PUNK ROCK Is About COMMUNITY: NXNW Release PARTY!

 

*WE ARE PLAYING ON FRIDAY. We were originally scheduled to play on Saturday. 

The best thing about punk rock is friendship. This weekend we’ll be joining some of our favorite bands to celebrate a release weekend for NXNW Records. Here is a run down on why you should come out @ 9 PM to see everyone rock starting on Friday at Katie O’ Brien’s and then come back on Saturday to have fun all over again.

Friday Highlights:

Callow – This smooth rocking Bay Area duo are celebrating the release of a new album. I normally don’t love music this chill but Callow puts me in a great mood and is not to be missed. Check the tunes.

Attica! Attica! – Aaron is a kindred spirit. I can’t recommend his folky-punk highly enough. He’s one our favorites in the country. We’re stoked to be rocking with him again. It’s been too long. Check the tunes.

Danger Death Ray – We shared our first 7″ with DDR and have played many a house show with these fine gentlemen over the years. Come see them play a rare acoustic set. Check the tunes.

Tuck and Roll will cap off the night with a high energy set sure to make your 90′s punk rock spirit come alive. Get ready to sweat. Check the tunes.

Details are posted on pc-pdx.com and our shows page. Here is the facebook event.

Saturday Highlights:

The Tanked – I have known the Tanked since their day’s in the Misfats. You’d be hard pressed to find a better drinking band in Portland. They will close the night in style. You don’t want to miss this! Check it out.

Sam Fisher – Sam is from Tuck and Roll. He’ll be ripping out a set of his new acoustic tunes. Check it out.

Matt Schoch – I dig Matt’s blue grassy new record. Check it out.

Danger Death Ray (electric set).

Details are posted on pc-pdx.com. Here is the facebook event for Saturday.

NXNW Records put our first 7″.  You can listen to it HERE or purchase one of the last copies HERE.

Sabbatical is a Four Letter Word

Hi Everybody.

We’re hitting the road again in a few weeks. You can view the tour dates over on our shows page.  This tour will be a little different for us on many fronts. After 700 shows in 5 years, this will the last Destroy Nate Allen tour before we take a sabbatical from the road. I don’t know when we will be back out across the US. We’ve been running non-stop for the last several years. We’re ready for a break. We’ll still be playing locally and regionally but our bodies just need a rest from extended van life for a season.  Our goal for our upcoming tour is to hit to hit many of the places we haven’t been in a while and we have many fun ideas planned for this tour. We’ve spent the last month doing tour prep almost everyday.  If you know anyone if these towns or you can help with booking or promotion in any way please drop us a line at destroynateallen@gmail.com. We can’t wait to see everyone!

Jeff Suffering House Show!

I attended Tomfest in 1998. The event forever changed my life. For the first time I was exposed to all sorts of punk rock. On the last day, I watched Jeff Suffering and Ninety Pound Wuss roll on the floor and bleed all over everything. I was blown away. Jeff was and still is the best front man I’ve ever seen.

On Feb. 19th, Jeff is playing an acoustic set at our house! If you would of told me this is 1998, I would of asked you what a house show was and called you a liar! I’m nicer now. I think you should do yourself a favor and come hang out at our house!

Music starts at 7 Pm. This show is $5, Family Friendly and going to amazing!

We look forward to seeing you.

June / July US Tour Canceled!

Long story short we have to cancel our summer touring plans.

About two weeks ago, it was discovered my wife/bandmate Tessa had a ruptured appendix. They ended up doing emergency surgery on her abdomen and in addition to removing the remains of her appendix; they also removed parts of her colon, and small intestine. She’s expected to make a full recovery but ended up spending 11 days in the hospital.

Our best guess is that she ruptured her appendix 6 days before she was admitted – in those 6 days she played 2 shows with a rupture appendix!

We’ve decided to hold off all out of town shows until August so she can properly recover. We had a full US tour booked with Tyler aka Insomniac Folklore (www.myspace.com/insomniacfolklore). We were also set to play a week of shows with our friends Andrew Jackson Jihad (www.myspace.com/andrewjacksonjihad). Both bands are still going on tour so please support them when they come to your towns!

Until Tessa’s fully recovered all I’ll be playing all Destroy Nate Allen show’s solo. This has been a major wake up call for us. We’ll be staying pretty low key for a while and making some big changes.

We had planned to release a new triple EP and a7” this month and I’m not sure when these will be coming out now. But in the mean time http://www.facebook.com/destroynateallen has a new recording of Turns Out You’re Perfect For Me, that we recorded last year in Richmond, Virginia.

Thanks for understanding.
