May 19th Show

Well, we're about a month out from our show at the Jules Maes Saloon, playing with The Keeper and Nemesis Theory. It's $5 at the door, the show's at 9:00, and we're the first band, so get there early. Early enough to have a few drinks... scientific research has proven: we sound better when you are hammered.

Ubik is back in a practice space, down at Seattle Rehearsal, sharing a room with The If/Then Statement (thanks guys) down in the SoDo area, and now practicing full time with Michelle as a member of the band, making her part of the "we" that goes into these updates. (Just to clear that up)

The songs we had uploaded, both here and to our MySpace account, were mostly put up as part of our fishing for singers. Now that the search is completely out of the way, rough sounding, instrumental cuts of our music don't seem to serve much purpose, and they've been taken out back and shot. We're hoping to get a good taping of the upcoming show, so we can have more current versions of our songs on offer.

On the Horizon

Ubik has an upcoming show in May... there's a little distance there, but we're keeping you all informed. Saturday, May 19th, we will be playing at the Jules Maes Saloon in Georgetown. We'll be playing again with The Keeper, who have done us the awesome courtesy of booking us into their gig.

You have plenty of advance warning, so all the out-of-towners can book Seattle-bound flights.

Also worth mentioning: we still have not landed a practice space. I have faith that we will turn up at our next gig well-rehearsed, but we are searching hard now to find a place so that we... um... we'll turn up at that gig well rehearsed. If you know of any places, let us know.

Switching Station

and then the band goes off the rails...

After a very successful outing with The Keeper at The Roanoke, Ubik has bounced out of our practice space and can't continue until we can all be in the same room as our amps, drums, and effects. We've written our fair share of songs that must be practiced regularly, or, at our next show, we will fall apart like Ikea furniture.

So... the hunt is on. Does anyone know of an affordable practice space?

As always, we are ubik@gmail.com
