About Me

Here are some silly drawings I've done. Just something to look at while you listen.

Thanks for being here. Hope you enjoy the music.
BIO
Fiberoctopus is a band out of San Diego featuring a dude named Gavin singing and playing guitar, Chris playing bass, Karie singing and playing various musical accessories, and our newest member: John the drummer. Gavin also still does solo recording under the name, so it's kinda like two or three projects in one, but the band version of the band began playing live in the summer of 2007. We're currently aiming to record more songs and play more shows.
SERVICES AVAILABLE
Want a live performance by Fiberoctopus at your gig, party, or social function within reasonable driving distance of San Diego, California? Let us know.
Don't be afraid to add us. While technically a "band" account, this also doubles as Gavin's personal myspace.. I at least skim through my bulletins and read some. Also, I don't send random event invites, I don't post random "check me out!" comments, and I don't post that many bulletins.


Here are some more songs:
Another Day (Karie on lead vocals)
Holland, 1945 (a Neutral Milk Hotel cover)
A Better Son/Daughter (Rilo Kiley cover, w/ Neutral Milk Hotel bookends)
Wet Match (kinda long and sad)
All Along The Watchtown2000 (kinda dark but bouncy)
Mix for Beth (Overture) (short jam)
I'm on Fire (Bruce Springsteen cover)
and check out this little animated short at youtube .
