Hello again Droopies. I warned you that I was inspired from my last post for another blog entirely. Well here it is. My last name was altered from Zupan to Zupon by my grandfather who was tired of the mispronunciation of the long ‘a’. Zupan can be traced back to Slovenia. You can check out […]
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.
Six People to Avoid When Forming a Band
Social media is the best. I get exposed to all kinds of things (sometimes literally) that I otherwise would not have stumbled upon.

Flawed Dregs, and by flawed I mean dead bird
The Dregs had a very busy 2013! You might have missed it, but we were asked to write a song to be a part of Joesph Scrimshaw’s Flaw Fest. If you haven’t listened to it, you can check out some of his comedy AND check out our song too. Or, for a dollar, you can […]
beauty and the teeth

It’s a nice break from the rambunctious comedy pieces we normally do, and its layering of instrumentation we do gives me goosebumps. The Dregs perform Arlington, link courtesy of mega Droopie, Caden Logan. And here is a photo from the show just because […]

¡Infeliz Navidad!
Molly here. It is a Dregs tradition to sing Feliz Navidad and screw with the lead. I inherited the song from Angelina, and since then I’ve had the following happen to me: Had the boys fondle me Been toilet papered Tim’s junk near me (ew) Underwear and a camel puppet up in my mix Been […]

Are you kids getting as excited as I am for this holiday show OR WHAT!? Knowing that it sold out in just a couple days is so insane. As a huge treat to you, our fans, we’re opening the doors at six so we can all eat dinner together. I plan on having the amazing […]
