06/10/10 - A
BIG MONTH INDEED
We only have two shows this month, but they are going to be
two of the biggest shows of the year! The first one is on Friday, June
18 at one of the best venues in town, the Belly Up Tavern. We will be
playing with one of the best and renown Irish Rock bands in the country -
The Young Dubliners!!! Tickets are $22 and can be purchased at www.bellyup.com. We are honored to share the
stage with such an influential band to us. Our second show will be two
days later at the San Diego County Fair on Sunday, June 20. What a
great way to spend Father's Day watching Lexington Field on the Paddock
Stage from noon to 2 PM, then go eat turkey legs, fried Snickers bars,
and jumbo pickles galore. Come to one of these exciting shows and start
the summer off with a bang!
5/4/10 - ONLINE STORE OPEN FOR BUSINESS
Not only are you able to purchase our brand new EP "The Streets of Dover" on iTunes now, you can now buy the album, and our "Streets of Clover" t-shirt and tank top online at our new e-store called the Lexington Field Market. So get your Lexington Field music and gear online right now or come to a show and get the stuff there.
We would like to thank everyone who came out to the For The Love Of Laurel Benefit concert a couple weeks ago at Tango Del Rey. With your help and we were able to raise almost $5,000 for Laurel to go toward her medical expenses. She is one awesome girl and is putting up an amazing fight against this tough disease. Please go to www.fortheloveoflaurel.org for more information and if you want to donate and help out Laurel and her family.
We recently went into the studio to help our buddy Ryan out with his recording class at the Art Institute of California-San Diego. We tracked a new song called "Singin' Joe". We will be doing vocals in a few weeks and will put it up online for your listening pleasure as soon as it is done. So far so good!

3/17/10 - HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!!!

March Madness is an understatement. It should be called March Insanity. This is by far the biggest month in the history of the band and we have so much news its hard to know where to start. So, buckle your seat belts and get ready for some Lexington Field!!!
ST. PATRICK'S DAY
CELEBRATION
St. Patrick's Day is like Christmas
to Lexington Field. This year we will be our biggest one yet. We
start off in the wee hours of the morning on 1090 AM with our GREAT FRIENDS
Scott Kaplan and Billy Ray Smith from the Scott
& BR Show. We performed live on air last year as Fiffin Market
and we are real excited to come back this year as Lexington Field.
After the radio show we head to the Gaslamp District to play a matinee
show at Henry's Pub
from 1 to 4 PM. Again, we did this last year and had a blast. Nothing
like a pint and some Irish music to get your day started for the grand
celebration. If you are downtown, make sure to come by and have a few
rounds. So far this is a pretty great St. Patrick's Day being on the
radio and playing downtown...BUT WAIT, THERE IS MORE...Ladies and
Gentleman, it is now time for the Main Event! We will be headlining the
BELLY UP TAVERN!!!
The show starts at 8:00 PM and will feature Weezer tribute band GEEZER,
the beautiful ladies of the CABURLESQUE
KITTENS, and the talented DJ MAN-CAT, and of course your favorite Irish band
LEXINGTON FIELD!!! The show is presented by BFD Productions
and will be, by far, our biggest show yet. Tickets are only $8 online
at www.bellyup.com
or $10 at the door. We are anticipating a sellout, so please get your
tickets early. What a day huh? Not only are we going to be celebrating
St. Patrick's Day, we will also be having a party for the release of...
THE STREETS OF DOVER
The first release of Lexington Field will be coming out on St. Patrick's Day!!! It is a five-song EP called The Streets of Dover. We can't wait to finally have some Lexington Field music finally available to our fans. Here are the five songs and some notes about each of them. It will be available at shows on March 17th and online in April.
1. Tracy Boys Fight The World - This is an original Lexington Field song that captures our energy and essence of what we are known for. If you like upbeat Irish music that is catchy and makes you want to dance, then this is your song. It is is about a gang of scrappers and is inspired by "Fighting Bill Tracy from Dover", a character from the classic tune "The Irish Rover" (on Fiffin Market's The Lighthouse)
2. The Fields of Athenry - Many bands have played this song in Irish pubs across the world. It is practically Ireland's national anthem. One of our favorite versions is by Boston punk rockers the Dropkick Murphys. We listened, we admired, we took notes, and decided to give the world our version of this classic. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do playing it!
3. Drunken Sailor - As Fiffin Market, we recorded our take of another classic and fan favorite "Drunken Sailor". It is on The Lighthouse. We also did a music video to this song which you can see on YouTube right now. Well, we remastered it and it is more rockin than ever. What will you do with a drunken sailor?
4. The Toledo Tapper - Another alumni track we decided to remaster and include on The Streets of Dover is our original jig "The Toledo Tapper". Talk about wanting to dance - this is your song! Cami shines on the fiddle and the song is named after her hometown.
5. The Spirit of Lexington Field - This song was written by Beau back in 2005 for his grandfather who lost his bravely fought battle with cancer. It was the inspiration behind the name of our band and we are proud and honored to present you this version of a song that means so much to us. The song ends with the line "the story has now just begun"...fitting for this band and anyone who knows us.
SANDIEGOPUNK.COM BAND OF THE MONTH
We recently got chosen as SanDiegoPunk.com's band of the month for March! We are excited to join the San Diego punk community...finally! As band of the month, we also did an interview.

