Dredg Lyrics - Matroshka (The Ornament)

2009-04-19T06:38:00.000-07:00

I was looking down at you smiling up at me
For once I held you tight, but shadow hands grabbed at me
You're head was in the clouds, now those clouds are in your head
It's when you needed me, so I listened to want you said

Look another year went by,
They keep passing by,
But damn I didn't even die,
To hold it so I've grown,
I fought time but lost

It was love like a callous you scarred enough to be
Tough and immune, your body adapts you see
To all above my head, and all below my feet
No that's one freedom you'll never take from me

Look another year went by,
They keep passing by,
But damn I didn't even die,
To hold it so I've grown,
I fought time but lost

To criticize and judge, how did I end up here,
With these standards I'm forced to love, make me disappear.

Hold tight, hold tight

To criticize and judge, how did I end up here,
With these standards I'm forced to love, make me disappear.
To criticize and judge, how did I end up here,
With these standards I'm forced to love make me disappear.

Hold tight, hold tight, hold tight, hold tight
Look another year went by
Hold tight, hold tight, hold tight, hold tight

Dredg Lyrics - Hungover On A Tuesday

2009-04-19T06:37:00.000-07:00

So long to the hard and stormy weather
It's time for a cleansing
Nice try, but you can't avoid this forever
You know it makes you feel good

Feeding on your soul
You'll search for a cure
You'll want to be sure
You don't lose control
You'll want to be sure
That this is really you

So long since I can't even remember
It's time for renewal
You know that you won't have fun after
You know it makes you feel good

Feeding on your soul
You'll search for a cure
You'll want to be sure
You don't lose control
You'll want to be sure
That this is really you

Fell towards the fire
Shielding myself from sin
Things are looking brighter
This is the way I want to live

So long to the hard and stormy weather
It's time for a cleansing
Nice try, but you can't control me forever

Feeding on your soul
You'll search for a cure
You'll want to be sure
You don't lose control
I'll always be sure
You'll want to be sure
So long to the end
You'll always be there
But you are gone to me

Dredg Lyrics - Jamais Vu

2009-04-19T06:35:00.000-07:00

I looked to the sky
Saw my body die
Gotta reappear up there
It's where I want to be
In the university
I've found I've found my own college
I've found I've found a way to resolve this

I'm not inside you
You're all around me
Is this what you needed to have to comfort you
I waited all this time above you

Is this what you wanted
Is this what you needed to have
Take all that I've known
Is this what you wanted
Is this what you need me to fear
Take all that I've found...

I'm not inside you
You're all around me
Is this what you needed to have to comfort you
I waited all this time above you

I looked to the ground
Was pleased with what I found
Gotta reappear up here
It's where I'll always be
In the university
I've found I've found all my problems
I'm gone I'm gone finally solved this

I'm not inside you
You're all around me
Is this what you needed to have to comfort you
I waited all this time above you

Dredg Lyrics - Spitshine

2009-04-19T06:02:00.002-07:00

I harmonize with a million screaming laughs
That haunted those before us
Preaching symphonies while the chorus yelled: "Unity!"

It's based on facts, It's based on facts

You spit-shined my corroded halo
Then packaged it away
You spit-shined my corroded halo,
Then left it to decay.

Will you watch your step
The boring story's left
You're feeling lost
"In here," she said
"Come in here"
The pain won't last

You spit-shined my corroded halo,
Then packaged it away
You spit-shined my corroded halo,
Then left it to decay.

Take this weight off my shoulders
And move it to my brain
Take this weight off my shoulders
And move it to my brain

You spit-shined my corroded halo,
Then packaged it away
You spit-shined my corroded halo,
Then left it to decay.
You spit-shined my corroded halo,
Then packaged it away
You spit-shined my corroded halo,
Then left it to decay.

