forward...

so, the Josephine's kind of an odd venue, eh? Last night's show turned out to be a lot of fun (and fairly foggy), but we're moving forward. ubik.s got a tour coming up in September, where we will bomb down I-5 as fast as the big blue van will carry us, crashing into venues as we go. We're also finishing up a recording of Cyclocosmia, which is going to be released on a 10" vinyl spit with The Ever Changing Sky... because that band and that medium both rule.

(though it will probably be streamed as an mp3 once we're done, too, so all the vinyl-haters will get to hear it. It'll be on the new album, too, when we get a new album out)

That, and Michelle's currently booking Subcultural Awakening benefit shows, which also happen at the Josephine, on the first Saturday of every month. These shows are highlighting the Seattle underground... the kinds of bands that don't get massive hype in the normal channels, mostly because they don't sound like everything else. The Subcultural Awakening shows are benefits-- the bands play for free-- and the proceeds are split between paying for the venue and putting out a Subcultural Awakening comp, which will be released in the fall. ubik.s going to be on there, too: we're playing the last show of the season, August 1st.

Before then, we've got a show coming up on Sunday, playing the Bit Saloon on May 24th with some excellent, excellent bands-- Sindios and Sod Hauler. But that's a few weeks off, and will get a proper show post in future.
