| 9/22/05 | Okay, first of all I would like to apologize for the seven inch taking so incredibly long to come out. We have been working on this for way too long. Trust us when we say October, in the meantime check out the artwork for it on the music page. Come check us out on tour as we will be on a short one for the next couple weeks. - Chris Evil |

| 6/9/05 | Wow, those last two months really flew by for us, both tours were a hell of a lot of fun and we met many fucking awesome people. Thanks to everybody who came out and supported us at the shows. The split 7" with the Hollowpoints is recorded and is currently being mixed the release date is yet to be determined, but we may have a sample on our site sooner than that so check back. We are slowing down to do more writing and concentrate on playing the northwest all summer so get in touch with us if you want us to come and play in your town. Also don't forget to hook up with us on Myspace if you're into that sort of thing. I also added some more pics in the photos section and hopefully will be getting some new ones from tour up as soon as we get them. Thanks to our new buddy's in Walla Walla for the fire breathing! - Chris Evil |
| 3/29/05 Alright, Alright. | We are going to be playing a ton of shows in the next two months so hopefully you will get a chance to see us and a chance to hear some of our new tunes we're fine tuning for our next releases. The split 7" with the Hollowpoints is scheduled to get recorded in early May so be ready, it will be limited and very nice. We are touring down to San Francisco in April and then heading out East as far as Rapid City, SD with the Hollowpoints for the last half of May. Check the shows page for all of the confirmed dates of those tours. I think that's it for now, back to making the rock. - Chris Evil |

| 1/27/05 Exciting News! | Alright, so we have been playing some fun venues and continue to meet some great kids, we will continue playing shows throughout the northwest so hopefully we will see you out at one of our upcoming shows. Our next release will be a split 7" with our dear friends the Hollowpoints it is going to have two of our new songs on it, one that you might have heard us play live. That should be out on New Regard Media by late spring so keep checking for an official release date. We are planning a couple new tours for the spring as well, one short trip down the coast and back and another heading out into the great mid-west so check back for dates in your town and post on our board if there is someplace that you would like to see us. Thanks for the good times, - Chris Evil |
| 10/14/04 Hello there | Been playing a lot of shows around home lately. Making it down to play the Plague house in Seattle was fun, heading down to Tacoma to play at Hell's Kitchen tonight with our friend Dug's band Diesto from Portland. As well as all the good shows we have been playing in town here so come out and have a good time, especially for the warehouse show with Black Eyes and Neckties our new label mates and Sadie Hawkins Rejects and the Contra, it should be an awesome show. Also check our tour dates as I get them posted and try to come out to one of our shows on the road. - Chris Evil |
| 8/24/04 Back Home Again | Thanks to everyone who helped us out along our first tour from simply accidentaly being at one of the shows to letting us sleep in your living room for multiple nights in a row. We had a blast and are already starting to plan for the next one, so be ready. For now though it feels good to be back and pick up the pieces where we left off. Sink full of dishes, dead plants, rent to pay, and new tales to tell at the local watering holes. Check back soon for new pics of all the wonderful places we played. - Chris Evil |
| 8/9/04 Hangin' in Flagstaff | Alright, so we had a couple of hopefull shows fall through in the south so we have been spending some time in Flagstaff, AZ which is a pretty damn nice town.
We even scored a show while here a the Boardwalk, not to mention some of us got to shake the hand of Presidential hopefull JOhn Kerry, which was kind of weird and
unexpected, but nice. In other news, got caught in an electrical storm stayed in Truckee outside of Lake Tahoe, stayed in the war-zone in San-Fran at a sweet warehouse
with a 12ft skate ramp, and got to see just how twisted a place Las Vegas is, ohh yeah, check out Line of Fire a band from Tucson, good band, good guys. We had a good time
in Puyallup, WA Infect is an awesome band more shows with that band are definitely in the future. Allright, I think
that is about all I can remember right now. More tales from the road soon, - Chris Evil |
| 6/16/04 Punk-Life | Punk-Life festival was a lot of fun, thanks to all the bands and people who came out and made it a good time. We have a few shows coming up in town before we leave on our tour so keep your eyes peeled for those posters. We are headlining an early all-ages show at the Graceland on Friday July 9th, it is a benefit for KGRG so I hope that we see a lot of people there. If anyone can help us out with contacts or possible show leads I am going to post dates that we still have open on our shows page any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, our album is now available along with the rest of the New Regard Media stuff on InterPunk. So pick one up!
- Chris Evil |
| 5/17/04 Need new Van | We have been playing a bunch of fun shows lately and all the action has taken its toll on our beloved vintage vehicle. After over-heating on the way down to Seattle with the Black Eyes it just hasn't run the same, so if anyone knows of something decent and cheap that has plenty of mileage left in it let us know. On to other news, the Marysville show was unbelievable, the number of kids that came out to the show really surprised us and we can't wait to go play there again, thanks to everyone who came and watched and especially those who picked up our cd. Also the cd is now distributed by Choke so you should be able to order it from your favorite local record store as well as the New Regard Media site. Hopefully we see a lot of people at our next shows at the Factory with Seattle rockers Murdock and at the Punk Life Festival in Seattle at the Funhouse. They did a nice job putting together the Punk Life Festival and even have t-shirts with all the bands on the back. Also we are currently in the process of booking our first west coast tour which will take us down through LA, east to New Mexico and North to Montana, then back home to Bellingham, WA. If anyone needs us to stop anywhere and play a show for them let us know and we will do what we can. cdevilsticks@hotmail.com - Chris Evil |
| 4/7/04 Busy Times | Good things happening for us in the Evil camp. Our debut full length is getting good reception and we are starting to set up our
summer tour. Our record release party on thursday the 8th looks like it is going to be one hell of a good time. If you are one of
the many that have already picked up the new cd stop by the message board and let us know what you think, if you have not picked it up
get down to Viva La Vinyl in Bellingham, or cruise over to New Regard Media
and order yourself a copy!
- Chris Evil |