Dredg Lyrics - Planting Seeds

2009-04-19T06:02:00.001-07:00

She's to blame I'll erase routine,
With a spark to ignite the flame,
And in this struggle of guilt to tame,
It's freedom I'll obtain,
She tied me up,
Removed my crown,
Bittered all good taste,
Sorry for everything I've done,
I can't deny it's state

Look at what I have found
A seashell in a sea of shells
I'm good at planting my own seeds
To sprout endless hell
It's dark like Poe

Forgiveness came we embrace the key,
Found water to douse the flame,
We ended our difference of soul and brain,
Forever we are changed,
I've just set out on a brand new race,
Can we keep the pace,
I can't believe what we've become,
I'll leave without a trace.

Look at what I have found
A seashell in a sea of shells
I'm good at planting my own seeds
To sprout endless hell
It's dark like Poe

Yeaah yeeeaaahhh
Yeaah yeeeaaahhh... ohh ohh ohh

Look at what I have found
A seashell in a sea of shells
I'm good at planting my own seeds
To sprout endless hell
It's dark like Poe

Leave without a trace, I'll leave without a trace.

Dredg Lyrics - Sang Real

2009-04-19T06:01:00.003-07:00

I'm the addict on the corner
I'm the lawyer in the tower
I'm the body with the coroner
No, the leader with all the power
You're the pillow, the cool side
The sand during high tide
The cocktail, poolside
The water when clouds collide

From the inside out we were formed
From the inside out we will fall
Soon this all will come to an end

I'm a local but a foreigner
Still the addict yet I'm sober
Still the body with the coroner
Many friends yet still a loner
You're the pillow, the cool side
The sand during high tide
The cocktail, poolside
The water when clouds collide

From the inside out we were formed
From the inside out we will fall
Soon this all will come to an end
Soon this all will come to an end

From the inside out we were formed
From the inside out we will fall
Soon this all will come to an end
Soon this all will come to an end

Dredg Lyrics - The Tanbark Is Hot Lava

2009-04-19T06:01:00.001-07:00

The old returns
While the new can bore
You are the one who fell
Into a self created hell
We've worn it out
It took time to realize
It's a chore to recognize
What your world could take
It's overgrown

Take this all away now
Real soon you will take it all the way down

The old returns
While the new can bore
You are the one who feell
Into a self created hell
There is no way out
When you build a stubborn shell
That shields you from any help
We've worn it out
You tried to maximize
But it comes as no surprise
You hurled a stake
Into your own dome

Take this all away now
Real soon you will take it all the way down

Bring her back
She was beautiful
Bring her back

Dredg Lyrics - Zebraskin

2009-04-19T06:00:00.002-07:00

One Two Three Four

I wonder while I'm running around again
I took my chances
I may have lost my best friend
Yeah I wonder
Like sprinting on a frozen pond... I took my chances
I may have lost my best friend

A couple of drinks mid-day mid-day mid-day
Haven't felt this way this way since yesterday
A couple of drinks I sway I sway I sway
Haven't felt this way since yesterday

I wonder while I'm running around again
I took my chances
I may have lost my best friend
Yeah I wonder
Like sprinting on a frozen pond I took my chances
I may have lost my best friend

(a couple of drinks, a couple of drinks)
(a couple of drinks, a couple of drinks)

A couple of drinks mid-day mid-day mid-day
Haven't felt this way this way since yesterday
Beginning to sink and fade and fade and fade
There's nothing that I would trade to feel this way

I wonder while I'm running around again
I took my chances
I may have lost my best friend
Yeah I wonder
Like sprinting on a frozen pond I took my chances
I may have lost my best friend

(a couple of drinks, a couple of drinks)

I wonder while I'm running around again
I took my chances
I may have lost my best friend
Yeah I wonder
Like sprinting on a frozen pond I took my chances
I may have lost my best friend

I wonder... running around again
I wonder... may have lost my best friend
I wonder... running around again
I wonder... may have found my best friend

Dredg Lyrics - Not That Simple

2009-04-19T06:00:00.001-07:00

Remove my hands and feet
Watch me crawl on my stubs
Throw me to the street
Watch me fall on down head first

It's not that simple
I've needed this from the start
To guide my way
To be okay
It's made life simple
I've needed this from the start to wake up

