Back in Seattle

Ha! Made it!

ubik.s taken our first run down the west coast, and the band members, Joe (who did merch for us the entire time), and Bruno (the 1977 Dodge van, pulling a trailer full of gear) all made it there and back again in one piece. We'll go farther and longer next time (the first run made sure that we could do this without the van bursting into flames), but so far, so good.

Back in Seattle, ubik.s taking a little break: something we've never done before. We've put off playing shows to write and record, but the band has never actually had time off: it's been twice a week (plus shows) for a few years now. We'll be back out in the world in November.

Thanks to everyone who came out to all of our shows on the road: we had some excellent shows while we were out, played some fun places, and saw some great bands. Though things can turn out less than stellar, and a band can find itself playing a sports bar in Redding, CA, the grand whole of the tour was a great success, and we'll keep everyone posted about when we're heading out again.

We've got to throw some extra thanks to all of the kind, generous, and selfless people that really helped us along-- people who gave us space crash or couchsurf, fed us, bought us beer, and even made us breakfast, and all of the bands who waived their cut of the night's money to ubik. to keep gas in the van... these are people that really improve our view of the world. They make everything better.

Thanks again to everyone who helped us out, everyone who came to the shows, and finally to Joe: Joe came along with us, lived in a van for two weeks, and manned our merch table for no reward other than to just go out on tour with us (Joe was also a balancing presence in the mix, and probably contributed to us all surviving).

You'll be hearing from us soon, but right now, ubik.s on break.
