So, 2 years later and WR is actually trying out for the OSU battle of the bands. Pretty much the only reason I
went to college was so that we could play. (Check out the first news post at the bottom of the page.) Pretty crazy. I just
wanted to say thanks to everyone who has helped us make it as far as we can. We are SO much better than we were 2 years ago
and we have you guys to thank for it. This webpage is pretty obsolete except for you guys who actually take the time to look
at it. Thanks alot, we love you all. (Keep voting in the hotness pole!)

Hey boys and girls! Chad is now in college so hes learning up a storm even tho he doesnt ever wake up for class.
Pat and Timmy are living at the same house we were in this summer and Adam is doing the junior college thing. Andrew is rockin
out at westpoint but he will be back for a show or two around thanksgiving. CHECK OUT THE SHOWS SECTION (we have some new
ones that we would love to see you guys at) We finally have money so we are finishing the CD in a week or so. We are also
planning a tour for mid-December. The plan is to go down to southern California and play shows on the way down and then back
up again. Rock on a look for the CD sometime soon its seriously gunna rock hardcore.
WR says: remember to vote
(right-wing) fool...

Its about time to update the webpage again! After a kick ass summer of living in the 9th st. house, its time for Chad
to go to OSU. Tim and Adam are attending LBCC soon as well. As far as WR goes, summer was crap. A few shows here and there
but we tried to finish our CD but no longer have any money to continue work on it. It will happen one day and we'll get our
asses in gear to have some more shows and hopefully a CD for you guys. We should be having quite a few campus gigs around
if you guys wanna check those out. Give one of us a holler, we love people...
P.S. if youre old enough, go vote
P.P.S if youre smart enough, vote for Bush
A special thanks to Edward R. Epley (the ketchup dude) for donating money for the 9/11 show that we played at. We
got you good Epley.

Its that time of the year where we finally get around to changing the website. Anyway, thanks to all the kids who let
us know that they dont like us. We love you anyway and would like to invite you to listen to our new side project the
WRamones. (boy do we know our roots) Anyway, we've finally started recording a new CD and despite a one month break to get
a $1000 Mesa Boogie guitar amp for Sean's studio, we should be starting back up soon. Also, Andrew is in boot camp and from
what we've heard its pretty damn hard so if anyone wants us to sent anything to him, let us know and we'll pass
on your kind words. Some new shows should be popping up in the shows section soon so keep your eyes peeled. We've had a bunch
of shows but we'll remember to tell you guys about em in the future.
P.S. Come rock and roll with Tim, Chode, and Pat in our big green garage anytime you want. Its across from Borders on
9th street so give us a holler or head on over. 757-0856 call at anytime cus we go to bed at 3 or so
5-13-04
Hey boys and girls, moms and dads, and the few people that like to go to the site even tho they hate our
band: We've got 6 shows in the next two weeks so you guys should come check us out at some point. Look at the "shows" section
and look at whats commin up. We finally got an order for WR shirts put in! If you want a shirt, let us know the size you would
like. (ya we got kids sizes as well for all you girls) They're only like 11 bucks or something like that. We are also planning
to start recording with Sean Daly at Blackout Studios sometime soon and actually get a new CD recorded. Anyway, keep commin
to the shows, we love it, seriously.
P.S. Everyone let Andrew know that bootcamp is going to suck compared to being a Wheelchair Renegade.

Last night we played a show at the Solid State in Portland with the Whistle Pigs. The room was teeny and
in the basement of some old hotel. None the less, it was a tight show, the Whistle Pigs, as usual rocked
out and brought SKA back to life, and we sold all of our CDs and half of our video tapes instantly after the show. SO if you
kids want a CD (its just the same CD that we've had for a while now, or a video (its got live clips of us playing and just
messing around, and then our entire set at the Santiam Battle of the bands) give us a holler. CD's are $3 and Videos
are $4. I'll let you in on a secret tho, if you buy both, well give em to you for $6
Keep commin to the shows!

