***The Accused prepare to finish off 2007 by playing a "Family, Friends, Freaks = IN FREE" show @ Seattle Drum School's 'The LAB' in North Seattle on Saturday, December 15, 2007;

A Festive Holiday Spirit will no doubt fill the room as The Accused perform with long-time pals, D.E.K.--once again paring-up the two thrill-hungry bands for a night of memorable music and Holiday Cheer. The LAB is located just E. of Interstate 5 on NE 125th St. and 5th Ave NE; The show is EARLY in the evening, and you wouldn't want to miss out sitting on Santa's bag, so get there somewhere between 7-10:30pm if you wanna see these bands. DEK opens, The Accused close it down. DO NOT MISS THIS EVENT!*** (see flyer on this website's home page!)

IN OTHER RELATED NEWS FROM THE ACCUSED:
The December 15th 2007 show at The LAB in Seattle will be the first gig as new bassist for The Accused for young Dorando Hobrous--who's better-known regionally as the mighty bass-bruiser for Seattle's thick-as-a-brick, LESBIAN. (pictured L in photo below) A huge horror/gore movie fan and all-around musical maniac, Dorando is a welcome addition to the House of Splatter That Rock Built. We welcome him unto our posse. Come check this shit out on Sat. Dec. 15, weasels. Get ready for some wreckage. Cheers! Martha

The ACCUSED Solid Performing at Jimmy'Z with New Bassist, 'Diamond Vincent' Jim Davis ; (April 2007) -The new Accused line-up (pictured below) performed at Jimmy'Z club in Everett, WA on Saturday March 31, 2007 before a MASSIVE crowd of enthusiastic fans. Welcoming the new ACCUSED line-up with open arms, the mostly inebriated mob refrained from their long-standing ritual of peeing on the bartenders; instead opting for a much more socially acceptable mild 'heckling' of our beloved Splatter boys. However, it was all in good fun, as the band reciprocated by crapping in the gas tanks of the vehicles parked outside that belonged to the amazingly ignorant, cro-magnon security goons that have somehow landed employment at the club. Fun was had by all, and we're sure to see The Accused back in Everett very soon; just probably never again at that particular venue. Thanks to everyone who attended! Too bad that club went and hired a moron-heavy security staff that really took the wind outta everyone's sails.  (l-r pictured are: Tom, Jim, Mike, Brad- The ACCUSED)

The ACCUSED perform at L.A. Murderfest 3.0!
On Sunday March 25, 2007, the City of Angels got paid a little visit by the Kings of Splatter. With a couple super cool moves by some super cool folks involved in the annual Murderfest gig (now in its third year), The Accused were added to the Sunday night line-up at Hollywood's 'Knitting Factory' club as the fourth co-headlining band for the evening. Joining The Accused to close-out the two-day, 40 band metal fest were Anal Cunt, Pig Destroyer and vicious thrash veterans, Brutal Truth! The Accused wanna thank Ron Martinez with 'Crawlspace Booking' and Daniel Dismal, Murderfest promoter for making this mammoth gig happen, and for adding The Accused to the line-up. Extra Special thanks to old friend, Aaron Slipp (PRONG, Rorschach Test, Society One, et al.) for performing bass-playing honors that night. For reviews and info on who all was there, check losangelestmurderfest.com for more!
