8/18/10 - Hey everyone. First off, I'd like to thank everyone who helped us out on our tour, whether you set up a show for us, let us sleep on your floor, played with us, fed us, or anything else, we love you for being comeletely awesome, "you're the best around, nothing's ever gonna get ya down, you're the best, UHHH!" Secondly, we've had some really fun homecoming shows, thanks to everyone who was a part of them. Now that the tour is over, we're taking a little break for Burning Man (though we'll be playing at Voted Best Camp all week). After that we'll be playing shows regionally, and working on finishing our next full-length record. Tentatively we're planning to go back to Pus Cavern sometime over winter. After the next record is done we'll be hitting the road again, so keep an eye out for more announcements. Oh, one more thing, we're playing with Death By Stereo in Redding, CA on 9/11! Come see that shit! Alright, see you all soon! - chris
7/18/10 - So the tour is about over. We have met and played with some amazing bands and stayed with some amazing people. We'd like to thank every one of you for supporting us. A few days ago we were bumming around in Flagstaff, AZ and we decided it might be fun to play an Against Me! song outide of their bus to see what happens. Long story short, Tom Gabel asked us to open their show at the Orpheum Theater. It was absolutly incredible. I would like to thank Tom, Against Me!, and their whole crew from being such amazing people and reaching out to help our struggling little punk rock band. It means the world to me. So thanks to everyone, come see us on this last week of tour. Let's drink a beer. - chris
6/30/10 - So it's been another month since the last update. Sorry! It's hard to keep up with our lack of internet time. Anyway, we've been all over the southeast and up to the northeast again and it has been fucking amazing. There are now six of us in the van crammed in there with all of the broken gear. So far, we've broken one bass head, one guitar head, one PA, one valve in the van that spilled out all of our antifreese, countless cables, and something like three microphones. On the bright side, we've got some kick ass shows coming up, including tomorrow, here in Chicago, with Benedict Arnold. So check out the tour schedule. We'll see you all soon. - chris
5/25/10 - Holy shit. I can't believe we haven't had the chance to update this in so long. Sorry, I'll do it as often as possible for the rest of the tour. Anyway, we're in Chicago, it's day 61 of tour. It has been absolutely amazing. We played on a radio show in Austin, TX, check it out. We have met some very awesome people and played with some amazing bands. We've got one video update up so far, and we're currently working on more to hopefully catch up. We'll get to it, I promise. Anyway, we've got a bunch more shows coming up and many more in the works. We'll see you in your town soon! - chris
1/13/10 - Ahh, a new decade. We're taking the first few months off to prepare for our first US Tour (also, Pat is in New Zealand)! We're also continuing work on our new demos. This year, starting March 26, we'll be playing shows all across the US. After tour, we'll break for Burning Man, then hopefully we'll hit the studio again to record our new full-length record. After that, we'll continue to tour anywhere we can! So look out for us on the road in your town this year. Also, a bunch of live videos have been posted to our youtube page, so watch those! See you on the road! - chris
11/13/09 - Our last few shows have been super fun, Larry and His Flask are AMAZING, I can't wait to play with them again. The show with Citizen Fish, Star Fucking Hipsters, and Molotov Compromise was fucking great, also. And last night we did the ol' show scramble with The No No's and ended up playing at the Zephyr, and it was super fun. Good times had by all. So go listen to those bands, if you haven't. Check out two new demos posted on our myspace and let us know what you think. See you soon. - chris
11/01/09 - Uploaded a shitload of new pictures from 2008. Still working on more recent ones, I'm hoping to catch up to date for once. Also fixed the guestbook, geocities is gone so I had to switch to a new one, and you can't use fun words like fuck, for that, I apologize. I'll try to find some other alternative. Anyway, see you at the show next week. - chris
10/29/09 - It's been awhile since the last update, sorry about that... Currently Dave and Chris T. are in Reno, I live in Ashland, and who knows where Pat is? However, we've got some shows and a new limited release coming out on November 4th! Yep, "Here Ya Go" is a six song EP that has two brand new songs (titled "Common Ground" and "You Can Do Anything You Set Your Mind To You Fucking Idiot") and four live tracks including the previously unreleased fast version of "Kegstand." It's limited only to 50 copies so come get 'em at the Citizen Fish/Star Fucking Hipsters show at Vixen's in Sparks, Nv. on Nov. 4th! Oh, and they'll be FREE. In show news, we're planning a trip to the bay and Santa Cruz sometime early winter, details tba. We're still working on the new songs, I'd expect the full-length to be out by summer 2010. Anyway, see you at the shows. - chris
09/16/09 - Burning man was fucking great as always. The show with MDC was fucking great as well! We've got some awesome shows coming up this fall in Reno with Larry and His Flask, Citizen Fish, Star Fucking Hipsters, and our friends from Minneapolis The No No's. Check out the shows section for more info. We're still working on the demos for the new record, and we plan to go into the studio to record it in December. We also have a major announcement coming up super soon, so look out for that, also. See you at a show! - chris
07/27/09 - We played our first show in San Francisco this weekend with Static Thought and The Backup Razor and it was awesome. I can't wait to do it again. We've still got some shows before Pat leaves for the desert, so come see us rock! - chris

