800 Octane

Jul 2005 | To close out our "30 days of photographs", these were taken at the House of Blues in Hollywood, when we got to open for Tiger Army for two sold out nights in a row. By this point, Jim had already moved away, and Dustin was deep into his time as our drummer. Quite honestly, this is one of the absolute fondest memories we have of him, as he had worked so hard, with so many bands, to get to play at a show like this. We were tight as we've ever been, practicing 2 to 3 times a week for well over a year at this point. We had played a few "real" venues over the years, but getting to load into a place like the House of Blues was exceptional. Getting to leave your stuff there between nights was even more exceptional. Even though the photographs are kind of bland, as far as memories go, this is absolutely one of our high points.