If all else fails
If all turns to dust
Set sail on a ship built from trust
If all else fails
And all starts to rust
Set sail on a ship built for us

Its time to retreat
I sawed it down to the bone
The canyons are too deep yeah
Decided to run like a child
Decided to run to rescue
Took too long to wake up

If all else fails
If all turns to dust
Set sail on a ship built from trust
If all else fails
And all starts to rust
Set sail on a ship built for us

It's not that simple
I've needed this from the start
To guide my way
To be okay
It's made life simple
I've needed this from the start to wake up

If all else fails
If all turns to dust
Set sail on a ship built from trust
If all else fails
And all starts to rust
Set sail on a ship built for us
For us for us

Dredg Lyrics - Catch Without Arms

2009-04-19T05:59:00.002-07:00

I'm not your star
I'm not that beam of light
Here to save your life
To make your wallet fat
While mine's on a diet
It's not my greatest care
But simple needs are scarce
It's never-ending
It really seems unfair
But lately I don't care
I don't care about much
I've given up trying

So sing about love
Sing about lust
So they will care
It's the same difference
That's what happens when you play catch without arms
It's what sets, sets, sets us apart
That's what happens when you compromise your art
It's what sets, sets, sets us apart

We've got this far
I don't know if you care
But I think that you should swear
Or something of the sorts
Show me your trying

So sing about love
Sing about lust
So they will care
It's the same difference
That's what happens when you play catch without arms
It's what sets, sets, sets us apart
That's what happens when you compromise your art
It's what sets, sets, sets us apart

Set the bait so they will bite it
If there's a hook they can't deny it
Sing about love so they can feel it
Sing about love so they can sing it
Sing it

That's what happens when you play catch without arms
It's what sets, sets, sets us apart
That's what happens when you compromise your art
It's what sets, sets, sets us apart

I'm not your star
I'm not that beam of light
Here to save your life
Oh no
Not your star
Not that beam of light
Here to save your life
Oh no

Dredg Lyrics - Bug Eyes

2009-04-19T05:59:00.001-07:00

Bring back those good old days
Nothing feels right
Nothing ever goes my way
I threw my future away
Now I'll walk alone out here in the cold
Wandering astray
Where's my future
Gonna need a home
You'd expect the same now wouldn't you
Wouldn't you

Your journey back to birth
Is haunting you
It's haunting you
Your departure from the Earth
Is haunting you
It's haunting you

Only those who accept
Will find that acceptance in return
We have been trimmed down like hedges
Told just to sit
And wilt and spit at each other from a distance
With constant resistance from you
Gonna need a home
You'd expect the same now wouldn't you
Wouldn't you

Your journey back to birth
Is haunting you
It's haunting you
Your departure from the Earth
Is haunting you
It's haunting you

It's been ten years strong
That's much too long
It's time to do something good for my health
Time to do something good myself
It's been ten years strong
That's much too long
It's time to do something good for my health
Time to do something good myself

I've wasted all of this time
I've wasted all of this time

Your journey back to birth
It's haunting you
It's haunting you
Your departure from the Earth
It's haunting you
It's haunting you
Your journey back to birth
It's haunting you
It's haunting you
Your departure from the Earth
It's haunting you
It's haunting you

Dredg Lyrics - Ode To The Sun

2009-04-19T05:58:00.000-07:00

It's gone from light to gray
But I'll move those clouds away
Letting the sun shine through
In this ode to you
Let the demons have their place
If so it's angels you'll create
And disguised within the dark
Light will wait
My heart I owe you my soul

Will you please accept
Please accept this honor
This is all for you
Transcend

We flip towards the sun
Wheels skidding on the road
A flowing sea of red
The whole city groans
My heart I owe you my soul

Will you please accept
Please accept this honor
This is all for you
Transcend
Will you please accept
Please accept this honor
This is all for you
Transcend

Fiasco!

