Greetings "FS" fans. Sorry for the absence of writing the blog, but I've been dealing w/a bad stomach flu which has finally left. Feeling myself again thank God and back in doing what I love the most: music!

   Before I rant about what's going on with the band, I'd like to take this time in saying that we hope you keep in your hearts and prayers those countries who were stricken by the recent earthquakes in Haiti and just yesterday Chile. We encourage you to give to the Salvation Army (www.salvationarmy.com) or Red Cross (http://www.redcross.org/). After all, isn't that what we are here for on Earth for, to help fellow man during times of crisis (hence the title of this blog)?

   I've just recently added new pictures of the band performing at our last concert: Vegas Lounge in Norwood, MA from January 30, 2010. We were quite thrilled at performing at this venue (as you know, I performed there back in Novemeber for a solo acoustic set to help raise money/goods for the Norwood Food Pantry). Needless to say, the venue really loved us and we have several booking back there for the coming months. Speaking of venues, we possibly have another venue we will be peforming at in downtown Boston either in March/April called Coogan's Irish Pub. I'll keep you posted on this.

   For those of you who are wondering about our music video to our original "Do Without You" (which is on our Myspace page to those who want to listen: www.myspace.com/fsband4), we plan on filming sometime in the Spring when the weather gets much warmer and better. Until next time "FS" fans.........

Just a quick blog to say thanks to those of you who attended our premiere concert at Vegas Lounge in Norwood, MA this past Saturday. We were grateful to all of you for enjoying our show and we can't wait to return this month sometime. Management really loved it. We tried out some new songs: "Follow You Down (Gin Blossoms)", "Rebel Rebel" (David Bowie) and "All Because of You" (U2). We also performed "Do Without You" (our original) and peeps like it! We just booked another booking there, so head on over to GIGS for more info. We hope to have some photos up of our concert on this site (as well as our Myspace page) soon. We'll keep you informed.
We plan in getting together again in a couple of weeks to work on some more new songs (and hopefully an original or two) like "Sex on Fire" (Kings of Leon) and "Drive My Car" (Beatles). As always, if you have any suggestions/requests for songs to play, let us know! Until next time, "FS" fans.....

Greetings "FS" fans. My band and I would like to wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy, prosperous New Year. We hope 2010 brings you nothing but joy and good health. 2010 looks good so far for "FS" as we will be performing at a new venue, as well as being the continuing part of the line up at Fados Irish Pub (Twin River Casino). We are also trying to get into Foxwoods Casino, so wish us luck. We hope to have new songs (covers as well as some originals) as well.
My solo acoustic show last night at Pan City Grille (Plainville, MA) went really well. I ended up doing 4 sets and an encore (performing a bunch of songs I haven't done in awhile too). It was a great time and I had a blast (I'll be playing back there again on Saturday, January 9th at 8pm). Many thanks goes to my cousins Dianne and Chuck who drove me there/brought me back. Particularly Chuck, as we had to drive through white out conditions from the heavy snow storm we were driving though to get home.
Freudian Slip's last concert of 2009 will be held the day after Christmas at a new venue called the Fifth Amendment in Worcester, MA and we hope you can attend to show your support for us! Until 2010 "FS" fans..........

We had a blast night performing at Fados Irish Pub (Twin River Casino) in Lincoln, RI. Though it was inclement weather (thanks to the first snow of the season), some of you came out anyway and saw us. We want to thank you for showing up and enjoying yourself to our songs. Mainly non stop dancing, which made us feel good. We also sang "Happy Birthday" to 3 different fans, which is a record for us! lol Next up, my solo acoustic performance in Plainville this coming Saturday (see our Calendar) at 8pm. Next full concert with the band will be at a new venue called The Fifth Amendment in downtown Worcester, MA on Saturday, December 26th.
I discussed with Jay about perhaps writing some more new songs. Once the holidays roll away, we will start up again. I still have to show the band Jay and I's new song "Light of the Sun" at next band rehearsal and I think you'll like it as well! Until next time, "FS" fans......

A big thank you to those of you who attended the charity concert at the Vegas Lounge in Norwood, MA this past Saturday. So many people showed up with bags of canned goods for the Norwood Food Pantry, as well as cash donation. I found out around 250 familes in the Norwood area depend on this. Please continue in giving to your local food pantries, as  the holiday season is now approaching rapidly, as well as the situation with our economy.
I opened up the concert with a hour long solo acoustic set which seemed to have gotten the crowd pumped. As much as I would have loved to have all of Freudian Slip there, they couldn't make it. I did stuff that I had people sing along too (which I'm sure they did), as well as people dancing. Though it was great hearing the applause, I think the applause should really go out to those who came and gave. Found out before the show that a local paper was there covering the concert. Many thanks goes to my friend Joe Hart and his band the Blue Mangoes for allowing me to share the stage w/them for this great cause.
My band's next big show will be at Fado's Irish Pub (Twin River Casino) on December 5th, so we are certainly looking forward to that, as we are working on new songs for this. Still kind of bummed that we couldn't get a booking there for New Years Eve. We'll just try again next year at this venue, as well as others. Until next time, "FS" fans......
