MAY 21ST AS THOSE OF YOU KNOW WHO ATTENDED OUR LAST SHOW GENE HAS REJOINED THE BAND. BUT MUCH LIKE THE PHOENIX HIS REBIRTH HAS COME AT A COST. HE IS NO LONGER THE FRIENDLY LOVABLE "GENEBEAN" THAT WE ALL KNOW AND LOVE. HE IS NOW "MEANGENE" A MISERABLE PRICK OF A MAN. I EVEN HEARD HE KICKS BUNNIES NOW....DESPICABLE. WE ARE STOKED TO HAVE HIM BACK. HAVING HIM BACK HAS REENERGIZED THE BAND. WE ARE STARTING TO BOOK SEVERAL SHOWS FOR THE SUMMER AND WORKING ON THE LAST BATCH OF SONGS TO BE RECORDED FOR THE NEXT CD.

A COUPLE SHOWS COMING UP. THIS FRIDAY (MAY 27TH) WE'LL BE OPENING FOR "PUNK ROCK KARAOKE" AT JILLIAN'S.

WE ALSO HAVE A GOOD SKATE SHOW COMING UP AT A NEW SKATE PARK IN SUMMERLIN AND THAT ONES FREE. SEE YA THERE. LAST UPDATED MAY 9TH WE'VE BEEN BUSY RECORDING FOR THE LAST WEEK. WE'LL BE LAYING DOWN THE VOCALS THIS WEEK AND WE'LL HAVE 4 OF THE NEW SONGS DONE FOR THE NEXT ALBUM. WE ALSO HAVE A SHOW OR TWO COMING UP IN THE VEGAS AREA SO CHECK OUT THE SHOWS PAGE FOR DETAILS. AZURE IS DOING VERY GOOD NOW. HE'S HOME AND WEIGHS ABOUT 7 POUNDS NOW. I'LL LET YOU KNOW WHEN THE RECORDINGS DONE. LAST UPDATED FEB 28 GOT A SHOW FOR YOU AT GAMEWORKS NEXT WEDNESDAY THE 9TH OF MARCH. WE'LL BE PLAYING A LOT OF NEW SONGS FOR YA SINCE THAT'S WHAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON FOR THE LAST TWO MONTHS. WE'VE GOT ABOUT 7 OR 8 NEW ONES DONE FOR THE NEXT CD SO WE SHOULD BE READY TO RECORD IN A FEW MONTHS. WE'LL BE DOING OUR FIRST DEMO OF THE NEW SONGS IN A FEW WEEKS. AZURE IS DOING OK. HE'S GAINED ABOUT 9 OZ ALREADY AND IS BREATHING ON HIS OWN NOW. HE IS A REAL FIGHTER AND IMPROVING IN ALL AREAS. THERE IS STILL A BIG CONCERN OF THE SWELLING IN HIS BRAIN THOUGH SO WE MIGHT HAVE TO GIVE HIM A SHUNT OR SOMETHING TO HELP RELIEVE THE PRESSURE. MORE LATER. LAST UPDATED FEB 17 HEY GANG SORRY TO NOT KEEP YOU IN THE LOOP BUT I'VE HAD A LOT OF PERSONAL STUFF GOING ON IN THE LAST WEEK. JENN HAD OUR BABY LAST FRIDAY. AZURE JAMES IRVINE (CAMPA) WAS BORN FRIDAY FEB 11TH. HE WAS BORN 2 MONTHS EARLY IN AN EMERGENCY C - SECTION. HE WEIGHED 2 POUNDS AT BIRTH AND SOME BLEEDING HAS OCCURRED IN HIS BRAIN. NEEDLESS TO SAY THE LAST WEEK HAS BEEN VERY HARD FOR ME, LOTS OF STRESS AND LOTS OF TEARS. HE'S BEEN GETTING STRONGER EVERY DAY, HE EVEN OPENED HIS EYES AND LOOKED AT ME YESTERDAY. BUT THERE'S A GOOD CHANCE THAT EVEN IF HE PULLS THROUGH HE COULD HAVE SOME PERMANENT DAMAGE IN HIS BRAIN. ALL I ASK IS THAT EVERYONE TAKE A MINUTE TO GIVE BABY AZURE A LITTLE PRAYER OR SOME GOOD THOUGHTS. HE'LL BE ONE WEEK OLD ON FRIDAY...
