Erlangen Interview

This is an interview we did last April after our show in Erlangen, Germany. The interview was first broadcast on DiY OR DiE. DiY OR DiE is a monthly live radio show on the only non-commercial independent radio station in Bavaria, Radio Z. Thanks to Andi and Jess for setting up the show and conducting the interview.

Without sounding too cliché, we’d really like to thank everyone who came to our shows this Spring. We’d also like to extend our deepest gratitude to those of you who helped set up our shows, press our records, make posters, screen shirts, put us up for the night, and/or everything else that made the tour possible. It was an amazing time. We played with a lot of great bands and met a ton of cool people. Everyone’s hard work was definitely appreciated and we hope to return to Europe soon. If anyone has photos or video of our shows, please send us links to observerspdx@hotmail.com. Thanks Again!

One Month, One Separated Shoulder, One Broken Radiator, One More Tour in the Books

hajjiinpain

Thanks to everyone who helped us out this last month during our U.S. tour. We really appreciate your support and enthusiasm. The shows were amazing, the bands ruled, and everyone made sure we had a great time in their respective cities. A special thanks to Hajji from the rest of the band is also in order. Not only did he earn MVP honors in Texas for not loosing any of our beers while inner-tubing through rapids, but he also toughed it out in a major way by playing the last three weeks of tour despite suffering from a separated shoulder. The biggest thanks of course then goes to those of you who provided extra beers and pain killers for Hajji while we were on the road. Without you we would have had to cancel dates. Mr. Quint & Mr. Foote, you were especially helpful. No thanks to the sound guy in Raleigh who made us play on the stage that Hajji had a difficult time staying on. In the future, trust us sound people, we know our own weaknesses. Once again we apologies to everyone in Raleigh for the short set. We’ll try to make it up with a free show as soon as possible.
