September 2, 2010 - THE NEXT CHAPTER AND CELTIC CHAOS 2010
If you haven't heard yet, Lexington Field has added two new members to the ranks. Before we get to that, we would like to say THANK YOU to our best friend and Lexington Field drummer, Brinton Ward. Brinton played his last regular show with us on August 27. Brinton has played hundreds of shows, recorded three albums, has been with us since 2006, and will always have a special place in the band! While "Big Bad BW" will still play shows with us from time to time, he is handing over regular duties to Vincent West. Vincent hails from Descanzo, CA and rocks the drums in the San Diego band Just Like Jenna. Not only will he be providing the beats, Vince is also a bagpiper on the side, so stay tuned for the multi-instrumentalist to bring diversity and energy that are staples for Lexington Field. We are excited to have Vince part of the team.
We also want to thank Brendan Malone, who played bass with us in 2010. Brendan is moving on to some other projects and finishing up college in pursuit of joining the police force. We are gonna miss Brendan's antics, personality, and "one-of-a-kind" stage presence. Brendan holds the title for only Lexington Field member with an actual Irish last name! Taking over for Brendan will be local punk rocker Casey Jones. And, no, he is not the same hockey enthusiast Casey Jones from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! Casey has been playing in local San Diego punk bands for the last 10 years and brings an attitude and aggressive bass playing style to the forefront. We can't wait to have someone other than Beau knocking things over on stage. Welcome aboard Casey!
We have been real busy getting Vince and Casey ready, and they will be making their debut Friday, September 3 at JT's Pub. Make sure to come say "hi" and welcome them to the community of Lexington Field. Speaking of shows, we are really excited to announce CELTIC CHAOS 2010. This year features an awesome lineup including Los Angeles Irish rockers - The Mighty Regis, rockabilly heavyweights - the Hard Fall Hearts, your favorite Irish American Punk Rockers - Lexington Field, and the talented traditional group - the Cameron Highlanders Pipe Band of San Diego County. This year's event will be at Brick by Brick on Friday, September 17, the official Halfway to St. Patty's Day. Doors open at 8 PM and tickets are only $10. Email us at info@lexingtonfield.com to purchase tickets from us or go to www.brickbybrick.com to buy them online. This is going to be an amazing show, and we would love for all of you to make it out to the party!
One last thing, we have spent much of the summer writing new songs and we will be debuting some of them at upcoming shows over the next few months. This is in anticipation for some exciting news that we plan on sharing with everyone at the end of September. So, stay tuned because the next chapter of Lexington Field is an exciting one indeed. Sláinte!
