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

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.
