July is almost gone, so ubik.s hiatus is pretty much done-- we're gearing up for our August shows, and then for our tour down the west coast in September.First thing's first: ubik.s playing a Subcultural Awakening benefit show on Saturday, August 1st. These have been held on the first saturday of every month throughout the summer, and we're playing the last of the lot (summer, we hardly knew ya)... so it's us, The Abadox, Fortress Of Victory, and Barefoot Barnacle. These shows always go down at The Josephine, which is an all ages, DIY venue, and when the shows are done, Subcultural will be releasing a compilation CD of all the participating bands.
Then, on the 14th, we're playing another DIY show The FBK House down in Georgetown, this time with Requin (and most likely a third band... we're working on that). FBK shows start late-- music is at 11:00-- but this one's a house party and there's no charge at the door.
At the end of the month, we're playing with Jucifer at El Corazon... and that's a pretty big deal for us: it's a Friday night at a bigger club with a touring band (we don't get to do that much). Sod Hauler and Plaster are on this bill with us (along with one other band, as yet unnamed), and because it's a bigger show, there are tickets on sale at Ticketswest.
Finally, the tour is getting booked, so we're setting up to hit the road and visit everyone south of Seattle (there's people down there, right?) We've got a show schedule that will keep current as we add more dates:
