Hey Tough Customers and Cheap skates-you can get our music including our new album "Stimulus Package" that was released on 9/26/09 on i-tunes and cdbaby.com!
Rock n' Roll. Johnny Thunders without the dope. Early kiss without the makeup. The MC5 without the fro. These guys don't need the makeup, women's cloths or a singer with big hair to rock, all they need is: 2 guitars, a bass, drums, 3 pairs of sticks, 3 guitar cords, 2 Marshall full stacks, a Orange bass head, a Custom bass cabinet, patch cords, a power strip, 4 hookers, and 6 drunken friends.
Noted as the 2nd best band in Portland, 8-FOOT TENDER stems from Long Beach Legends such as The Humpers, Falling Idols, Busface, and The Charms. Since the Spring of 1994, 8 Foot Tender has kept music lovers coming back for more. Why then, may you ask, have I never heard them before? Well heres your chance to see what happens to 4 of the finest musicians hailing from the So Cal area, when they are transported to Northern territory.
Jeff Fieldhouse (Suicide Kings, The Humpers) L.A./ Long Beach
Greg Odell (Falling Idols, Busface) Long Beach
Saul Koll (The Charms) San Diego
Glen Brunton (Tin Idols, Rat Pack) Santa Barbara

From Portland Oregon, 8-Foot Tender have produced over 7 albums in the past 15 years, 1 including Scott "Deluxe" Drake (singer & front man of the legendary Humpers), and two more with Drake as The World's Strongest Men on his solo albums "Grand Mal" and "Beneath the Bloodshot Lights".
Our newest release "Stimulus Package" is already infamous.
This is the kind of rock music you never thought you'd need...until you hear it.-Mike Rophoné/Backseat Beat, April 1994
"Rock n' Roll...This is a damn fine album. Now a days alot of people can't see (or hear for that matter) a good band when it's right in front of their face. If you're tired of being spoon fed your rock , try a bite out of this 8-Foot Tender...and no, it don't taste like chicken! This band will lay the law on how it is and always was, and will not compromise anything in the name of FUN. Before you buy little Timmy that NSYNC disc, let him choke on a little 8 FT, at least that way he can grow up and be outta your house by the time he's 18."
"Oh My God It's 8-Foot Tender! I'm listening to this record as I type.(for the 50th time)Although the production on this disc is low-fi in comparison to their live show, it still rocks! This stuff is just good old snotty,dirty rock-n-roll featuring the likes of ex-Humper Jeff Fieldhouse and old-world-craftsman Saul Koll. There's a little Humpersesque feel to it but it also reminds me of Dead Moon with some Johnny Thunders sweeping guitar. The best track is without a doubt "Cry Baby" but it's also hard to deny "Glen's Pants". I've been a fan of these guys for years and so should you. Buy this disc now you won't regret it (unless,of course,you like your Rock gutless and boring)."
Gearhead Magazine - Spring/Summer 1997 / Bruce Saltmarsh
8-Foot Tender is about to emerge, featuring Jeff Fieldhouse (ex of The Humpers). As far as their cassette goes, I'll have to quote my (drunk and retarded) wife, "Rock, rock, and then this shit fuckin' rocks. Nothing else matters, this fuckin' shit rocks."
Willamette Week - September 1995
"...an up-and-coming [band] dispensing punky power chords and fuzzed-out pop. Elemental tongue-in-cheek, 8-Foot Tender has one mode: fast and furious."
"very cool dirty loose R n R. Like a lucky shake of the dice after too many free shots at the craps table. Pretty fun." S.S. 2007

It seems the people dancing in the front row are some pretty interesting folks. It is a blessing that Anton Long was paying attention at Duff's Garage 11 Oct 2009, so that this lovely dancer could be immortalized on celluloid.
The syndicate thanks you for killin' it last night at Duff's. A perfect way to close the evening. I'm starting to hear some Surf Punks in yer routine - and that's a really good thing in my book. Many thanks - and btw you were Ivan's personal request for the show - so thanx for makin' a young man's dream come true. Well... something like that.