We've also been working on the new demo, and now have twelve songs with complete drum tracks. Expect a preview within a few months. See you soon! - chris
07/03/09 - Hey, our weekend with Static Thought and the Backup Razor was fucking awesome, as was our trip to Sacramento to play with the Lesdystics. Thanks to everyone who came out and had fun. We've got some shows coming up, and we were recently interviewed by the Reno News and Review. So look out for that article in one of the coming issues, and come see some shows!! We're also slowly making more progress on the demos, hopefully we'll have some audio to post in the near future... - chris
05/29/09 - Hello everyone. Sorry for the lack of updates here, my computer is still in Tennessee... Anyway, tour was amazing. Thanks to everyone who helped us out with shows, let us sleep on your floors, fed us, and anything else you might have done for us. You all are fucking amazing and we love you all. Anyway, I'll post a real tour recap sometime soon, detailing each stop... On a shitty note, when we got home to play with the Murder Junkies at the Zephyr someone stole our entire merch suitcase. We finally got off our ass and made some cool stuff for everyone (shirts, patches, posters, stickers) and now it is all gone! Welcome home, right? Fortunately we're currently working on replacing the crap that was stolen, so if you want some merch, it should be up in our online store super soon. Anyway, come see us at one of our super awesome shows coming up. We're playing with some of our most favorite bands (Lesdystics, Larry And His Flask, Backup Razor, Static Thought!) within the next month, so come see some fucking punk rock! - chris

Be sure to check it out, Muffstache is for sale in digital format there, and soon, we'll have t-shirts, CDs, patches, stickers, and other awesome Vampirates items for you to buy! This cool webzine called Rivercity By Night in Chattanooga, Tn recently did an interview with us about the upcoming tour, so be sure to check that out as well. That's about it, check out the shows page for info on the tour. - Chris
02/25/09 - Uploaded the poster for the Punish Your Buick Tour. Getting closer to some more confirmations and details. See you soon. - Chris
02/10/09 - The tour is coming together quite nicely, still wating for some confirmations in some places, but it's looking good. We will be welcomed back to Reno with an AWESOME show with the MURDER JUNKIES! That shit's going to be fucking amazing. Muffstache is now available at Interpunk.com for just $7.25, so go buy it!! That's about all, check the shows page for info on the tour! - chris
01/21/09 - First update in '09 and it's a big one! The Punish Your Buick Tour is coming together quite nicely, and we've added a trip up to Oregon into the plans. Currently Pat is at the bottom of the world in South America, and I (chris f.) have relocated to Chattanooga, Tennessee until the tour in May. So, work on the demo has been postponed (except lyric writing) until after the tour when we can finish it up. Once we've finished the demo, we're going to book some studio time at Pus Cavern and go record our second full-length! Then, in August we'll of course be rocking at Burning Man, and some local shows around the Reno area until we are ready to say fuck it and hit the road for good. So once May hits, look the fuck out for Vampirates! - chris
12/16/08 - Fuck yeah, Carson City was fucking awesome as always! Kids going nuts running off of the walls, falling down, smashing into other kids that were sitting down! Good times. Thanks for the fun, and I'll post some footage up on the youtube soon. Sunday and last night were canceled due to snow fall around the area, however, both shows have been rescheduled. Sunday is pushed to next Sunday, and last night is happening on Friday. So come get your very own copy of Muffstache Friday at the Underground! See you there! - chris
12/08/09 - First off we've got the CD Release shows coming up this weekend, and we couldn't be more stoked. We tried our hardest to find an all ages show in Reno, but everything fell through, so if you're under 21, we're sorry, but you can go see us on Saturday at the 4 Pints in Carson City. Anyway, we've been working hard on the new demos, trying to get the drums and bass done before Pat leaves on the 31st. We've got ten of twenty drum tracks done, and they're sounding kick ass. That's about all we're up to, see you this weekend! - chris
11/11/08 - Alright... so the release of Muffstache has been delayed as we were waiting on some artwork, but now we've got everything in order, and we'll be sending everything off this week for press. So... this means that we'll actually be doing our CD Release... finally. Check out the shows page for all the info you need. Pat will be back in Reno shortly, and we will be again working on the new demos, until he leaves again in mid-december. That's right, Pat will be in South America for roughly five months. During his absence, we will work on finishing up the new demos. You will also be able to catch me and Dave playing every other Sunday at the Zephyr in Reno with Voted Best Band. And Chris T. will, of course, be playing regularly with Twelve Gauge Facelift. When Pat returns to the US, we'll be embarking on a week-long tour of the southern US entitled the "Punish Your Buick Tour." More info on this as we get closer... So, buy a cd from us so we can make another one! - chris
08/13/08 - I finally made some time to update the page a bit... I took down the Muffstache demos and put up The Angry Sloth up for free download. So get that shit. Let us know what you think. We're not putting the whole thing up for free this time around 'cause... but you can buy it from us (for $3) right now! Email us at thevampirates@hotmail.com to get one! CD Release show in October. Burning man in something like 11 days. See you later. - chris
07/19/08 - We've got some shows coming up to celebrate the release of Muffstache. These, however, are not the official release shows. Those will be in October, and we'll have real professionally pressed copies by then. However, those who pick up a copy next weekend will be getting "special edition" hand made Muffstaches. Ebay??? Anyway, check out the shows page for info. - chris
07/12/08 - We went into Pus Cavern with engineer Joe Johnston (cake, deftones, cobra skulls) last weekend (7/6) to record "Muffstache" and we are super stoked with the results. We'll be hand making the first 100 copies, then we'll actually press some. We're fucking stoked to have a recording that actually represents our band's energy. So big thanks to Joe and Pus Cavern for kicking so much ass. We're working on demoing some new songs for the new record, we've already got four down... just sixteen more to go!! So come to our cd release shows and get yourself a copy of Muffstache. - chris
06/15/08 - The Murder Junkies show was fucking awesome, thanks to everyone (except the dicks at musichead) for making it possible, especially Gabe from Medford's Pyrate Punx. We've got some more shows coming up, as well as the studio on July 6. Now for the bad news... in August, Pat will be leaving to go build Black Rock City, and won't be back until October (when I go back to Oregon to finish school). Then, shortly after that, Pat will be going to South America for roughly five months. So... we'll be taking a planned hiatus over the fall and winter months. However, when he returns to the States, we will return to the rock in full force (new material, extensive touring... etc.). Though this really bums me out, in the end it will be fucking awesome. So... you know what that means. Go fucking see us rock now, before you miss your chance! - chris
06/08/08 - More show news! Check the shows page! - chris
06/07/08 - Murder Junkies in Medford next week! We're also FINALLY going into the studio to have Muffstache recorded professionally on July 6th, so look for a cd release show shortly after.

