LEXINGTON FIELD - NEWS FEBRUARY 2012

MARCH MADNESS HAS ARRIVED!

It is here! The biggest month in the history of Lexington Field! We can't wait to celebrate with all our fans, family and friends as we release an album, play some HUGE shows, and kickoff the next phase of our band! Here is a breakdown of the next four weeks:

WEEK ONE - HOTEL KOALAFORNIA

It all starts here, when our good friends from Melbourne, Australia, The Ramshackle Army, make a pit stop in California on there way to tour with Dropkick Murphys! Also, our buddies, Hoist the Colors, will be joining us, as well as LA Celtic rockers, Green Ashes, and our mates, The Fooks, who bring the Irish Punk to the pubs of San Diego year round!

SHOW #1 - Friday, March 2 - The Slidebar (Fullerton, CA)

SHOW #2 - Saturday, March 3 - Gallagher's (Ocean Beach, CA)

These will be two very special, "international" shows, so make sure to take advantage of this opportunity to party with The Ramshackle Army, and let's show them what the Celtic Punk scene is all about in California!

WEEK TWO - HE COMMANDS A SHIP WITH NO NAME

Not only will we be playing a couple shows (Friday, March 9 we return to Clancy's in Long Beach with Dublin Public & a Lexington Field Lite performance at Hard Rock Cafe on Saturday, March 10), we will return to our acting roots to film our next music video with our talented friends Trevor and Miles, who were the creative force behind our "Tracy Boys Fight the World" video! The plot is set, the storyboards are being created, and we will start filming the music video to "Sir Captain Jones" off our upcoming EP Poor Troubled Life on Saturday, March 10. The final product should be out in early April so stay tuned...it's gonna be a good one!

WEEK THREE - ST. PATRICK'S DAY & POOR TROUBLED LIFE ARE HERE!!!

This has to be the biggest week ever for Lexington Field. It starts Tuesday, March 13, with the official release of our new EP Poor Troubled Life on New Folk Records! We have been anxiously waiting to show the world our new album, and we are super excited to be working with New Folk Records to make that happen. On top of that, our debut full length, Old Dirt Road will also be released nationally on New Folk Records that same day. Then on Wednesday, March 14, we head up to Hermosa Beach to play with Irish Rock heavyweights, Young Dubliners, at the very cool Saint Rocke. Last year we had the pleasure to play with the Young Dubs five times, so we can't wait to share the stage with them again. It will also be our first show where our new EP will be available, and a nice midweek tune up to St. Patrick's Day! On Friday morning, March 16, we will be back in San Diego to join Sprung Monkey and Tony Cummins at Hooley's in La Mesa for Keggs N' Eggs presented by Rock 105.3! We go on at 8:30 AM and make sure to tune in before that to hear us on the radio! Okay, that would normally be a pretty jam packed week, but then the biggest day of the year is on Saturday, March 17...ST. PATRICK'S DAY!!! Dust off your shillelaghs, because this is gonna be an insane day. First, we will be playing a matinee show downtown at Henry's Pub. This is the third year in a row we have played the afternoon there, and we are never disappointed to start the drinking early at Henry's Pub. After the show, we pack up and walk one block to the largest St. Patrick's Day party in all of San Diego...shamROCK!!! Our friends the Young Dubliners, will be headlining the night at 10 PM and guess what...we go on right before them from 8:30 to 9:30 PM!!! Also playing shamROCK this year will be The Fooks, The Fenians, and The Downs Family. It will be our biggest show yet, and we want you all to come celebrate St. Patrick's Day with Lexington Field downtown!

WEEK FOUR - CD RELEASE PARTY TIME YOU SELFISH BASTARDS

We cap off this amazing run with our CD Release Show to celebrate our new album Poor Troubled Life!!! The party is gonna be held Saturday, March 24 at The Ruby Room. We invited Hoist the Colors to come down and play our CD Release Show because it just wouldn't be the same without them. Also on the bill will be a couple San Diego local bands Black Market III and Dick Justice & The Happy Smoke. The whole process of making this album and getting it to all of our fans was quite an undertaking that started way back in the summer of 2011, and we want to thank all of you by putting on the best show ever! This is just the beginning to what looks like an unbelievable 2012. March Madness is here! 1-2-3...FIGHT!
