Well, when The Dregs record songs to put on albums, just about anything can happen. Most of it includes profanity. We decided to lay down ‘Dinosaur Bones’ and I’m not sure what happened when it was my turn. All I know is I ‘sang’ a string of words that would scare the Mafia. Being classically […]
Author: Molly
Molly has been hogging the spotlight since she first started playing the violin in 1988. She soon realized a life of performance and poverty is more exciting than earning a sustainable living, so she double majored in music and theater. After years of romping around at reputable places in the Twin Cities including The Minnesota Opera Chorus, Bloomington Civic Theater, and The Jungle Theater, Molly lowered her standards and gave The Dregs a try in 2010 and finally made this 'Irish' band legit with a fiddle player. Molly is going to graduate school for her masters in education to hopefully learn how she went so very wrong.
Happy Anniversary to Moi
Saint Patrick’s Day is a special time for an Irish band, and that’s no different for The Dregs. It’s especially special because it marks my anniversary with the band. While I looked to find photographic evidence of that major event (how the hell can you call yourself ‘Irish’ without a FIDDLE PLAYER?), I could not […]
no likey the tap
So Tim posted this blog about yours truly EFFING TAP DANCING while I play a violin solo. I made the mistake of casually mentioning it at a dinner last Saturday. Now he’s made it a thing. GOD. DAMMIT. TIM. WICK. Ima say this. I tapped for one production of Anything Goes back in college in 2001 […]
Droopie of the Month: March Edition
Greetings Dreg-Heads. This month’s droopie is Maggie Heck. *general applause* Mostly because her doting husband is a dork and commented first. But don’t worry kids, I’ll torture ALL of you who showed interest! 😀 Maggie is a megafan. And when I mean mega, I mean she knew all the words to the songs before I […]
we want YOU
This is either the best idea ever or going to be a mark of shame like the scarlet letter. I want to start doing a blog on here for *drum roll* Droopie of the Month. What is a droopie, you ask? Well, it’s a mish-mash of the words ‘Dreg’ and ‘Groupie’. This gold nugget was […]
St Chadface
At rehearsal on Monday, we discovered something. There once was a man named Chad who was sainted. According to the Wikipedia Article the continued use of the word ‘chad’ to describe ballot paper and the questionable 2000 presidential election, some refer to St Chad jokingly as the patron of botched elections. We in The Dregs tend […]
cutting corners
Okay, here is the part where I usually have a witty friggin Dregs entry defending my obscene habits, convincing you to come to a show, or share a story we’ve alluded to onstage. NONE OF THAT TODAY. I just started grad school, and I was there all damn day yesterday, plus I’m working on another […]
My dirty secret; Mascara Anonymous
I have a confession to make. I am addicted to make up. And not just any- specifically mascara. Okay, here’s how it went down. My mother started putting make up on me when I was about six for fancy family photos. Not even kidding. It was usually blush, lip gloss, … and my old dear […]
Tim and Marc, sitting in a tree….
You know how the rest of that nursery rhyme goes. But do we really know how it started? How did my boyfriend and bandmate begin their bromance? I am unsure, but lets retrace some of the clues I’ve gathered and see if we can make sense from all of this. The Dregs take part in […]
