I am moving to Portland in 2 days. The P.O. Box in Missoula is
still good, all orders will be forwarded when I get a new address.
I will still try to fill all orders as soon as I get them but
please keep in mind that it might be more of a wait than usual.
Thanks.

Take a look at the new catalog; there
are some new titles, and everything is available for payment online.
There have been some changes in prices, mainly because of fees and
such, but the difference is hardly noticeable.

New Nocturnal Emission CDR "The
American Wet Dream" is out now, check out some reviews
from their last demo and know that this one is 10 times better.
And I added lots of old stuff to the press

I have completely redesigned the site and soon I will have most
of the records and stuff available through paypal. I recently did
a trade with Profane Existence so check out what is available in
the distro section. Ass-End Offend broke up. I'm not going to get
into dramatic details but I must say it had it's ups and downs and
it was time for all of us to move on. Venal I.V. practiced last
weekend and I look forward to playing a couple reunion shows. I
have also been working with The Red & Anarchist Acion Network,
hopefully more people in Montana will get involved. Check out the
new site for RAAN - MT.
Also keep a lookout for the new Nocturnal Emission release. They
will have it mixed and mastered soon. I heard some of it yesterday
and it sounds amazing. More than anything, I recommend seeing them
live!

Okay, I made it home from tour on Sunday,
then started school on Monday, so I’ve had no time to rest,
but all the orders that have piled up for the past two months
of my absence are now being looked at. If you ordered something
and are wondering what the fuck’s taking so long, now you
know, but I promise I will get your stuff sent to you soon as
I can! The tour was a blast! We went to 6 different countries
in Eastern Europe (Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland,
Czech Republic) and we toured the whole United States again. I
updated the list of all the shows (46 of them).
The
new Ass-End Offend 7” EP ‘Unchecked Aggression’
is now available. Oh, and take a look at some photos
from the tour. Coming up: September 27th: Caustic Christ at the
Union Hall w/ Stockyard Stoics (Brooklyn punk rock), Ass-End Offend,
& Reptile Dysfunction - 8pm $5.
Don’t forget: WÄNTAGE USA TOTAL FEST! American Legion Hall, 825 Ronan St. Both nights $30 advance tickets available at Ear Candy. More info at http://wantageusa.com. It will be Ass-End Offend’s last show in Missoula for at least 9 weeks as we will be on tour. And beginning now, if you order anything or send in anything I won’t be able to get to it until I get back around the end of August. Sorry if this is an inconvenience for anyone.
For details on the tour the following links will be updated regularly:
www.assendoffend.com/shows/
www.poisonedcandy.com/shows/
Keep checking the Shows page for updates. Don’t miss Saturday June 18th FALL OF THE BASTARDS. Also coming up is HELLSHOCK on the 21st. Plus the new ASS-END OFFEND record will be out at the end of the month!
Elk’s Lodge this Thursday: 2005.06.02 - IRON LUNG, OHUZARU, CAPILLARY ACTION, BULLET TRAIN TO VEGAS, ASS-END OFFEND 8pm, all-ages $6
The I Object! show was a blast. I hope the rest of their tour goes well. They have a new cd & tape out that sounds great. Nocturnal Emission couldn’t play because their drummer’s in jail. Hope that is only temporary.
New Ass-End Offend reviews are posted. We found out that our plane tickets to get to Germany are going to be twice what we anticipated: $1275 each! That is more than I have saved up! We are still going and we will just not eat for 2 months! Food is overrated anyhow.
New video of show footage from 2004 and early 2005: GARDEN CITY DEPRESSION volume 3 is available now on VHS or DVD-R!
I have added lots of pictures in the Pictures section (duh) and a bunch of flyers to the Shows/ Tours section. There are also some awesome shows coming up. There is also rumor that THE BANNED & HUMPY will be playing at TOTAL FEST this year. It’s not a dream...
ASS-END OFFEND made a trip over to Spokane the weekend before last to play with KYLESA and it was awesome. We ended up camping that night and it was really cold. Last week we played with I WILL KILL YOU FUCKER from Oakland, CA and NOCTURNAL EMISSION who have some new songs that rip. Very few people showed up but it was still a fun show.
ASS-END OFFEND made it home from our west coast tour this morning. We drove straight home from Santa Cruz and it took about 29 hours, no thanks to bad weather! All the shows went really well except the show in Davis; the first band played, then the cops came and shut it down. Huge thanks go to everyone who helped us set up/ get added to these shows, put us up (put up with us) for the night, etc. We had a blast. And the recording went really well, so look for the new 7” in the next couple months.
I have added a Shows/ Tours section with upcoming shows along with all of the past shows I have been involved in.
I received an invitation to join the Army this week and I am quoting part of it here because I find it humorous just how pathetic their recruiting skills (and language skills!) are in their attempt to bribe the lower class (being their main recruiting target)...
"Dear American, You may never have a chance like this one. To become a force against terror and other forces that threaten America's way of life...Threats to America are everywhere, and we need to confront them swiftly and forcefully when they arise...You no longer have to stand on the sidelines, watching as others defend America. This is your chance to make a difference...Tens of thousands of men and women just like you have embarked on this great adventure full of challenges, adventure and new experiences. They are waiting for you to join them." -Richard R. Guzzetta, LTC, National Guard Bureau, Chief, Strength Maintenance Division.
An adventure full of adventure? Wow. You really have to stand in awe when the United States Army can’t even puke up an intelligent sentence!!!
So be all you can be and sell your life to help satisfy the great imperialist hard-on.
The punk prom was a huge success. It was to raise money for ASS-END OFFEND to invade Europe this summer and we wouldn’t be able to go if it weren’t for this event and all the people involved. Huge gigantic thanks go to: Josh Vanek/ Wäntage usa, Shane Hickey, Milli Thompson, Jen & Dave Parsons, Becky Hensley, Heather Tomlins, Niki Payton, Rian Kochel/ KBGA, Julie Tompkins, Jon/ Ear Candy, Mike Vanacek, Charlie Beaton/ Big Dipper, Chris Bacon/ B.O.M.B., Jake/ Edge of the World, and everyone else who helped set up and promote the show, and of course BACON AND EGG, THE INTERNATIONAL PLAYBOYS, OBLIO JOES, SASSHOLE, & VOLUMEN for their awesome performances that night and all the support they have given us. We’re not worthy!