LAST UPDATED DEC 24TH DEC 31ST WILL NOT ONLY BE THE LAST SHOW OF THE YEAR FOR HAPPY CAMPERS IT WILL BE THE LAST SHOW WITH BASS PLAYER GENE BEAN. GENE HAS PUT IN 4 YEARS AS A CAMPER BUT HAS DECIDED TO MOVE ON TO A NORMAL LIFE. SO IF YOU WANT TO SEE GENE ON BASS ONE LAST TIME BEFORE HE RIDES OFF INTO THE SUNSET MAKE SURE YOU COME DOWN TO JILLIAN'S ON THE 31ST AND PARTY THE YEAR AWAY WITH US. WE HAVE ENLISTED FORMER CAMPER "ERNTIE BERNTIE" TO HELP US CONTINUE TO GET THE NEXT ALBUM WRITTEN AND ALL THE BUGS WORKED OUT ON THE NEW SONGS. WHETHER THAT WILL BE A TEMPORARY OR PERMANENT SOLUTION STILL REMAINS TO BE SEEN BUT IM SURE WE WILL PLAY SOME SHOWS WITH ERNIE ON BASS EITHER WAY. FOR THOSE WHO DON'T REMEMBER ERNIE OR WEREN'T BORN BEFORE THE TIME HE WAS IN THE BAND ARE IN FOR A TREAT AS HE IS VERY TALENTED AND FUNNY. ALSO I HAVE PUT THE FINISHING TOUCHES ON THE "CAMPFIRE SONGS" RERELEASE FOR MONKEYASS RECORDS. THERE WILL BE FOUR BONUS SONGS FROM DEMOS WE RECORDED IN THAT ERA AND THE WHOLE THING HAS BEEN BOOSTED A BIT TO GIVE IT A LITTLE MORE UMPHH. I DON'T KNOW IF WE'LL HAVE THEM BACK IN TIME FOR THE NEW YEAR'S SHOW BUT SOON AFTER THAT.
LAST UPDATED NOV 9TH LOOKS LIKE THE PUNKS SAVE CHRISTMAS SHOW IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. WE WERE GOING TO HAVE THE SPECIAL SURPRISE OF HAVING THE VANDALS PLAY BUT UNFORTUNATELY THERE IS A LACK OF VENUES IN VEGAS RIGHT NOW WITH THE HUNTRIDGE BEING CLOSED. THE HOB AND JOINT WERE ALREADY TAKEN SO WE NO SHOW. BUT WE DO HAVE A BIG SHOW COMING UP ON NEW YEARS WITH REEL BIG FISH, ZEBRAHEAD, VOODOO GLOW SKULLS AND A COUPLE OTHERS. WELL SEE YA THEN ON AND OUR NEXT SHOW FALLS CONVENIENTLY TWO DAYS AFTER MY BIRTHDAY SO BE WARNED THAT YOU HAVE 15 SHOPPING DAYS. LAST UPDATED OCT 12TH LINED A COUPLE SHOWS UP FOR THE HOLIDAY TIME. MOSTLY IN LAS VEGAS AS WERE ALL BUSY WORKING A LOT RIGHT NOW. THE "3RD PUNKS SAVE CHRISTMAS" SHOW IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER. THE 3RD "BUMFIGHTS" IS OUT AND HAS SOME TRACKS BY US ON IT. EVERYTHING COMES IN 3'S. LIKE WHEN FAMOUS PEOPLE DIE. SUPERMAN DIED TODAY. THAT WAS THE FIRST MOVIE I THINK I EVER SAW IN THE THEATRE. OH WELL AT LEAST AQUA MAN IS STILL ALIVE AND KICKING. SEE YOU AT THE SHOWS. LAST UPDATED AUG 28TH IT'S BACK TO SCHOOL TIME AGAIN AND WE'RE LOOKING FOR A COUPLE YOUNG UP AND COMING BANDS TO PLAY WITH US AT GAMEWORKS NEXT MONTH. IF