Sunday at the Bit

Okay, so the upcoming show was sent out on our mailing list and on the ole' myspace... what else? Oh, yeah: there's a show tomorrow and there's no show post. Let's fix that.

May 24
ubik. @ The Bit Saloon
w/ Sod Hauler,
& Sindios
8:00 - $5 - 21+

Fixed.

We're pretty excited about this one: it's a Sunday, but everyone has Monday off (yay!), and we get to play with Sindios and Sod Hauler... who are awesome.

as promised

toldya there'd be more...

so we have locked down an opening slot for Nine Worlds' visit to seattle come March 14th, at The Funhouse, which is plenty exciting for plenty of reasons. First off, we dig Nine Worlds. Second, an opening slot means we're breaking with our Funhouse tradition of going on at around 12:30/12:45. Third, our friends in Slave Traitor are also on the bill (we've been trying to set up a show with those guys). Add Hellgrammite to the mix and this is looking like a really excellent show.

Block, blocked

Well, that was a healthy block of shows, eh? Three in less than a week... I think we need a little break.

Much love and thanks to everyone who came out and backed us: everyone in Portland who hadn't seen us before, all of our friends down south who took care of us, all of the Seattle people who traveled south to show support... and tons of love to the die-hards who made it out on Wednesday (seriously-- you guys are core. Nobody goes out on Wednesdays)

And there's more to come. We'll have more set up soon, and we are working on getting some studio time, because it's about time for us to be recording again.

If you need to be in the loop, our mailing list signup is right here:

Home in warm beds until we rock wednesday

Portland was fantastic-- much thanks to our awesome showmates and all of the J people that took care of us while we were down there (seriously: everyone's name starts with a J. They booked us, fed us, drank with us, gave us a place to sleep... Js one and all). We had a great time: it was our first Portland trip, and we're looking forward to going back.

And happy birthday Eric.

So now we have time to get some rest tomorrow, let the ubik.bassists wash their white shirts on Monday, head to Belltown on Tuesday (ubik. drinks in Belltown every tuesday night, at the Lava Lounge and/or Shortys... and you are all invited), and then go up to Capitol Hill on Wednesday night to play The Comet. We haven't played Seattle in a while, so you ought to come on down.

February 4th
ubik. at Comet Tavern
w/ One Undone
& Breviamor (OR)
8:00 - 21+ - $5

Hello Portland!

While overplaying has presented a few drawbacks and led to us playing fewer shows, fewer shows have led to BIG GAPS in posts... which is its own problem. We are making the most of our time: ubik. now has patches, we're finalizing our T-shirt design (shirts soon, folks), and we're locking down our first ever cover song. So: time well spent.

But not to detract from the present: we're playing Portland this weekend, and however many Portland people we have really ought to attend, as we don't get down there very often. Or, ever. Seriously, this is our first trip.

So this is a repost of our show post... now with fliers.

Taking a weekend in Portland

Well, taking the zombies downtown for New Years Eve was a lot of fun-- lots of love to everyone who turned pasty and bleeding and took up the moaning hoard of a marching band through Seattle. Definitely one of our better celebrations.

next up, we're heading south. We're booked in Portland for Friday the 30th and Saturday the 31st (you know, making the most of our travel time). This is our first Portland trip, so any support our southern people can send our way would be awesome.

Here are the listings:

what's this white stuff? why does the traffic suck?

Super ultra-thanks for everyone who came out and partied on Friday... most of the town was pretty well snowed in, and the ubik.van has a new set of chains (never knew we needed chains until this show), but the whole thing was fun, even if Requin and Slave Traitor didn't make it. The Ever Changing Sky were excellent as always, and Jeremy from John Wayne Autopsy filled in last minute (thanks, Jeremy!) after all the cancellations.

... and, with any luck, we'll catch up with Slave Traitor and Requin a show or two down the line.
