Late Sunday Night

We really have to send the love out to everyone who stayed for the show last night-- we went on pretty late, and last call actually went out while we were playing. Rough timing for the day when most people are recovering from their weekend and getting some sleep for Monday morning... so for the late partiers and late late supporters-- you guys rule!

Come hang with ubik. tomorrow

tons of fun to be had with this one tomorrow. The poster has all the relevant data, but here's the block of text again, just for kicks:

Yay-- Tyler uploaded some fun stuff on our MySpace. This video looks and sounds good enough to replace the little flash player on the songs page.

the voice is an instrument

most vocalists tend to play it pretty effects-free: the sound man might put a little reverb or chorus on the singer, but for the most part, it's pretty dry. As far as I know, there are two vocalists in town who really use effects and processing: one is ubik's own Michelle, the other is Mike from Hunab Ku. ubik's playing with Hunab Ku for the first time this sunday, making it the most vocally processed show you're likely to see any time soon.

Standard show-post format, anyone?

We'll see you there... ubik knows you don't have plans for sunday night

helluva party

the octagon was rockin' last saturday... if you missed it, you missed one hell of a party. we played a wild set, in a line-up with KGB Suspect, Rad Touch, and Red Rapture-- the place was absolutely packed (any more people and you wouldn't be able to move in that house) and the stores were completely depleted when the doors closed and they started throwing everyone out.

A full on rager, all around, and the fantastic attendees did their part to Save The Octagon. The house is still alive, and will be around for many parties to come.

Save the Octagon

So, yes-- you are all invited to the Save the Octagon house show this saturday. ubik's playing with Rad Touch, Red Rapture, and KGB Suspect. The Octagon's got the booze-- all you need to do is bring the money. It's a benefit show, remember: all proceeds go to keeping The Octagon alive and functioning for future shows, and as a practice space for myriad local bands (including ourselves).

...at The Octagon-- let us know if you need to know where it is.

preserving the Rock

Wow-- thanks to everyone that came out to the Rendezvous on Saturday... tons and tons of people in that place. It's got to be the weirdest lineup we've ever played (three cheers for diversity), and Leeni took off before we could grab one of her CDs, but... dig this...

we taped the show!

ubik hasn't had any new recordings in ages, and we've finally got some more audio on tap, including a nice live version of Seven Feet Under, one of our most popular songs. New stuff is up at our songs page as well as uploaded on our MySpace, because... well... everyone looks on MySpace when they're looking for you...

but that's just the appetizer-- ubik's in the studio this week, hoping to lock down some recordings that aren't derived from mic's at the back of one of our shows. We're looking to record as much as we can in the time we've got, so we'll have more to upload soon. And then there will be CDs at shows. Pretty keen, eh?

Saturday Night! Make the "wooo" noise!

Okay, kids-- it's party time. Return of the Living Dead style. (not really the part with the zombies, but the other stuff. Naked dancing and stereos in the cemetery type thing). I know we've fed you this block of text before, but here it is:

Saturday, January 5th
ubik. @ The Rendezvous
w/ Leeni
and Desmond
$5 at the Door
10:00 PM

That is obviously the best thing that ever happened, which is why you need to make the "wooo" noise and head out to the Rendezvous. We've got new sounds, new visuals, maybe an awesome For Dummies book, and we've washed our clothes (so you needn't stand in the back).

See you there...