|
| 3/10/04 Finally, We Have It | So first off we are really bummed about having to cancel our record release show, but we are going to find a new venue for it
and it is going to be even bigger than before, until then go get "Married To America" down at Viva La Vinyl or order it from
New Regard Media. The Vera Project benefit was fun and our double header
on April first is sure to be a blast. Keep checking back for the new date of the release party with Full Frontal Assault and Death
For Profit!
- Chris Evil |
| 2/20/04 The Record Abides! | So here it is! This baby's hot and it is at the presses right now. If you havn't already checked it out you can listen to
"Domestic Insecurity" over on the music page. We should have these for sale off of the
New Regard Media site by March so keep checking back so you can get one of the first runs. Our shows have been a blast lately
and we are excited to be playing at The Vera Project in Seattle on the 28th, then we are throwing a big release show for our new
cd at the GAF here in Bellingham. It is going to be sort of a New Regard Media showcase with us and Full Frontal Assault and also
local thrashers Death For Profit. Come celebrate with us, there might even be really good deals on our new cd and other New Regard
Media stuff, so check it out.
- Chris Evil |
| 1/26/04 Finished Mastering | Back from Portland again, much safer this time with no snow, and we have our new recording mastered and are very excited
about it, so much so we want to share, so here is a new song for you to listen to while we get the artwork together for
release next month Domestic Insecurity hope you enjoy. As
for other news we played down in Mt. Vernon and quickly burned through our $100 bar tab, I think just getting paid would
have been healthier. Big shows coming up in the next two weeks, a free show at the college so nobody has an excuse not to
go to this one it is going to be awesome and has the best local line-up I think I have ever seen for an all-ages show and
it is free, that is kick ass. The week after is the big show at the Factory with the Black Halos, should also be a very
good time, and don't forget about the radio stuff up at KUGS thanks, to Matt. Check out our article in this months Cheapshot!, a local online magazine - Chris Evil |
| 1/22/04 Pics from Jan 9th | Some pics from the Friday, Jan 9th show at The Factory are finally up in the photos section...
check em out! |
| 1/5/04 Damn it's cold | Check out our article in this months Cheapshot!, a local online magazine.
So Portland was fun and the new recording turned out really good thanks to the ear of Doug at DIG recording anyone
looking to record in the portland area should check him out. We have the rough mixes now and will be headed back
down for mastering in a couple of weeks. It will be a very solid EP and should be available from New Regard Media
sometime later next month. The show at the Twilight in Portand was fun and it was good to see our friends USS Horsewhip
down there, thanks to all who came out so soon after new years. It took us 6 hours to drive on the icy freeway from
Portland back to Bellingham last night in the old motorhome. I hope Moral Crux will be able to make it to the show
on Friday at the Factory everybody should come to this one since it is more fun to share heat at a show then to sit
in a cold empty house. Also we are playing a big show with the Black Halos and USS Horsewhip at the Factory on February
6th so be sure to get to that one early, not sure if tickets will be sold at Viva La Vinyl or not yet. Also we will be
playing on the radio on February 9th up at KUGS the radio station so tune in from 8-10pm and here some of the new tunes.
Alright that's it.

