MOVIE REVIEW ‘No Escape’ $3²³1R(VFDSH´LV about a Texas family that arrives in an unnamed Asian country only to immediately be swept up in a horribly violent coup that sends them scampering for survival through foreign, unfamiliar streets strewn with bodies and blood. Beside the murderous chants of a mob or the bland courtesies of a hotel clerk, the natives have no dialogue. Instead, they are merely the vague backdrop to the harrowing plight of a white American family. The absence of literally any HQJDJHPHQWZLWKWKHFRQÀLFW at hand or its native tragedies, ³1R(VFDSH´VDFUL¿FHVLWV legitimacy. It’s a shame, too, EHFDXVHWKH¿OPPDNLQJDQG action are often impressive. R, 102 minutes, ۻۻۼۼ East Oregonian Page 3C Q&A with Aaron ‘Dog Bite’ Harris T his past July, Ruckus in the Boonies, the Heppner outlaw country music festival, celebrated its second year. It was an impressive array of talent from across the country that descended on the town — bands with QDPHVOLNH³-RKQQ\3DEVWDQG7KH7DOO%R\V´ DQG³)LOWK\6WLOO´ZKRSOD\HGDGH¿DQWEUDQGRI country that was rooted in a nihilistic punk rock sensibility. Heppner native Aaron “Dog Bite” Harris was the man responsible for producing and coordinating the event. A singer-songwriter himself, Dog Bite plays a brand of country music that perfectly encapsulates the vibe of his festival. He performs at the 3DFNDUG7DYHUQLQ3HQGOHWRQRQ Saturday with Misty Mouth and Drew Langton. I interviewed Dog Bite via a J.D. phone call on Sunday following Kindle the WWE’s SummerSlam Comment (Harris confesses to being a big pro wrestling fan). In addition to talking wrestling we discussed Ruckus In The Boonies, touring the country as a merch man for fellow outlaw country singer Bob Wayne, and his own upstart record label “Hair Of The Dog.” Was that under your own name or Dog Bite? That was way before the Dog Bite thing came along. I don’t think any of the music for Dog Bite Harris has been written then. We played a bunch of covers and old songs I had written that I don’t remember how to play anymore. How did you get to be called Dog Bite? I was on tour with a guy named Bob Wayne. That’s how I got my start. I was just selling merchandise for him. We were down in Nashville at this named Andy Gibson’s house. He’s a record producer down there and he’s also a big part of Hank Williams III’s band. He’s the slide player for that. He a talented guy. Long story short his dog bit me and they started calling me “Dog Bite.” I wasn’t Photo contributed by Aaron Harris particularly fond of it but you know sometimes when a nickname hits you it doesn’t go away so I just rolled with it. How did you end up becoming Bob Wayne’s merch man? I met him at a show. I went to see Hank III in Eugene at the Wow Hall. I had just turned 21. He played this song I really related to called “Blood to Dust” and we started chatting. I moved up to Seattle a few months later. Thats where he’s from so he’s playing a lot of local shows. He’s actually from Richland but at the time he was in Seattle. One thing lead to another and I started selling merch for him and he took me on the road for the better part of a year. What did you do after that? That’s when I started doing the “Dog Bite” thing. I already had a few songs written and I decided at that point in time that I really liked touring and I honestly didn’t have a whole lot more going on in life so I just got a van and found odd jobs back in Eastern Oregon to keep me by when I wasn’t touring. What have you released on your record label Hair Of The Dog so far? We did the Ruckus In The Boonies FRPSLODWLRQ:HGLGDQ(3IRU$QJLHDQGWKH&DU Wrecks and we are about to put something out with a guy from Mississippi named Ridge Runner Randy. We’ve got the Stoned Evergreen Travelers and a new guy named Danny Trashville. We KDYHDIHZLURQVLQWKH¿UH,W¶VNLQGRIDEXLOGLQJ process right now but we’re about to have a lot come out here in the next few months. A lot of those bands had a hard, punk rock edge to them. To see the entire community of Heppner embracing that, that was really cool. Yeah, young and old. Another cool thing that I absolutely love was that we have a lot of people travel in from all over America to see this. The town is so accepting of all those people coming in; people with mohawks and weird piercings. For a town from Eastern Oregon that doesn’t really see that stuff they’re really embracing and accepting of that type of people. It’s really FRROWKH\OHWPHGRWKLVZLWKRXWWKURZLQJD¿W ... You get a few people that complain about it but overall the city hall supports it, the mayor supports it. Growing up in this town, it wasn’t easy for a guy like me because I was kind of different. My friends growing up were probably the worst kids you could possibly be associated with. I was never a bad kid but I got that reputation of who I hung out with. It’s cool because all of that has changed as I’ve gotten older. I’ve got a lot of respect from the older people. It’s pretty neat to be accepted after feeling like an outsider, like I didn’t belong.
