A little over 12 years ago Dave Foster had it with his old band (Flat Dog), a college goof that well outlasted the college years, and decided to go it alone. With that intention, he somehow ended up becoming 1/3 of a trio with drummer Tom DeVito and bassist Russ Alderson, debuting as the Dave Foster Three and after committing to being an actual band, Bubble. They played around NYC for the next year gaining a local buzz in the press. In 1995 they put out a self-released, self-titled 6 song EP that garnered some nice words from the local press and indie pop fanzines. They attempted to follow up the EP by recording an ambitious full length album that spanned 16 songs, many sessions and disintegrated along with the lineup after a year. For the next few years Dave, Tom and Television bassist Fred Smith worked on a scaled back version of the abandoned full length disc, using some of the old material as well as adding newer tunes. This eventually became their debut full length CD "Bash Bish", which was released on their own Oomph! label in 2000 to more critical praise. During the recording of that album bassist Matt Lindsey (Swamp Cabbage, Amy Speace) and guitarist Rich Feridun (Amy Speace) joined the group and, along with alternating keys players Jon Spurney (Stew, Amy Rigby) and Max Low (Sad Little Stars). played shows over the next few years. In recent years Dave and Tom have been finishing Dave's solo CD follow up to "Bash Bish" called "Blue Circle" (to be released in 2007). Dave and Tom are also finishing up an album's worth of as yet unreleased band tracks to be completed in the coming year. In addition to all the recording time, Bubble has also been performing faithful recreations of Beatles music (full albums and a selection of hits) live for the past year for sell out crowds both old and young.
