My how things can change in a few days. Two days ago we were ready to give up on the tour now and now we only have 2 days off! Mad props to Dave for clocking serious hours on the phone. Currently the only gaps we have are Friday 8/31 anywhere in California, Arizona or New Mexico and Monday 9/3 anywhere between Denver and Chicago. Please e-mail us if you can help.

Damn, our tour dates are getting dropped faster than Jim’s pants at a NAMBLA meeting. Can anyone out there hook us up? Basement? Garage? Living Room? Anything? Don’t be afraid to e-mail us if you think you can help. Everyone claims to respect DIY booking but sometimes it really sucks.

We’ve added tons of new pictures to the 2001 Pictures page. Go look at them.
Show Review
This was the best I’ve seen Octane play. It’s a wonder why they aren’t on one of the big punk labels. They’re just as good, if not better than most of those bands. My favorite songs have to be “Day Of The Dead” and their Misfits cover, “Astro Zombies.” What can I say? I’m a sucker for a great Misfits cover. I’m really looking forward to playing with them again.

Huge show news … we are playing with A New Found Glory in Eugene on 8/16! Unfortunately this means we have to cancel our 8/23 show at the Animal Farm. Hopefully some of you Animal Farm regulars will come check us out at the Wow Hall!

Show Review
I’ve eagerly awaited the chance to see 800 Octane again. These guys have been around for nearly a decade and they’ve toured all over the country, yet fame seems to elude them. It just goes to show that there’s no justice in the music business. How do candyass bands like Fenix TX and Good Charlotte receive so much hype, while excellent hard-hitting groups like 800 Octane wallow in relative obscurity?!? Damn it, I need to calm down
Show Review
The Lonely Kings were supposed to headline the show but they cancelled, leaving Portland’s 800 Octane as the evening’s final band. I’d never heard their music before. I know a few people who saw them open for Face To Face last fall. They all said that 800 Octane was great. They weren’t lying. 800 Octane was incredibly rockin’ and played with more vigor than most bands I’ve seen lately. Their guitarist Justin jumped around like a madman, which is even more amazing when you consider how low the Animal Farm ceiling is. 800 Octane rules and I hope we can play with them again soon.

Show Review
Next was Oregon’s own 800 Octane . These guys never cease to amaze me. They put on such a good show and the crowd always loves their spooky punk sound. They played an incredibly tight set and this time Eric didn’t put a hole in the stage. Good job Eric. Also, always be sure to check out 800 Octane whenever you can. They are simply amazing, and the nicest guys you will ever meet. (Dead Even)
