HATESVILLE NEWS

March 10, 2003: We just returned from a weekend in Indiana, we played three shows within less then a 24 hour period and we rocked all three. We hit Tazzma's Rock-O-Rama in Lafayette first, to pick up our newest resident of Hatesville. We were greated with open arms before we even reached the door. After kidnapping Taz's midget Mikey we were off to the Eplex in Crawfordsville for our first show of the weekend we rocked the Eplex, and despite being asked to stay and continue playing we had to get back to Tazzma's for our next show so we collected our crew and hit the road.
When we returned to Tazzma's our friends Saltwater Vampires were performing and they made sure the whole club new Hatesville had returned. We closed down Punk Fest at Tazzma's Saturday night, then after a killer night of partying with our Lafayette friends, we opened Punk Fest on Sunday and rocked that show as well, even with hangovers and little sleep.
We have a lot of upcoming shows in the works so keep checkin' our shows page for updates that should be coming soon. We were told to bring a crew with us for Tazz's hog roast in April so if anyone's intersted in taggin' along just e-mail us and we will let you know when and where we will all be meeting up before leaving Deadcatur....till next time!

March 31, 2003: Well we're back from another insane weekend in HATESVILLE. We took a road trip into Indianapolis to Punk Rock Night to party with Torg & Kill Allen Wrench, oh and to kick the shit out of that Urinal Mints guy (men that wear skirts should NOT show their ass to HATESVILLE, just a thought) We had a killer time, both bands rocked The Melody and hopefully we will be hooking up with our new buddies Torg on some of their upcoming dates this summer.
Don't forget to check out the pic's page for some crazy shots w/ Punk Superstar Allen Wrench & the legendary Dr. Heathen Scum. Hate performed some backup vocals on some of the Kill Allen Wrench songs, sorry no pics of that, but that's why you must go to the shows. Till next time....lock up your daughters, HATESVILLE likes a challenge!

Dec.15, 2003- We just got back from Indianapolis where we played the ISC Skate Park. The night started out pretty crazy. When we finally found the place, the band that was providing PA was backing out of an agreement they made with the promoter. So to make a long story short Hate ended up singing through a megaphone, but we did the show and it ended up being pretty cool. Thanks to "the cook" for coming out, doing some back up vocal on "Living in the City" and "Wasted" and bringing some friends from Indi. to party with us, we had a killer time, and thanks to the lezbians in the bar around the corner for providing an after show, show! (Sorry guys we forgot the camera)
We'll be invading Sullivan next weekend with Swampass and Ballpeen, get your ass's out to this show, a night with these three bands is guaranteed to be memorable.
