Know Customers,
I regret to inform you that an error in our credit card processing happened during the last days of February, this was a computer issue at the processing company and not an error by The Know or your servers. As a result transactions may just now be appearing on your bank statements. Epos Merchant Services has assured me that the delay occurred to insure all transactions were reviewed and processed correctly. We apologize for any confusion and difficulty this may have caused.

It's not officially a 3-day weekend, at least not according to the US Postal Service (but they're practically obsolete, so fuck 'em!). We intend to fire-up our forthcoming Rock&Roll Weekend at The Know on THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 28th and not let up until sunday morning!

It's a strange time we live in...digital...

Last year's Top 10 show "retrospective" was effectively the catalyst for regular blogging on our website. It proved to be a fun exercise and really put into perspective all of the awesome stuff that we've been fortunate to host at The Know. It's easy to forget and/or take for granted certain events when you've constantly got exciting stuff looming on the horizon. For instance, we're a little more than a week away from our 8th Anniversary show, which will undoubtedly be a front-runner in making next year's Top-10!
I don't remember narrowing-down last year's Top-10 being such a chore though....

The winter months are upon us, but we don't intend to spend these dark-days in hibernation. Instead, we've planned for some of the undergrounds' finest acts to play our stage over the coming weeks.

Joe Preston, and his solo-incarnation THRONES, need no introduction. Mr. Preston is a veteraned/hallowed Northwest practitioner of all things heavy, having served time with The Melvins, Earth, Sun O))) and High On Fire.
