This kinda sucks to write but Jim is no longer in the band. If you want the lowdown check out the FAQ page for our simplified explanation. As for 800 Octane the rock will continue as we have temporarily enlisted David from Rhythm of ’84 to fill in on drums while we look for a full time replacement. We can’t thank him (and his band) enough for letting us borrow him for some shows. This also means we are looking for a full time drummer! If you or someone you know thinks you have what it takes to play drums for 800 Octane send us an e-mail. Live experience is not required but you do have some big shoes to fill so please don’t suck.

Crap!!! The water pump on our van broke this evening and we had to cancel tonight’s Govt. Camp show as well as tomorrow’s Redding show. This is only the second time we’ve ever had to cancel a show due to a van breakdown in our 8 years as a band. Hopefully it will be fixed in time for Bend though!

You might have noticed a few shows have disappeared from our calendar

Just got back from Warped Tour and I gotta say it was pretty cool. The $3 Mountain Dews were a bit excessive but the sheer number of good bands more than made up for it. In local show news we are playing with H2O at the B Complex on July 30th!!!

Happy 4th of July. We aren’t doing anything particularly special but we do have piles of new 2002 Tour pictures posted. Most have little or nothing to do with music but that’s half the fun. Check them out and then remind yourself that Kevin is the man.
