So long Astoria, or rather so long to Astoria. 10/20/07
Sorry to anyone who ventured out to see us in Astoria show last night. The whole trip was doomed from the get go. The van crapped out in the morning so we tried to improvise by cramming gear into two cars. When you combine that with Dave's delayed plane flight, Friday afternoon traffic and the worst GPS routing ever we wound up screwing ourselves badly. By the end of the night we were in 4 cars, all 4 of us driving alone and all of us dreadfully late. Justin and I were already an hour late when we made it to Clatskinie and when we found out Dave and Dustin were each anywhere from 1-2 hours behind us we just threw in the towel. Best case senario we would have kept everyone waiting for an hour, worst case they would have shut down the show without us ever getting to play. We chose to cut our losses and spare each of us (in 4 cars) the additional 2 hours there and back for a show we might or might not get to play. Easily the worst trip ever. Serious apologies to Level 2, Krush Klamath (especially since you were supposed to borrow our gear!!!), Piercing Truth and anyone who came out to see us. We hope to reschedule for Nov/Dec and are trying to figure out the logistics of a van relacement as this thing has cost us two shows this year. -Eric

(Show Preview) - 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. 9/1/07
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.

Got our time slot confirmed for MusicFest NW … we are on Saturday at midnight at Kelly's Olympan (21+). Just to clarify you can attend the show for a small cover charge without buying a full weekend wristband.