04/01/08 - The Punish Your Body Tour 2.0 was fucking awesome, despite the lack of traveling! Thanks to all the bands, promoters, dudes and chicks, my bandmates, and everyone else who made it possible. The new songs are coming along nicely, and we should probably be demoing them sometime soon. Also, we're doing two shows in Oregon with Geoff and Dave filling in the drums. Should be a fucking blast!

03/06/08 - Hey, so the tour is going to mostly be in Reno. haha. But we'll get to the other stops we had planned this summer for sure. However, since the tour is so local, we are going to finally write some new songs! So, if you see us on the Punish Your Body Tour 2.0 or 2.5, expect some new stuff! Also, we're playing in Ashland in about a week. It's an ALL AGES show on campus in the bottom of the SU. It is going to kick fucking ass, so go to it. See you at a show soon! - chris

Still slacking on the new songs, I'm back in Ashland, Pat is in Eugene, and Dave and Chris T are still here in Reno. We'll get it together, though. See you soon. -chris
09/18/07 - Hi! This Friday is our show with the Duane Peters Gunfight, and we couldn't be more stoked. Also, the new songs are coming along, I'm going to try to convince everyone to play some new shit on friday.

Anyway, next show is Burning Man, so if you're going be sure to stop by Voted Best Camp and watch us rock our balls off.

The recording of the Ashland show turned out good, and will be out soon as a split between Edepit, Butthak, and Vampirates, and will also feature two new Vampirates songs. "Ruckus At the Jazz Club" is just waiting for art, and then it will be available, and "Muffstache" is awaiting guitar and vocal tracks.

