hotboxed will not be able to play suckfest in The Dalles on the 13th. Unfortunately the bands work schedules have not been able to allow the time for the trip down to the show. We are really disappointed about this and the last thing we want to do is not play a show. Best of luck to Happy Gnome and One Star Sky, as this is a farewell show for both bands. You can be sure we will be in The Dalles as soon as possible to show you some of the new shit we have going right now. -- hotboxed will be playing this Friday the 12th at the Paris Theatre. Tickets are only 5 dollars from a band member so make sure you find one of us before the show.

hotboxed is proud to take home 3rd place in the "it’s your fault band search". We played our ass off at the Roseland and received a good crowed response, but in the end the Judges picked two of the least heavy, old school rock bands ahead of us and the more rock oriented bands. This should make for an interesting combination next to Korn and Disturbed. So that puts us on at 5:55pm after Trapt on the second stage. Thanks to KUFO for this opportunity, and thanks to all of you for getting us this far. We will see you all tomorrow.

hotboxed will be playing the Roseland Grill (downstairs) on Wednesday, July 9th. This show will be the last round of the “It’s your fault band search” and will decide what set time we get at Rockfest. The grand prize of course is opening for Korn. The event is free to the public, although it is 21 and over. There will be three judges, but crowd reaction helps and certainly influences the judges. On-site on Wednesday night, KUFO will have an enter-to-win box for each band. At the end of the night, KUFO will draw one name from each box and that person wins the chance to get on the second stage and announce the local band. Enter to win in our box and you just may be hanging out backstage getting ready to announce us! Craig the Dogfaced Boy and Porkchop will be hosting the show so it’s sure to be a good time. The Show starts at 8pm and hotboxed will be playing second. We hope to see you there, and be sure to stick around for the results of the contest.