YOUR BAND FITS THAT GIVE ME AN EMAIL AT ISAACCAMPA@AOL.COM WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON SOME NEW SONGS AND WE HAVE ABOUT 4 NEW ONES DOWN RIGHT NOW. YOU CAN HEAR ONE OR TWO AT THE NEXT SHOW AT GAMEWORKS ON THE 18TH. LAST UPDATED JUL 12TH WE'RE BACK FROM OUR BIGGEST TOUR EVER AND IT WAS AN ACTION PACKED ORDEAL. THE LAST WEEK WAS MOSTLY WARPED TOUR DATES. IT WAS A LOT OF FUN BUT VERY TIRING. HAVING TO BE AT THE SHOW ALL DAY IN THE SUN EVERYDAY AND THEN DRIVE TO THE NEXT TOWN THROUGH THE NIGHT TO MAKE IT TO THE NEXT ONE IN THE MORNING. I THINK WE ALL LIKE REGULAR TOURING BETTER BUT IT WAS A GREAT EXPERIENCE. THERE WAS A LOT OF BANDS A LOT OF PEOPLE AND A LOT OF GUYS DRESSED IN THEIR SISTER'S PANTS WITH MASCARA AND EYELINER ON. I GUESS THAT IS THE NEW FAD NOW, BUT YOU CAN COUNT ME OUT OF THAT ONE. ALSO THERE ARE A LOT OF KIDS WHO REFUSE TO WHERE ANY COLOR BUT BLACK AND ALWAYS WEAR PANTS. IT'S SUMMER!!!! WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL YOURSELF? ANYWAY NOW I'M JUST RAMBLING. THE SOUTH WAS THE BEST PART OF THE TOUR I THINK. MOST OF THE SHOWS WERE AT LEAST A LOT OF FUN. I'M SURPRISED AT HOW MANY PEOPLE KNEW US ALREADY IN STATES WE HAD NEVER BEEN TOO. ORLANDO AND DALLAS WE'RE PROBABLY THE COOLEST 'CAUSE WE HAD LIKE 50 PEOPLE SINGING ALONG IN PLACES WE'D NEVER BEEN. APPARENTLY THE BUMFIGHTS VIDEOS ARE OUR CLAIM TO FAME NOW. ALMOST EVERY KID ON TOUR SAID "I HEARD YOU GUYS ON BUMFIGHTS MAN". THAT VIDEO IS REALLY GETTING OUT THERE. THEY ARE WORKING ON THE THIRD ONE NOW TOO. WE WANT TO THANK OUR SPONSORS SULLEN CLOTHING, CHIPOTLE, NEEDMERCH, AND BUMFIGHTS FOR HELPING ON THE TOUR. ALSO THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO PUT US UP, HELPED GET US A SHOW, BOUGHT US DINNER, BOUGHT US BEER, LET US TAKE A SHOWER, FIXED OUR VAN, GAVE US DIRECTIONS, LET US USE THERE INTERNET. ETC. ETC. AND SORRY TO ALL THE PEOPLE WE MADE FUN OF ON TOUR LIKE THE PEOPLE WITH SOUTHERN ACCENTS, (DING DANG I RECKON YA'LL) THE KIDS IN THEIR SISTER'S PANTS, ALL EMO BANDS (STOP CRYING), AND PRETTY MUCH EVERYONE ELSE WE MET. SORRY WE GET BORED AND MAKING FUN OF PEOPLE MAKES US FEEL BETTER ABOUT OUR SELVES. THANKS!!! LOVE HAPPYCAMPERS (SEE YA NEXT TOUR)