7/30/06 - Hey... so we're slowly working on some late-summer shows. And we're also finishing up the EP slowly. The live record is cool, and some tracks are available on our myspace for a preview. We'll be mixing it down within a month or so, and it should be out sometime shortly after that. So keep checking back for dates on these things. See you later. - chris
6/23/06 - Alright! So we played for 6 people in Grants Pass a few weeks ago. That was fun. Susanville was a blast, and Reno was pretty fun too. This weekend is a big one for us. We're practicing and recording "Muffstache" tomorrow, and on Saturday we'll be playing two shows. For info, go to the shows page. I'll update after this weekend with info about when the new cds will be out. - chris
6/6/6 - Hello. So it's been awhile since I've been able to update this... but that has changed. Expect updates whenever I hear something worth putting on here. Anyway, here's what we've been up to. We know we've lagged really hard on putting out "Muffstache." We've demoed it, without vocals (except for "visualization," check it out on the music page), and it turned out good. But it's not what we want it to be... so we are re-recording it at the end of June, ourselves. So expect a mid-late-July release. Also, we are playing in Reno on June 24th and we will be recording this show for a live CD/DVD. Expect a mid-late-July release on that one too. We have some shows coming up (including Oregon!), and are working on more for summer, so watch out for us. If you want us to rock your town, send us an email. That's about it for now. We will be working on some new stuff, also, in the next few months. Okay, enough. Enjoy National Slayer Day!!! - chris
03/06/06 - Hey, so we've played some really great shows lately and I'd like to thank anyone who helped make them possible. So, as usual we are lagging on finishing the demo, but those vocals should be done soon, I promise. Oh, and we will be heading into Pus Cavern Studios in Sacramento in late May for two days to record the new record titled "Muffstache" which will be 8 songs rolled into one and will span about ten minutes. We might also record a few other new or old songs while we're in there. So look forward to that shit being out by summer, followed by tons of shows up and down the west coast. Oh, and in website news... sorry for the lack of updates, I haven't had the internet for awhile now, so it's hard to upload stuff. The most current show info is posted on the myspace page, since it's super easy to update, so check that for upcoming stuff, and I will try to update this one as regularly as possible. Anyway, thanks and see you all soon. - chris
01/05/06 - Yo-ho-ho. The demo is getting close, just some more vocals to do, then it'll be done. Expect it to be done by the end of january at the latest. We've also got some shows coming up, including a possible show in Santa Cruz. Check the myspace for the latest show updates. Okay, that's all for now. - chris
12/20/05 - Hey fuckers, we've got some news. So we're demo'n the new EP and all of the instruments are done, so now we're just waiting on the lyrics so we can record the vocals. As soon as recording is done we will put some songs up on here so you can see where we're headed with the new shit. Also we're working on a few shows here and there, and we're still trying to get back up to Ashland (there's nowhere to play there...). We're talking about a summer tour, too, so let us know if you live somewhere we've never been and want us to come rock. Okay, happy fucking holidays and see you when the demo's done! - chris
11/25/05 - So I finally re-vamped the site. Also, we have some shows coming up, so check that out. Also, we're demoing the new record over the next few weeks, so look out for some new demos soon. I'll update when we have more info about that shite. A?so, check the myspace site for the latest show info. - chris
09/07/05 - Burning man was awesome. We rocked those hippies. We've got one last summer show in Reno before we move back to Ashland, so check it out on the shows page. I had to take down some of the videos to save space on the server, so if you want them, send us an email. Also, we still don't know when or how we'll be recording the new record, but it should be soon. More details on that later. See you on Saturday. - chris
08/26/05 - We have completed writing the new record, and it will be super awesome. It will have 8 songs total, and as of yet it's untitled, as are most of the songs. We're shooting to have this thing recorded by mid-sept, so look out for that. I also put up an entire set's worth of videos from our show at Stingers with Good Neighbor Policy. CHECK THAT SHIT OUT (it has new songs in it!!)!! I put up pics from the jazz club show with Good Neighbor Policy, too. Also, if you're going to Burning Man, be sure to stop by 2:00 and Delirium and demand that we play for you. See you there. - chris
08/07/05 - Finally... an update. We've been working on writing songs for a new cd, which will be done and out by mid to end september. We played a show with our friend Emerson on drums, he did really good, and it was his first show. Pics are up from that show, as well. Good times... he will be drumming for us out at burning man this year... so check us out. We also have some upcoming shows in the Reno area... check the shows page for that info. See you at the shows. -chris
06/12/05 - Hello all... so school is out and we are fucking stoked. Reno here we come. Oh, and Friday's show was fucking awesome... the Treehouses should be experienced by everyone. I think we successfully invaded the hippies and showed them what punk rock is all about. Oh, and our set was recorded (well, some of it, anyway)... so I'm putting up everything we ended up with of that recording (which is 2 full songs, and like 3 partial ones). So go to the sounds page and get some free live Vampirates. Okay, shows are being booked for summer... we will see you then! Oh, and recording is in the near future as well, details on that will come soon. Thanks for a great weekend if you were part of it. -chris

Thanks to all the kids who stuck around to see us, and special thanks goes out to Quail Man, and the Bombmob singalong, that was amazing. Medford was also really fun. Thanks to all the Reno kids that came up (except for justin, andy, and alex... you guys are assholes), and all of the new bands are really amazing, I can't wait for more! Pics should be up really soon from each show... So thanks for coming out and having a good time if you did... and fuck you otherwise, i guess... hahaha. See you next time. - chris

That's right, we're playing at this new venue in Medford... all you Ashlanders better make it out, because it's as close as we can get for ALL AGES!!! We're working on getting the newest incarnation of 7eveneyes on the show (darkwaters), so that's even more of a reason to come to the rock show!!

It should be a blast, I know I'm looking forward to rocking with some old friends and some new faces as well. So yeah, that's pretty much it. I don't know if this will be the only show with this line-up, or if more will happen, but this is it for now. Ashland... I promise we'll be back soon. Until then... -chris
01/27/05 - The shows last weekend were fuckin' awesome, we all had a good time. Dave somehow managed to survive playing four sets in one night... Anyway, we'll be back to Carson in March, and hopefully sooner than that. Anyhow, see you soon at some shows... -chris
01/20/05 - We stepped our way into not one, but two shows this coming weekend, so head over to the shows page to see where we'll be rockin' at. We're starting to work on some new material, maybe we'll get something together before the shows... maybe not... anyway, see you Saturday. -chris

There has been talk of doing a weekend of shows with our original line-up, more on that as it develops. We're also talking about a long weekend of shows with the current line-up, hitting reno, ashland, central oregon, and hopefully portland (finally). Writing for a new album should start soon... okay, that's about all i can think of for now, so go listen to 7seconds. -chris
11-22-04 - I'd like to thank everyone who came out this weekend and made it so much god damned fun. And those of you who didn't... fuck off, i guess. Anyway, reno was a blast, highlights include flaming pubes, broken strings, and bombing down that parking garage. Ashland was equally as fun, Pat's bass got really bloody, and Eddie sang 'I hate the mall' with us... who'd have thought??? Well, the new cds are done and available, so just ask us. $2 for each. Thanks again and see you all soon. -chris
11-16-04 - Hey everyone, i added another flyer for our show on sunday, and also Beneath The Thorns from Ashland has been added to that show, so everyone come check out some rock. See you this weekend. -chris