| 12/2/03 A little break for recording | First off, thanks to everyone who came out and supported us this month, all of the shows were a lot of fun.
Thanks to Matt Fu for the GAF show, and to all who braved the chill air on the 20th. Seattle was a blast, it
is always feels good to play down there The Funhouse was great and Murdock is a band I would like to see play
in Bellingham, the Hollowpoints' new EP on Dirtnap is going to be real good too. Thanks to the Businessmen for
getting us on the Lobo show, 5 bands, but it was still a good time we definitely made some friends there. The Briefs show at the 3B was one of the coolest shows we have ever played I am sorry to those who missed it, I am sure they will be coming again in the future. So we are taking the month off to write and then record with Dug at his new studio down in Portland, have not seen it yet but from what I hear it kicks ass. Hopefully he will allow pictures of the new digs. Also new stickers and shirts/sweatshirts other stuff is getting done so be on the lookout for it. We have a tentative date with Moral Crux in January hopefully it happens and we see you there. - Chris Evil |

| 11/8/03 Busy Month in the Evil Camp | Lots of Shows! If you havn't had the chance to see the Axes live yet this month is the time to do it. We are in Stanwood
tonight, Everett next weekend, then it's an all ages show on the 20th at the GAF spot. Seattle on the 21st and 22nd, then winding
it all back down with a big 3B show! December will most likely be spent in hiding while we continue our writing efforts for a new
recording. Thanks to everybody coming out to the 3B and The Factory on Halloween that was crazy, we have some pictures up now and
more will be added next week. See you at the shows! |
 |
|
| 10/28/03 Straight to Hell | Halloween is fast approaching and we are going to be busy. You may have heard about Deadfest, yes we are playing, as for what
time, we still aren't clear but we'll keep you up to date on the message board. Either before or after playing in Deming,
we'll be at the 3B after Ash and the Widowmakers and the Wastelanders, and before the glorious Full Frontal Assault. I'm sure
it will be a riotous, debaucherous time. For those of you who saw us at the party last Saturday, thanks, it was a lot of fun
and a little inebriated and sloppy. See ya on Halloween! - Tim |

| 10/15/03 Fresh Evil | So, as some may have heard we have lost one of our founding members, Ian Evil has gone south to bigger and better things. We
all wish him the best of luck with his new adventures as long as he remembers where he came from. Anyway after a very pleasant
surprise we have found a new guitarist that swings the axe with enough force to destroy homes. So those of you who are fortunate
enough to catch one of our upcoming shows will witness a new kind of evil. A halloween show beyond all halloween shows is rumored
to be happenning, but we'll have to get back to you on that. |
| 9/29/03 Back In the Saddle | Thanks to everyone who came out to the Factory last Friday the 26th, it's too bad that the Hollowpoints had to cancel. Everybody who was there knows they missed out, maybe next time. We got some pics from the show up on the site, so whether you missed the show, or just want to relive the experience, check em out. We also got some video, I haven't seen it yet hopefully we will get some up on the site for those who couldn't be there. Thanks to Legal Limit and the Fuzz who keep getting better and better. Keep your ears open for our next shows since they won't be advertised but shouldn't be missed at any cost. |
 |
|
| 8/14/03 Stayin' busy and not updatin' | Wow, it sure has been awhile hasn't it. First off, if you missed our show on August 1st with FFA and Legal Limit, you missed out
bigtime. There were tons and tons of drunks. We played first and by the time FFA went on, we were lit out of our gourds. Good times
were had by all... sorry about the beer cans, Gabe. The July 25th show @ the Factory was weak (on our end) and the turnout thankfully
wasn't too hot... you didn't miss much. Helping USS Horsewhip kick off their tour the right way at the GAF church was fun, nice to
see the kids actually kinda liked us old geezers. Good luck James Brian Joel and Jason. In the process now of writing new songs and
trying to consolidate our new house. We got some serious rippers in the works thanks to Will's big bag 'o hot licks. Our next one is
this Saturday, Aug. 16th at the Factory with the Fuzz, I wanna see you Chaos punks uniting! Ok I think that about wraps it up, stay
outta trouble kids. - Tim |