LAST UPDATED JUN 25TH WHAT'S WITH THE DAMN RAIN? WE'VE BEEN ON TOUR FOR ABOUT 3 WEEKS NOW AND IT HAS RAINED EVERYDAY EXCEPT ONE. WE ARE IN DALLAS NOW AT JAY'S COUSINS HOUSE BECAUSE THE WARPED TOUR FOR HOUSTON GOT CANCELLED BECAUSE OF RAIN. ANYWAY THE EAST COAST KIND OF SUCKS. AT LEAST THE NORTH PART ANYWAY. OUR TOUR REALLY STARTED TO TAKE OFF WHEN WE GOT FURTHER SOUTH. WE HAD GOOD SHOWS IN VIRGINIA, NORTH CAROLINA, GEORGIA AND FLORIDA. UNFORTUNATELY YOU GUYS WON'T GET TO SEE IT BECAUSE MY VIDEO CAMERA BROKE SO WERE NOT VIDEO TAPING ANYMORE. WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE RECORDING EVERYTHING FOR OUR UPCOMING DVD BUT NOW IT LOOKS LIKE WE ARE GOING TO MISS OUT ON WARPED TOUR FOOTAGE TOO. OH WELL WE DID GET SOME GOOD FOOTAGE FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE TOUR. LET'S SEE WHAT ELSE CAN I TELL YA. OUR VAN HAD TO GET NEW BRAKES IN NEW JERSEY SO WE DIDN'T GET TO SEE THE STATUE OF LIBERTY. BUT WE DID SEE THE WHITE HOUSE AND EVEN TOOK A PEE ON THE FRONT LAWN. IT WAS ALL A LOT DIRTIER THAN I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE. WE HAD SOME GOOD SHOWS WITH RIDDLIN KID'S IN FLORIDA AND HAD FUN THERE. IT EVEN STOPPED RAINING LONG ENOUGH FOR US TO GO TO THE BEACH OUT THERE FOR A BIT. ANYWAY IM TIRED SO I'LL TELL YOU MORE LATER. SEE YA ON WARPED TOUR. LAST UPDATED JUN 12TH THIS ONE COMES TO YOU FROM THE CAMPA-VAN ON ROUTE TO WASHINGTON D.C. SO FAR THE TOUR HAS BEEN FUN. A LOT OF DRIVING AND CRAPPY SHOWS IN THE GREAT LAKES AREA OF THE COUNTRY, BUT FUN NONE THE LESS. HOPEFULLY THE EAST COAST WILL BE MORE FRIENDLY TO THE CAMPA'S AND THERE WILL BE MORE THAN 20 PEOPLE AT A SHOW. GENE GOT HIS LIP PIERCED AND JAY GOT HIS NETHER REGIONS PIERCED WHILE WE WERE AT A PARTY IN GRAND RAPIDS. WE'RE ON OUR WAY TO HAVE LUNCH WITH GEORGE DUBYA AT THE WHITE HOUSE (IF THE SECRET SERVICE LETS US IN) SO I'LL HAVE TO KEEP IT SHORT. I'LL CHECK BACK IN A FEW WEEKS. THANKS TO SULLEN CLOTHING OUR NEW CLOTHING SPONSOR FOR HOOKING US UP WITH CLOTHES TO WEAR WHILE WE ARE ON TOUR. WE HAVE TO CHANGE ABOUT 3 TIMES A DAY 'CAUSE IT'S SO DAMN HUMID OUT HERE.

E.P. I'VE DECIDED TO SHOW YOU THE ARTWORK WE DIDN'T USE. WE HAD IT DOWN TO
TWO DESIGNS AND THIS ONE GOT THE AXE. MAINLY CAUSE NO ONE NEW WHAT THE
HELL IT WAS. I GUESS IT WAS A LITTLE TOO OLD SCHOOL FOR SOME. WE DECIDED TO
GO WITH THE ARTWORK WE THOUGHT MORE PEOPLE COULD RELATE TO. PLUS A FEW
PEOPLE THOUGHT THE RAINBOW THING WAS A LITTLE TOO GAY. NOT THAT WE HAVE
ANYTHING AGAINST GAY MARRIAGE OR ANY FORM OF GAYNESS OF ANY GAY SORT.