We will have our new EP ready by our show on the 20th, and they'll be going for $2, just like the old cd... and Ashland, we promise the rock will be brought very shortly. Also, I added the lyrics to 4 songs from the new EP to the lyrics page. Anyway, check back in a day or two for some news on shows. Until then, enjoy some delicious leftover Summer Ale. - chris
10-20-04 - Word... we've got artwork now for the EP, so we've just got to put everything together, then they'll be ready. Also, we're going to be playing in Reno soon, and Ashland shows are in the works as well. So check out the shows page for upcoming info on CD Release shows and shits... -chris
10-10-04 - Hello. So our new EP is finished and we're just waiting on artwork and cds, then we'll have them out. But in the mean time, you can download the entire thing from our sounds page. So check it out and let us know what you all think! Also, we're working on getting our shit together so we can have some shows up here in Ashland, as we are now back here and are missing half of our band in reno... So more on that when we figure that shit out. Okay, enough rambling... enjoy the Summer Ale. -chris
9-23-04 - Summer Ale has been officially brewed, and is about to enter the bottling process. There is another rough mix mp3 up on the sounds page of "Bombmob." We're very proud of it, and hope that you all enjoy it as much as we do. It'll be out in about a week, I hope... until then... -Chris
9-15-04 - We are roughly half way through the recording of the "Summer Ale EP," and it's turning out to be pretty damn good. At this point all of the drum and bass tracks are done, as with Pat's vocal tracks. All that's left is about 2/3 of the guitar tracks and Dave's and my vocals. Recording should be totally done in less than a week, and it should be mixed soon after. But to hold you all over there's an early version of "I Hate Girls" available on the sounds page. So check that out. I'll update when we've finished recording and more songs become available. Check back later on, and enjoy "I Hate Girls" - Chris
9-14-04 - Okay, so we are recording the "Summer Ale EP" tonight and it should contain 5 maybe 6 songs. We hope everything goes smoothly and on track... as it is Pat's last night in Reno before we move back to Ashland. We have yet to decide the future of the band at this point, but soon... so look for a huge update soon. Thanks for the great time reno... we'll be back. - Chris
8-23-04 - 
-chris
8-21-04 - Hey, so we are playing at Club Infinity in Reno on the 29th, hope to see you all there, it will be a seriously kick ass show and it's ALL AGES with a bar and it's only $5! More info on the shows page... other that that, we're working on some new songs and trying to get them recorded before we head back to Ashland in a month, more info on that to come soon. Anyway, see you all at the show! -chris
8-03-04 - Thanks everyone who came out to the show on saturday, we did a great thing that night. We're working on new material and also some new shows, so check the shows page for info. Thats about it, so thanks, later. -chris
7-22-04 - So I had a fucking great time at the show the other night, thanks to everyone who made it so fucking awesome. On a side note, some of you may have noticed that we have Dave from Twice on vocals... well, that's because Eddie left town with no notice whatsoever. So, long story short, we now have Dave again. We are not sure how long he will be singing for us, and if Eddie will be back or not, but for now, this is how we're gonna rock it. See you all on the 31st. -chris
7-13-04 - I put up flyers for the shows on the 17th and the 31st. More shows TBA very soon. Also, we will be playing a few new songs at these shows, so enjoy. Okay, enough... -Chris

We are playing a few shows also, so check out the shows page. More info about upcoming shows and shit will be up here soon. In the meantime go to a show! -Chris
6-17-04 - Hello all, so it's been a little while... umm here's what happening with us. As of June 30th, 2004, Vampirates will officially become a Reno band. We will begin work on a new record immediately, and will play many shows around the area. We look forward to rocking with all of you Reno folk. We are having our first show in town at the Spacement on July 17th. There will be more to come, and tour is being planned for August. See all of you then. - Chris
5-30-04 - Awesome... so i made a trip up from Reno last Sat. to flyer for our show that was supposed to be that following friday. After we passed out 250+ flyers, we find out that our show had been canceled because Q's wasn't making any money, and therefore needed to close. This makes me a sad panda... So that said, we're sorry that we had to cancel Ashland for the 2nd time in a row. We plan on making this show up as soon as possible, but I doubt it will be before most of you go back to your homes for summer, sorry about that. Anyway, this brings us to Summer Tour 2004. We're planning on going everywhere and anywhere that will let us play. If you have any help, it is greatly needed. More info about tour is soon to follow. Thanks for reading this, and we're sorry. -Chris
5-15-04 - Yeah, school's out, good times. We've got a show on the 28th at Q's in Ashland, and it's going to be a serious rocker. We've got some killer bands coming through, so lets make them Q's folk shit their teeth, in a respectful manner... Okay, so we're planning on writing/recording new material over the summer. Expect a fall release. -Chris
4-21-04 - So we made a flyer for the show on the 30th, please help out and send/print out as many as possible. Also, if you are in or know someone who is in a band that might be inter?sted in playing, please email me at ngu7kyou@hotmail.com. Also, we're working on a show in Corvallis, so stay tuned for that. Go get the cd. OK, bye. - Chris
4-12-04 - The sounds section is growing, and it's got the newly remixed version of Shitpanzimps in it's entirity. The old version is gone forever, so those of you who have it should feel special. Anyway, we're still working on our upcoming shows, and i'll update with info as soon as i get it. In the meantime, get yourself a new free cd. Oh yeah, the HXCMP3 site was updated with the new versions as well.- Chris
3-30-04 (again) - Wow, two updates in one day! Okay, so the bootleg from Musichead (3.15.04) is now available for free download on the sounds page. Also, some more show news has developed, so get your ass over to the shows page to find out where we'll be playing next. Okay, that's about it... see you all at the shows. -chris
3-30-04 - Hey, so we've got a show booked for April 30 (which also happens to be my birthday...) at Musichead and it's going to be a serious rocker. We're going to have a few different cds (2 live, and the new Shitpanzimps) and t-shirts for your taking and purchasing needs (finally). We're also working on another show 'round the same time, so check the shows section. -chris
3-20-04 - Hello hello... Our shows this past weekend were really fucking fun so thanks to everyone who helped make everything possible. Our cd is done, and we're deciding on what we're going to do to get it out to all of you. Also, our show last monday in medford was recorded and we're quite happy with how it turned out, so we're probably going to post that on here within a few weeks. We're working on some more shows, i'll let you know soon. Thanks, and later. - chris