Rubberneck passing motorist
Mangled till cankerous
Repair this tattered skin
Hold it in your hand
You've already glistened through the window
You've already set us all free... free... free

Please accept
Please accept this honor
This is all for you
Transcend
Will you please accept
Please accept this honor
This is all for you
Transcend

Fiasco!

Dredg Lyrics - The Canyon Behind Her

2009-04-19T05:57:00.002-07:00

Does anybody feel this way
Does anybody feel like I do
Does anybody feel this way
Does anybody feel like I do

I built a wall
It stretched one thousand miles
Set it off
(Massacre)
It's holding up the roof
Breast feed your heart
Set it off

I saw a distant port
With no water to support
Burning the bridge between

Does anybody feel this way
Does anybody feel like I do
Does anybody feel this way
Does anybody feel like I do

Never content nor satisfied
Tensions of self
The massacre changed history
Borderline paranoia
Yelling at their own rights
Set it off

Does anybody feel this way
Does anybody feel like I do
Though half of me is gone
The lonesome heart is there

I cannot find the other half
I cannot find the other half
I cannot find the other half
I cannot find the other half

Dredg Lyrics - Whoa Is Me

2009-04-19T05:57:00.001-07:00

The only things surrounding you now
Are the circular memories
Infect your conscience
They are the make up of your worries
Regrets and doubts

Elective betrayal of your person
Radiates confidence
Shine with silence
And shadow the ones below

This drought is leaving me
With cracked soil and brown leaves
Floating on a dry lake bed
With a dry mouth and foggy head
Waiting for the snow
When the water comes
I will overflow
I will overflow
When the water comes
I will overflow

There's one more thing
I forgot to tell you
Worries and doubts
Will only help you
In the long run
You'll shadow the ones below

This drought is leaving me
With cracked soil and brown leaves
Floating on a dry lake bed
With a dry mouth and foggy head
Waiting for the snow
When the water comes
I will overflow
I will overflow
When the water comes
I will overflow

Dredg Lyrics - It Only Took A Day

2009-04-19T05:56:00.002-07:00

Think we know
Oblivious though
Unified clones
Sit like stones
Up on thrones
Of fool's gold
Looking bold
But all alone

Restore our needed shelter

Sitting sideways
Something deep
Wading water
Pants at my knees
Fading with growth
Lie awake
Buried stones
All alone

Restore our needed shelter
Our flawless endeavors
To be alone
To be alone

Sitting sideways
Something deep
Wading water
Passing my knees
Sitting sideways
Something deep
Wading water
Pants at my knees
Fading with growth
Lie awake
Lie awake
Lie awake

Dredg Lyrics - Of The Room

2009-04-19T05:56:00.001-07:00

White cloth, black napkins
Wood chairs surround me
Wood tables, foggy sign
In front with no light

Night falls beneath candle light

Cast shadows
Insence fragrance
From the corner of the room
Cloudy senses Stale light below
Beneath me

Night falls beneath candle light
White squalls beneath winter skies
Night falls beneath winter skies
White squalls beneath winter skies

Faceless crowd of elderly beings
Roses sprouting yellow glow
Subconcious into the light

Night falls beneath candle light
White squalls beneath winter skies

Dredg Lyrics - Scissor Lock

2009-04-19T05:55:00.002-07:00

I think I'm awake
Rolling on my blanket
I am sinking into the bed
Light around me
Beautful washes of pulsating color
Buzzing white noise
It sounds like one hundred bees

I too once thought the radio played
Let's act like children while we sleep paralyzed
I too once thought the radio played
Let's act like children while we sleep paralyzed

Pulsing
You control it
Body's asleep
And your mind is awake

I too once thought the radio played
Let's act like children while we sleep paralyzed
I too once thought the radio played
Let's act like children while we sleep paralyzed

I too once thought the radio played
Let's act like children while we sleep paralyzed
I too once thought the radio played
Let's act like children while we sleep paralyzed

Dredg Lyrics - Eighteen People Living In Harmony

2009-04-19T05:55:00.001-07:00

The opera is over
Singers have all gone home
Seats are empty
The kitchen is closed