Hey kiddies, we got more news from WR. Last night the Santiam Battle of the Bands went absolutely
awesome. WR won 500 bucks and made some friends in other bands that we'll be paying with in the future. The night
was a blast thanks to all who came, were gonna start working on getting a good recording done (finally) so we're checking
out studios now. We also just made WR promo vids for 3 bucks each so stop by a show or throw us an email if you want
one. Keep coming to the shows and thanks for all the support its great. This summer we're putting together
a 3 week west coast tour so we will keep you updated as to how thats coming along. Anyways keep checking us out, have
fun, and remember George W. Bush rocks and if it was legal he'd probably bomb you hippies too, so count your blessings that
your alive to protest, cause you might be next.
Take it easy and keep rockin

and see us play. Check the shows section and come rock out. Come support WR as we compete against some other bands and singers
at Teen Idol. If we win, well finally have the $$$ to start on WR shirts, stickers, wristbands, and a brand spankin new

WR's ADVICE FOR THE WEEK:
-If you are a boy, please dont marry another boy
-Remember that feminism is the radical notion that women are people too
-Support the WaR on terror

Two nights ago WR played for a packed out Roseland Show. Thanks to everyone for the support. It
absolutley rocked and rolled as well. Good to meet some new friends in bands and all that crap. We got some new
shows coming up, we'll post em in the shows section. Good to finally see some crowd surfing the Roseland show Andrew
loved it. Anyways, stay cool and dont do guys (if your a guy, if your a girl then game on).
-WR

Hey kiddies, we're in the middle of recording with Sean Daly for our official demo CD. (This will be the
CD that gets us famous) Anyway, the song lineup for this CD is as follows: 1.Pats Song 2.Lonely Guy 3.Chodesong 4.Ska Song.
(We'll have some better names for at least "Ska Song") Lookout for us on Warp Tour as we will be trying out for a contest
to be able to play on one of the warp tour stops in the NW. NEWS FLASH: Andrew had injured his arm and so we hope he
recovers before we are done recording "Ska Song" because what's SKA without horns? Anyway, thanks for listening to our aspirations
to become famous over the last few months...

ROCK AND ROLL WILL NEVER DIE! The Wheelchair Renegades officially blew the roof off of NW Hills Community
Church on November 8th 2002. 90 screaming middle school kids showed up and got the poo rocked out of them before
the end of the night. The crazy ska-rock-punk-erific madness had everyone jumpin around and wanting more.
The newest addition to the band is Andrew Wilhelm, a cute little boy from Corvallis who plays some mean trombone. In
other news battle of the bands tryouts are a week from this friday and when we play we might share a stage with "The Get Up
Kids." Another show has been added to the list and its on December 17th at NW Hills Community Church. The official
BAD LOCAL BAND PATHETIC SHOW TOUR is coming in Dec. and maybe even to a town near you. If you live in C-Town come check us
out sometime and buy a tour shirt. Thats all there is so peace out my home dawgs. Take it easy and if you see
a WR member make sure to give him a BIG hug or a nice little kiss (only if you are a cute girl).
11-5-02
The music is slowly improving. Ya, our lyrics are kinda lame but we dont mind. The future of the band
is looking fine. Tim and Chad are going to go to LBCC so as far as we know, there will always be some sort of music flowing
through these boys veins and to the screaming fans. We're no where near pro, but we'll get there. Thanks to all
1 of our fans here in Corvallis, thanks for being patient and super cool.

Kyle didn't want to play drums. Don't post dumb crap on the site.
10-23-02
Don't worry everyone, a pictures page will soon be up on the web site. A problem is that we are only
allowed 20 megs worth of crap and we are at 18.5 so we'll see what happens. In response to a question about Chode's
Song, it is a song that Chad wrote for a project in health class, chad and kyle were goofing around and tried to make
up a cool song. It wasn't till later on that his genius, homosexuality, and his disire of a certain girl made
Chode rerwite it and put music to it ,making it the rockin song it is today.
10-16-02
Well well, this is our attempt at a web site so check out all the pages. It sucks
right now, but someday it might be cool. The Wheelchair Renegades are currently in the process of trying out for the
esteemed "Battle of the Bands" at the Oregon State University MU.
