Good News! The Octaves have an official website again! After a month or two scramble, and an address change, you can access the new site at www.richmondoctaves.com
It's not complete just yet, but enjoy the members and history section. I'll be working on the alumni section later, but first we have to generate a list of all the alumni in the world. So respond to this post with the names and years of all Octaves you know who haven't been listed yet. I really hope we have enough Taves reading this site to get a complete list.
So,
-Visit the new site.
-Respond with the names of all the Taves you know exist.
Peace and love,
--Mike--

Inactivity
Alums,
Sorry for the recent inactivity on the blog. I've been completely swamped with work here at the end of the semester. If you all want to start a dialogue, feel free to do so. I should be back to posting again in May after exams.

We are proud of the achievements of our latest album and honored to have been nominated for three CARAs. Shotgun is still on sale through the Octaves (contact Lee) or the UR bookstore. The Octaves' ninth album is currently in planning, but look for it to hit shelves as early as Fall 2009.
