Like a bad hangover, the 86ers began late in the summer of 2000 and have been
at it ever since. Justin & Edi had always been wanting to put together a band, but it just
took
a while getting it together. Moving, motorcycles and life had held us up, not to mention
all of
people we went through. Things first started with our friend Aaron Fenwick(Rickets,
Kilcare)
on drums with Edi & Justin trading off on guitar and bass until Mike K.(of the late Brown
Bottle Flu) started in on bass. Since Edi wrote most of the lyrics, he ended up on vocals.
After the set got to be more than four solid songs it was agreed that we needed a real
singer. Thats when Justin suggested Brian(the Redundants, Axiom)and we picked up
Patrick on bass, as Mike left to form Ms.45. This is when things really picked up.
January of 2001, we played our first show on New Years Eve at Billy Rays(a local pub). This was the first time this struggling dive had music, no $’s at the door but all the PBR the band could drink. Drank. Drunk! This triggered a series of shows, culminating with a benefit for Patricks Portland Scooter Club at the Jasmine Tree tiki lounge that ended in a supreme alchoholocaust. Aaron left the band soon after to pursue other interests. We then had a few hilarious auditiions with some local talents such as Adam(the Escaped) and some guy named Dan. Eventually we landed Mat Cudworth. He had’nt played in years, but still added a new “speed” and “power” to the set. After our first recording session and several tumultuous shows, Mat left the 86ers. Not missing a beat and with several shows lined up, including a trip to 924 Gilman to open for our friends Pitch Black, Edger of the Buckskins was recruited. The first show back was at another local favorite, the Jolly Inn with the Filthy Animals and Straightjacket. As chaos ensued at one the funnest shows in Portlands past,Aleric of Bloodspit Nights was put though a table, and Brian carved some dipshits head with a busted open beer can! Fun! Now,finally, after two years, with Edger on the stix the 86ers have solid line up & have been playing nonstop with the likes of One Day War, the Filthy Animals, Riot Cop, the Escaped, AntiWorld, Whiskey & Sin, Ms.45, etc..... We look forward to our trip to the Bay area to support Pitch Black’s record release. Look for our new ep out late june, early july 2002 and and we still have a few of our split w/ Whiskey & Sin! It is available through InterPunk at www.interpunk.com Cheers and Beers, The 86ers! |