So come the fuck out even if it's finals week and show us how it's done. We will more than likely have a few limited copies of our newly remixed cd at these shows, so be prepared. Okay, i got nothin, come to the shows. -Chris
2-27-04 - I saw dillinger escape plan and the Locust last night in SF... holy fucking shit. Umm, maybe vampirates will become a real functioning band based in reno over summertime... more on that as it develops. Our show on valentines was quite fitting, but thanks anyway to DOOM WORTHY, and Evo's, we had fun despite our poor (alcohol infulenced) performance. Thats about it, i'll get back to you when we get some show news. Oh yeah, the remixed version of our cd is coming very soon, i promise. ok, bye. - chris
2-13-04 - Hello all, wow, it's been awhile... anyway, we all had a fucking awesome time over the 31st, and thanks to all that came out to make it such an awesome fucking weekend, esp. the reno kids! Anyway, so we've been asked to play at Evos on Sat (feb. 14) so we're gonna rock for valentines. I'm not sure who we're playing with, but chances are, we go on first, so get there early, 'round 7ish.

Ok, later. - chris
1-20-04 - Hello, so our cd has begun the remixing process, and holy fucking shit it sounds 400% better than it used to. I'm hoping that we can have some packaged cds by the show on the 31st to sell, or give out... Anyway... the show on the 31st is confirmed, Vampirates NGÜ7K SevenEyes Twice and ashland's own Ass! It will be $4 at Evo's Coffee Palace in Ashland, Or at 7pm or so... Make sure you're there, cause this show is going to rock your fucking face through your ass, twice... Well, that's pretty much all of the news from here... NGÜ7K all of you! - chris
1-15-04 - What's up... so the info about our upcoming show at probably Evos... i'll let you know as soon as i find out what's up. Also, anyone who goes to the show will recieve a free cd with 1 song from every band on the show (maybe not one...), so be sure to check that shit out. Our cd will be remixed by the show also, so maybe some of you will get some copies of the better sounding version. Well, rock on... -chris
1-8-04 - First off, happy new year and such. Secondly, we've got some bitchin' news... We've booked a show in Southern Oregon with Reno's Twice and Seven Eyes (who's new cd is fucking totally awesome). You might be asking yourselves 'how can you play without a drummer?' We can't... so we found some temporary replacements just to rock your fucking asses. Eddie is officially back. So check out the shows section for more info. Also, there may be a special appeareance from everyone's favorite new band NGÜ7K, so keep an eye open for that. Also, our full length cd 'Shitpanzimps' is going to be remixed before the show, so maybe we'll have a few copies to hand out of the much much much better version of our cd. Anyway, keep on rockin. -chris
12-13-03 - Yeah, so i made an mp3 page at http://www.hxcmp3.com/bands/1279 for more people to listen to us today. There is, however, more on our sounds page, so i'd just go there. Okay, later all. - chris
12-12-03 - Word... so here's the news as I know it. First off, Eddie is coming back and will be singing for the Vampirates again starting in January, and it's looking like Dave will become our drummer, since Geoff recently left the band (on good terms). Our first cd, 'Shitpanzimps' is going to be remixed and remastered in early January and we will have that out as soon as possible (it's going to sound much much much better). Also, we're looking into recording an EP in early 2004 with the new line-up and new songs, also. In Vampirates related news, Dave and I (chris) have started a new band called NGÜ7K, and you can hear us and get more info on our temporary page at http://www.vampirates.org/ngu7k. Well, that's just about all the news i can think of, so have fun. New website will come with the new record. Ok, later all... -chris

