March 15, 2004 - Well there have been a lot of changes in HATESVILLE over the winter, we lost Monster Head somewhere along the way, and were forced to look for a replacement, when he couldn't be found. It was looking like we were going to end up as a three piece with Hate on drums and vocals, when one day a drummer named Spiker gave us a call, came out to practice with us and said "well hell, I like this shit" and he's still showing up for practice, and gotten himself hooked on Pabst so what do you know it look's like we found us a drummer.
We've wrote a lot of new songs that we hope everyone will enjoy. We've been offered a couple dates on the 2004 Murder Junkies tour, this June that we're looking forward too. Things are still tentative but it looks like we'll be on the Chicago and St.Louis shows.
We plan to record in the next few weeks, so keep an eye out for a new release.
Till next time, Keep Rockin'
