Welcome to the Dubs in 2012
NEW YOUNG DUBS ALBUM PLEDGE DRIVE
As many of you know we have been hard at work writing our new album
but this time we have chosen not to go with a record label.
There are many reasons for this decision but the most important one is
that we want total creative freedom and control for the first time in
the band's history. The recording industry has gone through a massive
change in the last few years and we feel it is now better for us to
become ''independent'' and release the album we want to release in the
way we want to release it.
Back working on the album now. Gigs start up again at Topanga Days
in Southern Cal on May 28th.
Just added. June tour of the South. We are
coming back at last! Also lots more festivals booked for Summer 2012.
All the info down below.
2012 is already looking like a very busy year here in Dubland. We
will be releasing a new album, touring all over the US and returning to
Europe. Thats the official plan, who knows what will really
happen!!
Check out the dates and make your plans now to come see
us play. Just click here Tour Page.
Even more Denmark dates announced. Going back to DK in Oct /
Nov. Check out theTour Page.

The pledge drive is continuing along as your
brilliant support keeps pouring in. We are getting very close to our
objective and it is coming at a prefect time. Next week we head back in
to record the next batch of songs.
As usual we are juggling gigs with recording and songwriting.
Meanwhile our agent Rich has been putting together the tour plans for
2012. There are so many great gigs coming up that you will have to check
out the tour page to take it all in.
Notable new additions are the
Celtic Fling in June marking the beginning of a week long run down
South and hitting Richmond, Ashville, Memphis, Nashville, Chatanooga and Atlanta along the way.
Then the Colorado Irish Festival and Chicago Heritage Irish
Festival in July, Dublin OH Irish Festival in August, Debuque Irish
Hooley in August, Kansas City Irish Fest and East Coast run in September
and many many more. Please keep an eye on the tour page so you can make
those plans to come and see us and hear all the new songs.
GOING BACK TO IRELAND IN NOVEMBER 2012. COME WITH US! TIX selling
fast . Reserve Now before ya miss your chance. Next trip won't be for
another year and a half!
This time we are going to start in the
North of Ireland with the first visit to Belfast and beyond. Of course
we will also have a Dublin show.
These Ireland trips have become legendary with a large number of repeat
customers every year. Part of what makes it so much fun is that on night
one we have a group dinner where everyone gets to hang with the band and
each other. That gets the ball rolling and friendships begin immediately
among the revellers.
Add to that your own personal guide / drivers taking you to the coolest
spots everyday and then dropping you back to the hotel in time to browse
the town or rest up for the gig that night. All our shows are
complimentary to the trippers so all you do is show the free pass you
receive on day one and in you go.
There are four dinners in all and four shows, each on alternate nights.
This year we will play our first show in Belfast in over 20 years. Then
we head to the West and Sligo. After that we spend one night in the most
famous castle in Ireland, Ashford Castle. This night alone will make the
trip worthwhile. Then it's 2 nights in Galway where we will play the
Quays, one of the most rocking and unique venues in Ireland. Finally its
off to Dublin (Bren and Keith's hometown) for two nights and one last
show.
We will have all the venues to announce soon in case you find yourself
in Ireland but not on the trip so stay tuned to this page. After six
years of making this trip we finally have it down. Short but highly
informative and fun coach trips with plenty of time for afternoon city
walking, happy hour pints, late night pub crawls and loads and loads of
craic (that's good times not some hideous drug!)
The reviews are coming in. Here's an account of our show in
Medford, OR by Chris Conrad in the Mail
Tribune.
We really enjoyed playing the whole Irish Sessions Album in
Dublin,Waterloo and Colorado. We just might pull it out again when ya
least expect it! See this review from Dublin, Ohio by Mike
Farragher.
