If you have never been to a Dregs show before, it may be a bit confusing your first time. There most likely will be some chaos, loudness, and maybe some humor. Let me help you understand what we like to call… ‘entertainment’.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

First off, we have fans, and they RULE. Because they are Dregs Groupies, we call them ‘Droopies’. Totally makes sense, like Tim says.<\/p>\n

They like to pay us for songs. Our going rate is $5 a song. That is almost<\/em> a dollar per person in the band, so you’re getting a deal! Our tagline line is, “for five dollars, we’ll play any song- even if we don’t know it”. Most of the time, our fans are kind and request songs in our repertoire. SOME TIMES THEY ARE NOT, and we have to scramble. Ever hear ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ at a karaoke bar? Like that, except with an accordion.<\/p>\n

Sometimes we don’t get requests, and Tim picks on some poor new person in the audience. This person will be asked their name. FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING HOLY, SAY IT’S AN IRISH NAME. The band will come after you, and I’m a pacifist, but also a conformist, so I’m pretty torn in those moments. You will be asked to choose between songs for us to sing. They are:<\/p>\n

  1. Sea Shanty (insert joke about seamen)<\/li>\n
  2. Bawdy (insert joke about dead people)<\/li>\n
  3. Drinking and Dying (cheers and mugs lifted in appreciation)<\/li>\n
  4. A STUPID PRETTY SONG (band goes nuts for absolutely zero reason I’ve figured out in five years with them)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    the song probably sounds pretty, but we are not<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    Oh yeah, our band is supposedly an Irish band, we’re family, and we all have stage names. Let me help you, because even I <\/strong>get confused. Sometimes we call each other by our stage names. Sometimes we’re lazy hacks and forget. Here’s a handy cheat sheet:<\/p>\n
