   About Fiberoctopus
Here are some silly drawings I've done. Just something to look at while you listen.

Thanks for being here. Hope you enjoy the music.

BIO
Fiberoctopus is a band out of San Diego featuring a dude named Gavin singing and playing guitar, Karie singing and playing various musical accessories, and our newest member: John the drummer. (We had a bassist named Chris, but he left the band due to medical reasons.) Gavin also still does solo recording under the name, so it's kinda like two or three projects in one, but the band version of the band began playing live in the summer of 2007. We're currently aiming to record more songs and play more shows.

SERVICES AVAILABLE
Want a live performance by Fiberoctopus at your gig, party, or social function within reasonable driving distance of San Diego, California? Let us know.


Don't be afraid to add us. While technically a "band" account, this also doubles as Gavin's personal myspace.. I at least skim through my bulletins and read some. Also, I don't send random event invites, I don't post random "check me out!" comments, and I don't post that many bulletins.


Here are some more songs:
Another Day (Karie on lead vocals)
Holland, 1945 (a Neutral Milk Hotel cover)
A Better Son/Daughter (Rilo Kiley cover, w/ Neutral Milk Hotel bookends)
Wet Match (kinda long and sad)
All Along The Watchtown2000 (kinda dark but bouncy)
Mix for Beth (Overture) (short jam)
I'm on Fire (Bruce Springsteen cover)
and check out this little animated short at youtube.

Oh nice, you got some Whispertown2000. It's difficult to redo a W2K song, 'cause Morgans voice is so distinctive and hard to imitate. But you work it out so you didn't have to. It turned out brilliant. And I loved how you mixed it right in the middle and then finished. Great job, man.

Take care.
