FPS at the Pirate's Patio in Summer 2004!


Spring 2007

Updated 3/9/07
Ok, I slacked a little last year on the website and the blog. Sue me, we were busy! I'm trying to get on top of shit early this year. Just as Steve and I have been practicing for two months already. TWO MONTHS! The early schedule for summer is up, though still empty. Stay tuned....

You can also check out our MySpace site at www.myspace.com/fpsband. Also look for the Implantz down on the pier this summer! That's right, Steve and I have rejoined the Pud Pounder to stir some serious summer rockin'! You can check out the Implantz MySpace (maintained by Pete) site at www.myspace.com/theimplantz. So come down to the beach, hang out with some tunes, and get sunburnt! (or at least burnt!)

Background

For those unaware, For Pete’s Sake is a duet with Steve Dunphy(guitar) and Bob Desjardins (bass).   It’s named after Pete Witham who left the Implantz (a band with the three of us) for greater musical aspirations with Spookie Daly Pride. Steve and I started playing out together last summer in Old Orchard Beach, just for something to do while Pete does his thang on VH1. We play a unique mix of classic rock, classic country, and alternative music. Come to one of our shows, and we'll play something you like!

2005 Demo

The demo was recorded over two weekends at the Desjardins residence in Saco, ME. We tracked with an Alesis ADAT Type II 8 track recorder, then mixed down to a Fostex D-5 2 track master DAT recorder. It came out pretty good! When we burnt the cd at WMPG studios in Portland, ME, we picked up a lot of hiss. I will try to burn the master cd again at some point in the future.

Here are the songs on the demo:

High-Bandwidth 44khz 16-bit WAV Format
Wrong Way
Folsom Prison Blues (into Poor Heart by Phish)
Stuck in the Middle with You
Yer So Bad
Get Drunk and Screw
Normal-Bandwidth 128Kbps MP3 Format
