All your tube are belong to us
Here’s an interesting video we stumbled across on YouTube. Juggling? Check. Unicycling? Check. Devil Sticks? Check. Completely kick ass? Check!
Show Listing
Portland’s own 800 Octane is darker than your average punk band. Inspired by the Misfits and b-movies, this band is eminiscent of AFI around the release of Black Sails in the Sunset, It’s definitely working that Halloween theme but not quite overplaying it. Let’s hope it stays that way, because the world does not need another Davey Havoc. (Willemette Week / PR)
No, we aren’t dead… Blogger just sucks.
Running your own web site really sucks sometime. About two months ago we deleted most of our web site and switched it to a Google Blogger account since it was much easier to update. Over the last few weeks we started getting e-mails here and there saying that our web site wasn’t working and just went to the Google homepage. We couldn’t seem to duplicate the problem from any computer, but if people can’t see the site that’s no good. After going through the pains of moving everything to blogger, here we are moving it all back. Damn the internet sucks sometimes.

Flyers, flyers and more flyers
You want to see some old flyers? How about some new ones? How about every one we’ve ever appeared on? Ok, here you go. 13 years to collect and only 5 minutes to publish.
Want to see what boredom looks like?
How’s this for too much information? A complete map of cities we’ve played in. Kind of hurting on the midwest but that’s an awful lot of tiny towns in OR/WA.
Somone likes our band!
Got an e-mail from a guy named Brandon on MySpace who liked our band and made a post about it. It’s always a glad thing to be mentioned in the same company as the Suicide Girls. Check out Brandon’s Yahoo Group here.
Listen to Viva LaLuna on tonight
There’s a new radio show in Portland called Viva LaLuna airing on KUFO on Sunday at 9:00 PM. Not sure if they’ll play us or not (fingers crossed) but a show playing local music on a big radio station is always a good thing. You can listen live or via the web at kufo.com. Let’s show them some love because they seem very cool and aim to play all styles of music as long as it’s local and good.
Our van is really starting to suck
Unfortunately, we couldn’t make tonight’s show in Roseburg due to a van problem. This year alone it’s been rendered undriveable at least 3 times. We’re contemplating changing the title of ‘Get In The Van’ to ‘Get Out Of The Van and call a tow truck’. In 2007 alone we’ve had the brakes seize up, first gear stopped working, electrical problems, brake lights that stopped working and oil leaks. I’m glad Dr. Kevorkian is back out of jail as we might be right ready to employ Oregon’s assisted suicide laws and have it euthanized. We do apologize to Carlson who set up the show and all in Roseburg who were hoping to see us. Playing there again is long overdue and we promise to reschedule.
Slow month fo’ sho’
Well, it’s kind of been a bummer of a month. The split CD still isn’t done, the August tour might be postponed until later in the year and due to personal schedules we’ve only got one show in June and three in July. Slow going is an understatement. The good news is the weather is changing for the better, Eric and Dustin are up to the hard level in Guitar Hero, Justin has a new dog and Dave is expecting a new two legged addition to his family! We’re on a new compilation called ‘Corruption Of American Youth’ on Crash Assailant Records. Also, we appeared in the first Scene Not Herd sampler CD out of Longview, WA. Both are worth the look up. Good stuff! Oh yeah, we still have shirts for sale here.