| 6/29/03 All Ages Anyone? | Okay First of all the party we played this month ended up being a lot of fun, happy birthday again and thanks for having
us out. All I really remember was a certain pep talk and then getting drenched with beer and finally driving home at 5am. Thanks
to STYFF ANYSS for building that stage and to Brandon again for rocking with us. Studio 7 is a really fun venue to play, kind of
in a weird area for Seattle but the place has a really good setup. Big stage and bright lights, DEK surprised the hell out of us
those kids can rock, we will have them up to Bellinham soon. Sadie Hawkins Rejects once again had great energy and we wish them
luck at the warped tour, if any of you are going definitely watch their set. Hollowpoints just write good fucking songs and play
good shows so go see them on tour this summer, hopefully their van will hold up for the trip. Some new pics are up more on the
way I just have to get to a scanner. Come to the Factory on the 25th of July for us and the Up Syndrome a Nitro Records band, that
should be cool, then August 1st we are playing the 3B Tavern with FULL FRONTAL ASSAULT and LEGAL LIMIT and that will be crazy.
Okay this town needs an all ages venue, the Bowling alley said we couldn't play there anymore any ideas please post on the message
board. |
| 6/10/03 Fight Night | Thanks to everyone who made it down to Rumors on Sunday to cheer for the bands, I know how hard it is to make it out on
a Sunday considering it was hard for us and we were playing. Ash and the Widowmakers put on a good show and The USS
Horsewhip really made it hard for us to get on stage if you were not there ask someone who was. They all had wireless
systems, hell James had a wireless mic. Good stuff, it was damn hard to say who won. Thanks to Joel for pulling that banner
off my head, and extra thanks for Brandon from RFD filling in for Ian.
We are playing some kind of crazy party with the infamous STYFF ANYSS this friday the 13th! If I was you I would
definitely find out where that one was and attend. I heard its by a lake? Besides we don't get to play to all ages very often.
Don't forget to check us out with the Hollowpoints at Studio 7 in Seattle on the 27th. |
 |
5/27/03 Rockin' Shows | First of all thanks to everyone for coming out this last weekend and making the shows some of our best yet. Friday at the
Factory was amazing I think that was the best crowd we have had, and that always makes us play our hardest. Thanks to
SK and the Punk Ass Bitches and the Dirty Lowdowns for playing with us and keeping us up until 6am. I guess somebody loaned
somebody a ben franklin to do something with and may not have gotten it back, doesn't sound like a good idea to me. Hindsight's
20/20. Saturday even turned out to be way better than I expected. Thanks to the Fuzz for bringing everyone out, we are definitely going to be setting up another all-ages show soon. Thanks to The Hollowpoints and the Sadie Hawkins rejects for driving up and rocking for us. Next time I promise to have way better sound for everyone. Also thanks to I think it was mainly Gus and a few others for running the door all night, that was a big help. Okay I think i'm done. |
| 5/14/03 Always Bad with the Good | Amazombies won't be making it up here to rock out in the Bowling Alley basement with us and the fabulous
Hollowpoints, However we do have two additions to the line up being the Sadie Hawkins Rejects, these
guys mean serious business, and our own Punk as Fuck heros The Fuzz. So Be there. In other news the
3B SHow was pretty damn rockin' even though some asshole hit Will in the head with a beer and gave him
a little nick, no, it was cool we can handle that shit. Don't miss SK and the Punk Ass Bitches with us and
The Dirty Lowdowns at the Factory on the 23rd. |
 |
|
| 4/30/03 News some bad, some good. | Okay Bad first, show at Studio 7 got cancelled whatever we didn't want to play there anyway right? Good, scored a
show at the 3B Tavern, supposedly the rockin'est joint in Bellingham, well on May 10th it will be. Wow, if you
were'nt at the party we played last weekend, thanks because there was way too many. I swear I havn't seen a
basement like that in a long time, The Fuzz RULED, I can't wait to see those guys again, and ladies you better
check those boy's ID's cause you don't want to go to jail, especially that drummer. As for me I almost had a heat
stroke during our set but somebody left me a pabst tall boy back there so I pulled through, pictures from the
action should be up soon. Horsewhip was closing it up in fine form until our boys in blue pulled the plug. No
citations from what i hear. I heard something about a new Police Chief with a different policy on underage drinking?
Maybe they are going to live and let live, doubt it. Alright let's party. |
| 4/17/03 2 All Ages Shows in May! | Alright, after multiple requests for all ages shows and a healthy search for a venue we have finally found a place to throw our
bellingham show on May 24th. 20th Century Bowling will host our show with the Amazombies and the Hollowpoints. This has all of
the makings to be one hell of an event so everyone should come out and support the all ages thing so that we can keep doing it.
For all of us thirsty folks they still got beer. We have a few new songs to unleash as well, and if you are lucky enough you might
get a chance to hear 'em early |
| 3/26/03 Seattle and Portland | After finally getting the old beast running again we hit the road and made it down to Seattle only having to stop and
adjust the timing twice. Thanks to Ryan for letting us hang out at his pad while we waited around for the show to start.
We caught the last of Kill the Precedent then went and got a pint and ended up missing most of the Sadie Hawkins Rejects
but definetely saw enough to know that we are going to bring them up to Bellingham for a show real soon here.
We played our set, and then the Hollowpoints played, those guys just get better and better I can't wait to see them in May. After tracking
everybody down the next day we went to Portland, and thank you Melissa for letting us invade your place for a while.
After finding the Twilight Cafe and finding out that the booze was free we knew we were in trouble. We played and people
were into it even though the crowd was a bit older than we are used to, turned out to be a lot of fun. SK and the Punk Ass
Bitches were awesome, they are playing in Bellingham on May 23rd so go and see them. After the show we were all kind of down
that there wasn't another show to play. There were now eight of us in the motorhome and we drove out to Seaside Oregon.
Rolled in at about 5:30am, to quickly realize that it was cold and very windy. Upon sobering up we caught a meal and got the hell out.
Pictures and a mini video of the trip should be up as soon as it is all tracked down and pieced together. |