In band news... well, i'll have a big update as soon as i get everything together. All i gotta say is, look for something to be changing 'round these parts soon. -chris
11-12-03 - So we're currently working on setting up some shows to raise some cash to go into the studio to do a real EP. If you've got a show without a band, let us know, we're pretty much down for whatever. Anyway, so i'll keep you updated on upcoming shows and such. Also, it looks as if Eddie is going to become the 1st and 3rd singer of the Vampirates. That's right, he's coming back, and we're quite excited about getting out on the road and playing for as many of you as possible. Anyway, soon we'll have a bunch of news for y'all. Rock on, and try not to die... -chris
11-03-03 - Howdy doody everyone, we had a great time over halloween weekend, and hope you did too. The show in medford was totally fun and i want to thank seven eyes for coming all the way up for the show, they were totally fucking awesome. Well, i don't know what the deal is with upcoming shows at this point, but we'll figure it out soon and i'll post it on here. Well, that's about it, rock on. - chris
10-29-03 - So we've moved to a new host! Thanks Ian and titsforpeace.com. Our mp3's now work, and everything should be working, if something still doesn't work, let us know through an email or the guestbook or somethin. So yeah, we're playing ontop of a house on Beach Street on Halloween night in Ashland, i don't have an address, but i know it's pretty far up beach. It's going to be fucking awesome. We're also going to be playing various other partys 'round town, so hopefully you'll stumble across us. Well, thanks for checking out the new page, and see you all at the upcoming shows. -chris
10-27-03 - That's right, free cds to EVERYONE that comes to the show (Nov. 1st at music head flyer). Oh yeah, and i am aware that the mp3's are down, and i'm working on fixing it as we speak... I knew this day would come. In tour news, we're working on some shows in Reno, the bay area, Eugene, Redding, and Ashland/Medford for late Nov. early Dec. with Twice and Seven Eyes. I'll update as soon as we finalize everything. So please check back in a day or so for the mp3's (hopefully tonight...). Also, i added a link to pat's pther band's site, the deadeyes, check em out. Alright, see you all at the shows! -chris
10-21-03 - Hey everyone, so we're gearing up for our return show on Nov. 1st and we're looking for partys to play in Ashland on halloween night. If you've heard of anything, just a possible address, fucking anything, please send us an email. We just want to play for the kids, and maybe give away some cds while we're at it. So we're all very stoked for the upcoming show and are hoping to book more asap in the reno/tahoe area, among others. Well, thanks for the support and stop reading this and go download a free goddamned cd already! See you at the shows. - Chris
9-28-03 - Meet Dave 
He is our new singer
and will be rocking with us for the next few shows. Rock on. -chris
9-20-03 - More awesome news in the world of the Vampirates!!! Dave from Reno's Twice has decided to help us out and is our current singer!! He will be in the band playing shows with us over the next few months. It's going to be fucking unreal. We are planning some shows for around halloween-ish so be on the lookout for those. We will be playing in Reno and Ashland and hopefully in other areas as well. This is the beginning of a new era in the Vampirates, and much is to come. Keep checking back for updates on shows. Fuck yeah, have a good weekend everyone. - chris
9-16-03 - Fuck yeah. I just got off the phone with Geoff, and it is now confirmed? The Vampirates will live again, without a doubt. We will be continuing on without Eddie, and hopefully with a new singer. But if all else fails, Pat and I will take over the duties of singing, at least until we find someone to fill Eddie's shoes. So be ready Southern Oregon, because the Vampirates will rock your fucking face off without thinking twice. See you all in January. -chris
9-03-03 - Okay... so i know i've been promising new mp3's from our cd for a long ass time, but the day has finally come! I put the whole cd (except for track 15 simply because it's too long, so those of you who have copies already should be stoked) up and as an added bonus for the long-ass wait for these, i put up a full live set from pat's room. Please enjoy these and give as many copies as you can to everyone you do and don't know. Alright... have fun... -chris
9-02-03 - Wow... it's been awhile since i've done anything on this page.
Where do I begin? Well... here is where the vampirates stand as of right now.
Eddie has quit the band and will not be playing anymore shows with the
vampirates, we wish him luck with his future and hope to play with him
sometime in the future. There are no problems between us and eddie, he just
has lost the interest, and there's nothing we can do. But do not fear... the
Vampirates will continue on without eddie. So as you may have guessed, we are
looking for a new singer. My only requirements are as follows: anyone who can
and will write lyrics, won't be a flake, has energy, is willing to practice on
a daily basis, and will be ready to rock by december. Also, should be between
ages 18-25ish... Oh yeah... so I (chris) won't be back up to Ashland
permananty until December, but hopefully we will have the cd remixed and
mastered and re-released with art and everything else sometime between now and
then. Well, thanks for your intrest and suppport and expect us to be back in
action in early 2004!!!! In the meantime I will post some mp3's, and keep up
with anything as far as updates go. Don't stop rockin' and check out the
latest Death By Stereo cd... holy fucking shit.