The sidewalks are sprayed down
The blinds are pulled down
The foundation's unstable
The wrecking ball is back
Quiet business vacancy
Quiet business vacancy

Rents are rising
Our lease is up
Culture is down

Symphony's concluded
The instruments are all cased up
The notes are silent
The music's still apparent

Rents are rising
Our lease is up
Culture is down
Spirits are jaded

Art is dying
Is art dead?
Art is dying
Is it dead?
Believe it
We need it to move on

A one track mind in a one way town
Let's go ahead and gentrify
We let art die with robot minds
Steal the brush and paint boundary lines

A stale kind the people we'll find
Walking in single file line
I think its time to finally rewind
Lets go ahead we might as well

Rents are rising
Our lease is up
Culture is down
Spirits are jaded

Dredg Lyrics - Convalescent

2009-04-19T05:54:00.000-07:00

This lonely old man had heart
Resting grey hairs on wrinkled arms
With nothing but a stool to hold up his back
Skinny legs with Japanese mileage
Crossed at the ankles
He's unaware

Maybe you've never seen it
Maybe you've never been through it
It's the only way to understand it

Unaware of his surroundings
Youth, it passed
Swarming like wolfs to a fresh kill
The scented tracks
He's just scared about dying

Maybe you've never seen it
Maybe you've never been through it
It's the only way to understand it
Save your clever statements
Brave yourself if you want in
It's the only way to understand it

Too bad
Too bad
Too bad
So sad
Days have come to an end
Where all
Where all has been lost

Maybe you've never seen it
Maybe you've never been through it
It's the only way to understand it
Save your clever statements
Brave yourself if you want in
It's the only way to understand it
To understand it

Dredg Lyrics - Sorry But It's Over

2009-04-19T05:53:00.003-07:00

Distorted and complicated
I'm sorry but its over
Essential to awaken
I'm leaving
Here we are
That's what it's all about
I'm sorry but its over
To love here and to love this
I'm finally breathing

Before you go
There is something more to say
Before you go
There is something more to say

Persistent resentment
I'm sorry but its over
Seduction for destruction
I'm finally breathing

Before you go
There is something more to say
Before you go
There is something more to say
Before you go
There is something more to say

Dredg Lyrics - Triangle

2009-04-19T05:53:00.001-07:00

We're born into silence and let it all be
Lift your anchor and just float astray
Born into silence and let it all be
Fortune in silence

Watch it explode
While fragments of ironies examples fly
And hit the shore
And tyranny's torn
From the podiums where leaders stand
But rule no more

Plead with nothing... Why don't we lecture about something
Protest the way we're passive today

Watch it explode
While it's not impossible
For flowers to bloom and grow next to graves
And babies are born
In the same buildings where people go
To pass away
Pass away

Plead with nothing... Why don't we lecture about something
Protest the way we're passive today

We live like penguins in the desert
Why can't we live like tribes
We live like penguins in the desert
Why can't we live like tribes

We live like penguins in the desert
Why can't we live like tribes
We live like penguins in the desert
Why can't we live like tribes

Born into silence and let it all be
Lift your anchor and just float astray
Born into silence and let it all be
Fortune in silence

Dredg Lyrics - Sanzen

2009-04-19T05:51:00.000-07:00

I can't even concentrate on this
It's overthought, anticipated
The pen ink is running dry
It's been thrown to paper and wasted
Creativity has been blocked and overtasted
Maybe in time I'll appreciate it

Hold on, hold on
We'll be with you soon

These papers are stuck in this book
Until they're torn out and pasted
To the inside of my memory
Where I can later look and see them in a new gallery
Where they can later be viewed and appreciated

Hold on, hold on
We'll be with you soon
We'll be with you

Longing for what has been lost
Longing for what hasn't been obtained
It's a small cost
Forgot the past, lost the future, only now remains

