BIOGRAPHY
Four Hundred Years were not merely a band, but a phenomenon. A force of emo/hardcore intensity that began in Tucson, Arizona, following the end of Groundwork, they eventually migrated to Richmond, Virginia. Four Hundred Years amassed a large, frenzied, and rabid audience. Intelligent and intricate with a perfect blend of melody and dissonance in all the right places, Four Hundred Years had unparalleled abilities to captivate their listeners and turn them loose on an unsuspecting music world. Alternative Press noted, "Combined with the weight of their political views, the tension of Four Hundred Years' music is simultaneously a catharsis and a call to arms."

Whats up? I found this website and thought i'd tell everyone, it shows you if anyone at school likes you... I dont know how it works but its really cool, its revealed a few people who have had crushes on me FOREVER, i called them up and it was actually true! You gotta try it!
400 years was one of my favorite bands. I had seen them in Huntington Beach Ca. in 1997 with sleepy time trio and they blew me away. When I heard that they were playing three last shows on east coast there was one thought in my mind , I had to go. I bought a plane ticket to the east coast coming from San Francisco and ended up in Richmond Va. for the first of the last three shows. The band was so great. They let me travel with them to the shows. Bull let me sleep on his couch. I was on stage for the last show standing by Dave....it was amazing..... I still have the set list...
I only saw 400 Years twice, and once was at their next-to-next-to last show. I still have the screen printed "400 Years - Final Shows" hedgehog poster. You guys were awesome. Jason