We have some new EPs in our distro (see Audio section) including the re-mastered 7” of the old demo from SOUND OF DISASTER (Swedish hardcore); and some new EPs from our friends in Finland: HERO DISHONEST (if you saw them in Great Falls last fall you already know how much they rule!); also the new DECONDITIONED 7” (Seattle straight-edge).
As for shows, be sure to tune into KBGA 89.9 FM on ‘Valentines Day Live in Missoula’ to hear ASS-END OFFEND. We will also be playing the ‘punk rock prom’ at the Union Hall (map) -February 18th with BACON AND EGG, INTERNATIONAL PLAYBOYS, OBLIO JOES, SASSHOLE, & VOLUMEN. Check out www.punkprom.com for more info.
Ass-End Offend played two more shows with Japanther this weekend. The first was in Missoula at Area 5 and the second was in Great Falls at crazy Logan’s house. We had a blast, and both shows had a high turnout and went smoothly. Also check out this website: www.punkprom.com because we are playing that show and it will be to raise money for our trip to Europe. We owe a huge thanks to all the people and bands that are participating and working hard to make this a worthwhile event! So, THANKS!!!

For nostalgia purposes I have added sites
for 2 bands I used to be in: THE
ANTI DIFRANCOS, and VENAL
I.V. Take a look at those.
ASS-END OFFEND News: We are starting to book the Europe tour. We
plan to spend 2 weeks in the Scandinavian/ Baltic area this summer,
as well as 4 weeks in the u.s. I am really excited to get the hell
out of the united states!
It’s 7° F today. I hate the world.
Check out the MP3 section because I put up
a NOCTURNAL EMISSION song and some xANXIETY ATTACKx songs. Also,
I added lots to the xANXIETY
ATTACKx site: old zines and more.
