so we started out in 2003 just fucking around and acting like we could play instruments eventually time came when we had to play in front of people and we REALLY had to learn how to play our instruments, so we did we played some garages, partys, (like patfest good times) and venues (creepy crawl, ciceros, midwest music pit, inferno room...) and all around the st. louis area (Downtown STL, Wentzville, Ofallin, Bellville, University city...) and in general had a good time opeing for and playing with Swift Kixx, Monskasities, Psycho Dad, Rufus McCnasty, Kid Kadaver, The Red Light Runners, Index, ANAF, Born to die, The Pinstripes (Ohio), I Voted for Kodos (Wisconsin), The Ceiling Tiles (OKlahoma), That one band from Michigan who loaned us gear and drummer filled in for us sorry i forgot the name, No Reason Given (Indiana)and well that is about all i can remember but there are more thanks to the pinstripes who we had a lot of fun playing with and they played Hey Ska (suicide machines) with us which was quite awesome...

we were lazy and always talked about getting merch and shit and actually recording shit but we are just lazy bastards and now it is 2006 and it looks like our last show maybe on July 9th 2006 at the Creepy Crawl with our good friends from Cincinatti: The Pinstripes...so it looks like we really will go down in flames but abast on the horizon we see Oskaloosa somehow contining (maybe with a new name instead of this shitty one) somehow without jayson andy and bren who will all be greatly missed and always loved...peace bitches

i forgot we prolly have a few fans i should shout out to and thank, first off thanks if you ever watched us play, said you liked us, lied to us and said you liked us, moved during our set, sang along, and girls for flirting with matt, thank you swift kixx cause you seriously had a big influence on us along with big bands like Big D, and last but certainly not least thank you Evan, Jason, Robyn and Dave Foley from Bellville (just that crowd in general is cool) we love you guys and it was fun playing with you and hanging out with you and we always knew we could count on you guys to come to our shows, thanks for making that awesome oskaloosa shirt too it was cool to see it and we hope we continue seeing you around...
with love,
Oskaloosa