Hold on, hold on
We'll be with you soon
We'll be with you

Dredg Lyrics - Same Ol Road

2009-04-19T05:49:00.000-07:00

Here we go down that same old road again
Sympathy unfolds the shell that holds all the beauty within
Here we go down that same old road again
A memory, a regret, a hope

Here we go down that same old road again
Empathy controls the wind that blows and tickles our skin
A memory, a regret, a hope, a stimulant

Recent it seems
We must push on, we must push on
Though we bleed
We must push on, we must push on

All you need is a modest house in a modest neighborhood
In a modest town where honest people dwell
Making the cleanest energy for the greenest plants to grow
Richest soil that is drenched with the freshest rain
Then you should sit in your backyard
Watch clouds peak over the tallest mountain tops
Cuz they unveil honest opinions about the stars

We must push on, we must push on
Recent it seems
We must push on, we must push on
Though we bleed
We must push on, we must push on

All you need is a modest house
In a modest neighborhood
All you need is a modest house
In a modest neighborhood
All you need is a modest house
In a modest neighborhood
All you need is a modest house
In a modest neighborhood
All you need is a modest house
In a modest neighborhood

Dredg Lyrics - Yatahaze

2009-04-19T05:47:00.000-07:00

Climbing
building us up
tearing me down
lifted back up we are climbing
all of this time
drifting right back to the ground

Suddenly, suddenly, suddenly, suddenly

Questioning, and saying
our opinions, they're failing
they're constantly changing
our ignorance, remaining
we're hoping, and waiting
we're living, but dying
while tring to find out
my meaning isn't planned out
come to the conclusion
might as well be an illusion
while trying to find out
I did nothing, but shut out

Dredg Lyrics - Penguins In The Desert

2009-04-19T05:42:00.000-07:00

So you say,
so you say it right.
So you say,
so you say it right.

Waiting Below the sun,
getting brighter.(?)
Downstairs I dwell.

So you say,
so you say it right.
So you say,
So you say.

Ceiling slowly squeezing me tighter,
I'll lay down, but won't run
Hoping now, that this can get brigter,
and that time will come.

So you say,
so you say it right.
So you say,
So you say.

the river is damned,
I can't recorrect my path.
Through this obstructed venture,
it isn't flowing yet.
Caught in his stare,
electricity travels, through my wires where,
they're reaching for it's core, electricity.

Feeling sorry for yourself again

Dredg Lyrics - Lechium

2009-04-19T05:41:00.001-07:00

Yes take time
To realize what you have
Yes i did
But suspended
And now i hang
Beneath the ground that we have made
For us
To walk on.

See me now
Crawl away, crawl away
See me now
Crawl away

Yes take time
To realize what you have
Content
But descended
And now i swim
Beneath currents of hope and faith
Now it is time
To surface.

?

See me now
Crawl away, crawl away
See me now
Crawl with me
Belive me now
Crawl away, crawl away
Come crawl with me

Dredg Lyrics - Symbol Song

2009-04-19T05:36:00.000-07:00

He said: patience is the key to
For a change to ensue
Warm the arctic cold
And drop down
To the ground
Wait for the sound
Of the cold

Take these words
You'll have your day
Live it as your last

He said: love will build your heart and
Bring you up from the sand
Now i wish to go, and settle
Pray for reform
It's all we are
It's all we are

Take these words
Be on your way
You will find your
Now...

He said: faith, distrust, and reason
With this you'll be kneeling
Before the world
And drop down
To the ground
It's all we are
It's all we are

Take these words
Be on your way
You will find your
Now...

Dredg is a progressive alternative band from Los Gatos, California, USA formed in 1993. Their first studio album, Leitmotif, was released by the Universal music label on September 11, 2001. Prior to that, it had been self-released by the members of the band. After the album hit music stores, Dredg acquired an almost immediate cult following thanks to Leitmotif’s unique sound and concept. There has also been a movie planned for release as a music video for the entire album, though the project has been scrapped due to the death of the lead actor. El Cielo, Dredg’s proper Interscope debut, arrived in autumn 2002, and Deftones producer Terry Date was at the helm for their 2005 effort Catch Without Arms. A video for the single “Bug Eyes” was released. In the spring of 2006, Dredg played on the Taste of Chaos tour. In November of 2006, Dredg released “Live at the Fillmore.”

