A few show changes to report. Sadly it seems that DOA has cancelled their slot on the 5/4 show in Richland but we are still going to make the drive up there and play anyway! Atomic Records is enlisting some local bands to play with us as you read this. Also, for the 5/17 show in Bend both Grey is Gray *and* Red Tide Affair have cancelled! Fortunately the Confederats have stepped up to the plate. It’s now going to be a 3 band show featuring Thirty 3, The Confederats and 800 Octane. Should be a rad show! By the way we have new long sleeve shirts on the merchandise page!

This bit of news is nothing but thank you’s. First off thanks to everyone who came to our CD Release show at the Paris. You made that the best show we’ve ever had and we can’t thank you enough for the support! The next thank you goes to Rick Emerson. We sent him a CD and he’s said all kinds of flattering things about it on his radio show! Speaking of radio, our last big thank you goes to Daria and Gustav on KNRK for having us on the air, playing our songs and being cool to hang out with for our big interview!

So did anyone hear us on the Rick Emerson show? Man, that was totally cool to hear our songs being played and wanted to thank Rick for the props! Check out his show from 12:00 until 3:00 on 1080 AM! Anyway, three more days until the official release of our new album AND our big release show at the Paris Theater in Portland! No Thanks To You will be tearing up the stage that evening and if you’ve seen them before then you know they rock. If you didn’t know then you will find out. Thirty 3 will also be playing and it turns out it’s their new album release as well so bring some extra cash. The fourth (and yet unnamed) band features at two ex-memebers of Fistfull and has promised us they will rock. If that wasn’t enough entertainment for you we are having our friend Kelvis serve as DJ in between bands. He has promised us a mix of rap, punk, old school metal and some “really wild shit”. Aside from the host of awesome bands and music we are going to be selling our new CD at a slightly discounted price that evening! Who can resist a sale? Last but not least we have brand new long sleeve shirts AND all sizes of our flaming 800 ball t-shirt onour merchandise page!

Thanks to all who attended the Kick Back Punks chat last week! Apologies to those who had to endure the weight of Dave’s insulting and smack talking! Speaking of things to do for computer literate people … our new MP3’s are available! Get them from our download page now! If you live in Portland make plans to attend our CD Release show on 4/26. New long sleeve shirts are on the way next week as well as other sizes of the flaming 800 Ball T-shirt.

Sounds like we got quite a few of you with our little April Fool’s joke! We awoke on Monday to dozens of messages from all over the place with people saying how excited they were for us and offered their congratulations! Slowly though, as the day wore on the follow up e-mails and phone calls started rolling in with people calling us cold hearted bastards for deceving them! In the words of the A-Team “I love it when a plan comes together.” So for the record
