The Dregs are in the process of firming up a couple of performance dates for December to do some "traditional" Dregs music instead of "Christmas" Dregs music. Look for an update soon.

The Dregs want to know what songs you think we should sing for our Christmas shows. We are looking at learning 1-3 new "traditional" songs and 1-3 "novelty" songs for the shows (plus a few originals). What do you think we should sing?

My three favorite traditionals:

Or if you like a little less Christ in your Christmas, there's an excellent arrangement of the Witches Chant by Faith and the Muse. I can't find it online to share, but I have a recording.