3/17/03 Moral Crux still kicking ass!

3/3/03 The Mp3's are UP! So go check 'em out on the Music page. |
|
2/28/03 STYFF ANYSS |
Wow, . . . . wow, that was some of the best shit i've ever seen. I have been listening to those guys practice and the
stuff they have recorded on their own for a while and I was beggining to think that the live show was never going to
happen. I am very glad it did. The sign, the backdrop, the tv's. What a show. We played one of our best sets yet and
the new songs went over well. Thanks to everybody who came out and showed support, I heard they even had to turn some
people away at the door! Pictures from the show should be up here as soon as I get my hands on them. That is one hell
of a way to start a weekend, I am just not sure how it can get any better, well there's always a way. |
2/27/03 SHOW TONIGHT! |
|
 |
|
| The Demo | Alright, we got the demo done and we are very happy about it, we did it fast and furious and Doug at DIG knows how we like it.
We have been playing a couple shows in town at the Factory and trying out some new material on unsuspecting people
and it has been going over well. Yeah and make sure ya'll get out on the 15th for us and Moral Crux, we are trying
to have some shirts printed up by then. The Demo YOU BETTER AXE SOMEBODY will be available down at Viva La Vinyl
within a week and it will only be like $3 or $4 so you gotta pick one up and see how Richy's doing. Alright that's
it for now. |