And there you have it. The track list for Shitpanzimps. Thanks for paying the free dollars to have your very own copy of it. Well, as far as the band goes right now, we're on sort-of a haiatus, but there will be shows over summer. I promise. We will hopefully play in reno and go all the way up to portland and the areas between. So keep looking for updates on such topics. In the meantime, if you're in ?ortland, go see the Deadeyes, and if you're in reno, go see Twice, and look out for a new hardcore band featuring myself (chris) and dave from twice. It should be great times. Okay, enough ranting. Have a good and safe summer. -chris
6-10-03 - Fuck yeah. The first Vampirates full length cd is about to be born and unleashed on society. We recorded all 14 songs in one day, and mixed and mastered it in 2. I am very excited for people to hear what we've been working on for nearly half a year now. I will post 2 or 3 new mp3s as soon as i get a final master copy of it, so keep on the look out for those. We will start giving out copys tomorrow, that is Wednesday June 11th. So if you're interested in getting yourself a copy please email me or talk to me or any of the other members in this here band. Big thanks goes out to Arron for stepping up and recording us for the best price anyone could imagine. Well, i'll have more details as soon as we've decided on the order, and artwork. Thanks for the support. -chris
6-2-03 - Wow, it's been awhile... Well, we had a great time in reno, thanks to Jim and the rest of twice for having us. Mav Comai and Divinity of Truth are amazing bands and i feel very special for having seen them. Umm, so we're running out of time before we begin our summer-haiatus, when me pat and eddie go home for summer. We will, however, still be playing as many shows as possible, and i will have all of those updates on this here site. Look out portland... okay, sleepy sleepy time. Hopefully we'll have a show or 2 before we leave. Maybe not. Bye. -chris
5-2-03 - A new month is upon us, and i'm one year older... Yay. Anyway, we had to cancel our appearance tonight in Medford, due to unexpected conflict... I'm sorry if you were planning on seeing us, but there will be more shows very soon. Umm... I'm kinda bored with the site, and have sort of run out of ideas for it, so if you have any comments or suggestions, please send me an e-mail. Also, if you're a band and want to do shows or something, send us an e-mail, cause we're up for anything at this point. One more thing... Shows in Eugene, Corvallis, and Portland are in the works, so if you can help, let us know... Okay, enough ranting... Later all. -chris
4-25-03 - Hey everybody... so i've almost recovered from my recent journey to see Motorhead and The Dwarves in Reno... It was fucking amazing to say the least. Anyway, in band news, we've begun to write some new songs to replace some of the older more simple and boring songs, and for that i am very stoked. Also we've got a few upcoming shows, some of which asre confirmed, and other are in the works still... Well, it's time to get outta here, see ya at the shows. - chris
4-14-03 - So after many combined hours of slaving over our computers... Ryan and I bring you live video of the Vampirates!!! There are videos from 2 shows, 1 of which is a whole show (w/o one song...)!!!! I'm pretty damn excited about this... so please leave you thoughts in an e-mail or on the guestbook. Okay... it's bedtime... - chris
4-13-03 - M'yello everyone... thanks for coming out to our shows if you did, and special thanks to Hit Me Back from LA (these kids are touring in a MINIVAN!! 6 kids in a minivan with all of their gear, FUCKING HARDCORE!!!!) and Debauchery, last night sure was fun. We're looking to do some more shows in the area ASAP, so if you have anything in mind, send us an e-mail. Umm, as always we've got new songs in the works, and some tour plans coming up in Sept. (more info as i get it). Well, thanks about all from behind the prison walls, so peace out and don't die (while speaking to people...). - chris
4-10-03 - Hey everyone... umm... we've got a few new songs that we'll be playing tonight and on saturday in Medford... By the way, thanks Evo's for hooking us up with s?ows!! That's really fucking awesome!! Anyway... more work is still to be done on the demo... but it'll be done somewhat soon, my vocal tracks are gonna have to wait, seeing as i can barely talk at times... i think i'm dying... anyway, hope to see you at one of the upcoming shows, and i'll try not to puke on you. - chris
4-5-03 - So I changed some things on the site, i think it looks much much better... Pat cut his hair... we wrote a new song... There's a new MP3 up!! Keep in mind that it's very rough and is not finished yet... i just wanted to get rid of the other shit-p3's and also give you an idea of what's to come on the EP. Umm.. there's a few new pics up on the recording pics page, and there's pics of pat cutting his hair on the various pics page... okay, that's about it for now... later! - chris
4-4-03 - 
- chris
4-3-03 - So just to prove to you that we're getting off our asses after our week off, which was nice, by the way, I put some pics up of us recording the EP. There's some recording pics, and some pics of the room at nighttime, it's pretty gnarly... anyway... all of the drum-tracks are done as of last night, and most of the bass tracks are done, also! Oh yeah, there's a kegger coming up in a week, i'll have better details ASAP. Okay, enough of this... i'm out. - chris
4-2-03 - Okay... Getting a call around 3:30 on april fools day from evo's asking us to play that night seems kinda odd... but we went with it anyway... and while telling people about the show we stumbled across a party that was also to be had the same evening. They asked us if we could play... damn, 2 shows in one night coming out of nowhere... what the fuck? So anyway... the shows went rad, and we're now in the process of recording a 5-song demo! Expect some real sound clips within a week or so, and also expect pics from these 2 gnar-shows. Okay... guitar/bass tracks to finish... Later. - chris
3-31-03 - Hello all. Wow... so much to talk about... our first real show went nicely, everyone had a good time. Thanks for coming out, if you did, and if you didn't, please go fuck yourself... that's you James. There are pics up from that show, so check out the pics page. Also there are now lyrics up!! We have a show coming up in may in Reno, and possibly one more that weekend also. Many other shows are in the works so keep checkin' the site over the next few weeks. Okay. - chris
3-12-03 - So we played our first show ever last night and it couldn't have gone any better. There are a shitload of new pics up, some from the show, others from practice. Umm, that's about all of the news we have for now. See ya in the pit. - chris
3-9-03 - Okay, we're uploaded! There's pics up, and the mp3's have been changed. I know that the pics page probably takes forever to load, and i'm very sorry about that. I'll have thumbnails very shortly to make thing more simple. If you have any suggestions or complaints, please send me an email. Okay, so we're gonna play a show in Greensprings C for all of the residents that want to check us out. So check out the shows page for details. Tours are still in the works, and other stuff too. Well, peace out. - chris
3-4-03 - So I'm creating a page for us against Pat's will... he likes it. The band is coming together nicely and we'll be more than ready for our upcoming shows across the valley. Hopefully in april we'll make it up into northern Oregon and down to Reno and northern Cali. So go to our fuckin' shows cause we'll rock your balls off! Later. -chris
