big doings in the subculture

first off, tomorrow is the official release of the Subcultural Awakening compilation, which features a bunch of excellent Seattle bands in a wide variety of genres (including ubik. Happy to be a part). The releasing of the comp has been riddled with obstacles and fraught with danger... but it's finally swinging over the last lava pit, jumping the last crocodile, and arriving tomorrow.

so we've got that going for us.

ubik. is also playing Subcultural Awakening's No Guitar Fest, spanning february 6th and 7th at the Josephine. We're playing on saturday, the 6th... and there'll most likely be an official show post very soon, but for now, it dovetails nicely with the comp release.

Monkey Pub show on Saturday

Good news, party people-- even though The Monkey Pub doesn't do live music any more, they're making an exeption for us. ubik. has always loved the Monkey, our home away from home, and those shows are always tons of fun. We're going on with Slave Traitor and Evangelist, and the whole event is going to be a riot: our Monkey Pub track record is pretty fantastic (any public vomiting incidents are easily overshadowed by panda and bunny suits).

ubik. at The Monkey Pub
w/ Slave Traitor
& Evangelist
9:00 - $3 - 21+

Not only is this one of the cheapest shows you can see, it's also a rare breed-- Monkey shows are hard to come by, and they've always been some of our favorites.
