to become annoyed easily by things that keep happening.

Well people are constantly not replying to things and I find it super annoying. Especially if it's important subject!
Oh well I can't change people... Some of them will just remain incompetent!

So It looks like we will not be doing weekly gigs at Lansdowne due to the fact they want someone now... Since we are all going out of town for a long while, it's apparently not going to work... that too I find annoying!

But 30 Rock is making things better.
Thank you Tina Fey! ;)

So now I'm going to finish working on Trad. Irish tunes for our album. It's looking like we'll be doing 10 tracks for the album! We'll be recording at Keep the Edge Studio in Allston, MA!!

Then I shall work out before DFP rehearsal... I wish I still had a gym membership!

Have a great night everyone!

Week After Break

Well today is the last day of classes for the band and then the weekend!

Kyle unfortunately fell ill this past week and has pretty much had his head in the toilet all week. Thank goodness he's doing better today!
In good news, Kyle has got the great opportunity to play this summer at Hershey Park!!

We are very excited for him and we know he's very excited too!
So we will have a sub for him this summer for any gigs we do.
This also means his parts on the album will be done at a later time. But it will be done!

on that note, unfortunately we will not be able to all go down to Texas like we thought for the album, but will be doing it in Boston!

So many good things to come!

Have a great day everyone!

Welcome

Hello Family, friends, and fans!

Welcome to Dublin Free Press' blog! Mr. Hovland, Kyle's father, suggested we make a blog and finding out that most of the members would post, I (Emilio) made one! haha Thank you Mr. Hovland!

Well we all survived St. Paddy's day for the most part! It was a great gig and we had a blast! Thank you everyone for coming out! Sorry about the age restriction. We had no idea until people were saying they were being turned away. Next time we will hopefully know that in advance. My apologies!

We made some new friends and fans that day. See Lansdowne's fan page on Facebook for a video of us playing "Shipping Up to Boston" by DKM!

We are still on break for the next couple of days, then it's back to hitting the books and more rehearsals! We have one more maybe two more shows coming up! So Make sure to catch us at the Battle of the bands in April! See www.dfpband.com for more details.

Now it's back to getting work done! Check back or more posts by different members randomly. :)

Take care!
-Emilio
