Well, buddies, Summer is almost here. The rain clouds are slowly leaving Portland, slowly. This last weekend was beautiful though. I think I speak for many when I say Saturday was a blissful and hazy kind of sabbath.
In recent news- the GNAR showcase at East End last week with The Reservations, BOOM!, White Fang, and Cole and the Rats was killer despite an almost complete lack of promotion on our part; better luck next time guys. We'll continue to have GNAR nights, with some this month at Valentine's and Tonic Lounge; we'll let you know the TBDs.
Also, we have The Reservations debut tapes ready for mail order. Just waiting on Chris to upload a picture of it. Also, we're working on two new compilations on top of the many tapes in production as of now.
