About Me


ABOUT US
We're 800 Octane. We're from Portland, Oregon and although you've probably never heard of us we've been around since 1994, have played lots of shows, been on several tours and have put out a few albums. If you want to find out more about our band check out www.800octane.com as it contains more information than you could possibly ever want to know about us.
Our latest full length CD is called "Rise Again" which also comes bundled with a live DVD. It's out now on New School Records along with our last album called 'The Return'. You can order these CD's and more through Interpunk , Amazon or even iTunes .
MYSPACE FAQ
1) We do read all our messages but can't necessarily respond to all of it. If you really would like to get a hold of us you can send an e-mail to [email protected] as well. It's more likely to get replied to that way.
2) If you are a touring band who needs help booking a show please don't write us. Seriously. We really can't help. If you need a starting point try this writeup on our web site about clubs in the area.
3) Lastly, if you want to add us to your top friends do a search for [email protected]. Quick and easy!