Industry Demos is a collection of four songs from 2001 that Dredg recorded before they were signed to impress record labels. The four songs are “Of the Room”, “Redrawing the Island Map”, “Running Through Propellers”, and “The Papal Insignia.” Despite the fact that the band has not spoke out about these songs, and has not played them as of late (although “Propellers” has made an appearance on setlists prior to the release of CWOA), these songs remain very popular with fans. Of the Room was rerecorded and released on Dredg’s second album El Cielo.

El Cielo, their second album, which was released on October 8, 2002, is also a concept album. Prominent influences on the album’s concept and themes are painter Salvador Dalí’s life and a particular painting, Dream Caused by the Flight of a Bumblebee around a Pomegranate One Second Before Awakening (the first track on the album is named “Brushstroke:dcbtfoabaaposba”).

On June 21, 2005, Dredg’s third album, Catch Without Arms, was released. A video for the single “Bug Eyes” was released. For the spring of 2006, Dredg played on the Taste of Chaos tour, which also featured Deftones, Atreyu, Thrice, and Story of the Year as headlining bands. Also, Dredg headlined their own tour with Ours and Ambulette to hit cities that they did not tour in during the TOC tour (they came on the TOC tour about mid-way through).

Dredg also composed the score for the 2006 independent film, Waterborne. [1]

In addition to music, Dredg also creates artwork, which is available for viewing on the band’s official website. Drew Roulette’s works have twice appeared on shirts released by Artus.

On May 11, 2006, Dredg recorded their performance for a live CD entitled “Live at The Fillmore”. Dredg announced in a MySpace bulletin on October 9, 2006 that the CD is available for pre-sale [2] and that it will be released on November 7 2006. Remixes that currently exist are Dan The Automator’s “Sang Real” and Serj Tankian’s “Ode To The Sun.” Both songs are off Catch Without Arms. The “Sang Real” remix is being made available as an added bonus for purchasing “Live at the Fillmore” off of iTunes. It is currently unknown what will become of the “Ode to the Sun” remix, or if the “Sang Real” remix will see wider release.

In the beginning of August 2006, Dredg announced that they would be playing two “special events” back-to-back on September 14 and September 15, 2006 at The Catalyst in Santa Cruz, California. It was later revealed that the special events would be Leitmotif performed in its entirety on the first night and El Cielo in its entirety on the second night. Both nights would also features selections from Catch Without Arms. Recordings of these shows can be obtained via archive.org in FLAC format (the links can be found on the news page of traversing.net). Videos of the two shows are currently being edited by fans who recorded the shows. An early version of “It’s not worth it” was performed on each night.

On November 7 through November 10, 2006, Dredg debuted a new song, “Ireland,” at instore performances that were held in California to promote the release of their first live album, Live At The Fillmore. Along with the new song, selections from Catch Without Arms & El Cielo were played, as well as “The Warbler,” which has only been officially released as a live track on the Fillmore CD.

The band appeared in the 2007 membership list for The Coterie with honorary membership.

On February 14, 2007, Dredg issued a new update on their website detailing production on a new album. Dredg also released several working song titles to go along with “Ireland.” The titles listed were: “Hurricane Felix”, “Pieces of Gold”, “Wondrous Miracle”, “Fleeing to Mexico”, “It’s Not Worth It”, “Long Days and Vague Clues”, “2001”, and “Fucking Smile Pt. 2.” The final song being a reference to a B-Side from the El Cielo sessions entitled simply “Fucking Smile.” In the same announcement, Dredg said that they will debut some of the new songs during a handfull of live shows in California, during the first week of April.

The name Dredg comes from the English word dredge, which in its verbal usage, means to unearth or widen/deepen a river or channel (the device used for doing this is also called a dredger). The band picked the name in its earlier, heavier days, when they thought it was very descriptive of their sound.
