We're 1!

A year ago this week was the band's first show with the present lineup. Happy birthday to us!

Coming off some quality time in the studio and fun shows at the Lilypad (our first acoustic-y set!) and Jacques (or first show in a gay bar!). Now we're gearing up for a …

Studio !!

It's a big help that we all feel really good about our songs, coming off the gig a couple of weeks ago. Things are heating up a bit, we've all only become more inspired and more turned on by what we're doing the more we keep at it. This seems like an ideal time to start …

About Dirigible Ego

Dirigible Ego is the music project of Boston-based singer/songwriter Pete Chvany, also of Boston darkwave band Lilac Ambush.

February 2008

February 2008 marks my first "album-length" release, a collection of instrumentals titled Themes For A Defunct Leather Bar. I'll be putting out a collection of pop songs a little later this spring. Watch this space! Or hit my main site, http://www.dirigibleego.com

April 2008

April 2008. Guess I won't be calling this a "solo" project. Eric Karnowski will be joining me on bass and maybe some other instruments for the next batch of songs I work on. We're rehearsing in my home studio regularly as I teach him the new material. Welcome, Eric!

May 2008

May 2008. Dirigible Ego is now a classic four-piece rock outfit, with the addition of Ryan Donnelly (ex The Internal Struggle) on lead guitar and Doug Allen on drums. We've been in the rehearsal studio working on five or six originals and a couple of covers, and the …

Brace Yourselves

Most of the stuff I've added here on Virb in the last few weeks was backlog. A big reason for getting it out the door and letting other people listen to it was so that I could move on to new things.

I had this feeling that I had more songs to write--snippets of ideas …

New Stuff

Hey folks. How's it going?

I've put quite a bit of music up here on Virb lately. Close to 90 minutes of stuff, in fact. It's organized in two collections, one a kind of "pop" album with lyrics and vocals and arrangements and such, the other a set of related …