1/8/10 - A NEW YEAR TO ROCK
Welcome to 2010!!! We have a feeling this is going to be a big year for Lexington Field. We already have started off with a bang introducing two new recordings: "Tracy Boys Fight The World" and "The Fields Of Athenry". Our first show of the year is tonight at Hennessey's in Downtown San Diego. Hennessey's is one of our favorite venues downtown and a perfect place to kick off the new year. On Saturday, January 9, we will be traveling up to Colton, CA to play our first show at Liam's Irish Pub. We are excited to venture further out of San Diego County in 2010, so if you want us to come play at your town, let us know and we will see what we can do. We all had a well rested, relaxing holiday, but now its time to pick up our instruments, pick up our pints, and get ready to party Lexington Field style! And, one last thing, GO CHARGERS!! See you at the shows.
12/29/09 - NEW SONGS!!!
First of all, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from Lexington Field! Second, as a holiday gift to all of our fans, we have posted two brand new Lexington Field songs online for your listening pleasure. These two songs will be part of our next album set to come out in 2010. They are both upbeat and get the blood pumping to move your feet and/or have another round. One song is an LF original called "Tracy Boys Fight The World". It's about the Tracy boys running the town, getting the girls, and fighting anyone an arm's length away. With inspiration from one of our favorite bands, the Dropkick Murphys, we also took a stab at "The Fields Of Athenry". This is a classic Irish tune and we hope you like our interpretation. You can find these songs on MySpace, Facebook, iLike, and our Music page. We are so excited to share our new music and give you a sneak peek into what we have in store for you guys in the near future. Have a very safe holiday season and we will see you in January 2010 with a full schedule and ready to rock!
12/03/09 - HOLIDAY HAPPENINGS
Greetings and Happy Holidays from Lexington Field!
As we approach the end of 2009, we wanted to thank everyone that has contributed to our success this year. We have played numerous shows, drank hundreds of pints of beer, and have been given several opportunities to play at exciting new venues with other talented musicians to our amazing fans.
As we approach 2010, we are eager to pick up where we left off; rocking all year long with our distinct Irish-folk-punk sound. To keep it exciting, we have decided to go into the studio and record two brand new songs just for you, as a little teaser to a brand new album we plan on releasing next year! So, new music, new merch, and more shows are in the near future you Lexington Fielders, so stay tuned...
From all of us here in Lexington Field, we wish you a safe and a Happy Holiday! We will raise our pints in your honor!
11/03/09 - NOVEMBER HAPPENINGS
So its been a slow few weeks. At least that is the appearance we have had from a show perspective. First of all, we have two members down on the DL right now. Bryan is recovering from major knee surgery and should be back in action playing shows in by the end of November. Tony had an accident at work messing up his arm and will be out for awhile too. In the meantime we are preparing to go back in the studio in late November/December to first record three songs, then another three early next year to complete a new EP we plan on releasing before St. Patrick's Day 2010. We are extemely excited to share the new stuff with you and we might be breaking in some of the songs at some near future shows. We have four shows booked this month. All of them are in the downtown area (11/13 @ The Field, 11/14 @ Hennessey's, 11/20 @ Hennessey's, amd 11/21 @ Java Jones). There is a ton of stuff happening in the background right now as we prepare for a very exciting 2010. So, thanks for your patience and come hang out with us at the shows this month.
