After a long slumber the uVu beast has arisen again! We reunited with our former bass player Steven Holmes and headlined a Seattle Peace Concert yesterday. We sure enjoyed the event and it appeared that the crowds did too :) Many thanks to Don Glenn who has been producing this summer concert series for 30 years now! And thanks as always to our friends and supporters who make it worth all the effort! 7/26/09
We had a blast playing at Aquafest 2009 yesterday! The weather was beautiful, and the whole festival was a lot of fun. Thanks to everyone that came out and helped support the bands! 7/11/09
We played a birthday party yesterday where we included the Rolling Stones song "Midnight Rambler" on our set list for the first time. 6/28/09
We were honored to play at the Barney Jubilee yesterday - a gathering in memory of our recently departed friend Dan Perrins. It was great to be able to spend time once again with his family and friends. Dan touched the hearts of everyone in his life, and he will live on in our hearts forever! We played the original "In The Air" for the first time since 2004. "He's Gone" and "One Way Out" made their first appearances on our setlist. 6/22/09
We had great time playing at the Seattle Peace Concert yesterday - our first show featuring Ron "Lefty" Fargo on bass!

We received the devastating news today that our dear friend Dan Perrins (aka Barney Walstib, Deadhead Dan, Grateful Dan) passed away in his sleep early this morning. This was so sudden and completely unexpected, it's been very hard to accept. Dan was one of the most selfless, loving, caring people on the planet. We only had the pleasure of knowing him a couple of years, but he's one of those people you feel like you've known your whole life. He was so accepting of everybody and was so thoughtful, always putting others before himself. He had an abundance of positive energy, and touched so many people's lives through his good vibes and his love of great music. We had the honor of playing at Dan & Deb's wedding celebration last April, and it was and always will be a major highlight of our band's memories. It was such a blessing to be a part of that joyous occasion in their lives. We felt so much warmth and love from everyone in attendance. Our hearts go out to Deborah, and to all of her and Dan's friends and family members. He may be gone, but he will *never* be forgotten. Fare you well, fare you well, we love you more than words can tell...

Last night has got to be the most enjoyable show in our career so far! We had the honor and privilege of being a part of Dan & Deb's wedding celebration, playing for them and all of their wonderful friends. People volunteered a lot of time and energy to create a great party environment. The hall was decked out floor to ceiling with dazzling tie-dye and decorations, including special lighting, a great slide show that ran continuously, and even a big mirror ball! The festivities started @ 4:20 with everybody holding hands standing in a giant circle while a blessing was performed by Ray Mullen, Drum Bearer of the Snoqualmie Tribe, which established a wonderful spiritual connection between all of us! A huge load of thanks to everyone who attended this very special event, and extra thanks go out to Dan & Deb, Rusty, Sam, Skot, The Commander Of The Universe, and all the diehards that stayed and danced until the very end! :) We were also happy to have debuted a big crop of tunes: Guava Jelly, The Golden Road (To Unlimited Devotion), Man Smart Woman Smarter, When I Paint My Masterpiece, Don't Ease Me In, Lady With A Fan (-> Terrapin Station), Playing In The Band, Hell In A Bucket, Viola Lee Blues, and Standing On The Moon. We captured most of it on video, and Sam was capturing high quality audio, so we'll be editing those together and posting new stuff to our live audio & video area soon! (And happy 4-20! ;) 2/10/08
We had a blast playing at Waldos last weekend! Frank Farmer did a terrific job on sound and lights. A big thanks to everyone that came to see us! It was great seeing folks from other local bands like 56 Font and About Face. We really appreciate everyone's support. We especially enjoyed the super enthusiastic crowd on Saturday! :-) We captured the Saturday show on video and Frank gave us an audio feed from the mixing board, so watch for some great new content coming soon to the live audio & video area! We played The Blood and Aeroplane for the first time in several years. From The Beginning, Help!, and an new original called No More Taxes all made their debuts on our set list. 12/7/07
We were deeply saddened to learn today that our former lead guitarist Richard Schneider passed away on Monday. He was a great energy in the band and a bright light in our lives for the all-too-brief time we knew him. We first met in September '04 when he came to try out as a bassist. We liked his bass playing, but later on in the audition he switched over to guitar and there was an instant chemistry between all of us. We loved his playing so much that we became a 5-piece, bringing him on board as our lead guitarist :-) We are grateful that during his time with us we recorded two albums, the 2005 Promotional Sampler and Shadow Of The Sun, forever capturing much of his musical grace and skill. We also played a lot of live shows together throughout 2005, which were some of the most fun we've ever played, and thankfully most were recorded on video. We wish he had been with us so much longer, but alas in late '05 he inherited land in Missouri and decided to move there to retire. We certainly thought we'd see him again someday, or at least collaborate on some musical projects online. It is hard to accept the fact that we will never get to hang out with him again, or hear his voice or his infectious laugh, or have fun and intense discussions about philosophy and politics, or make beautiful music together. We were so blessed to have crossed paths with him. We each had positive impacts on each others lives in so many ways, it's hard to fully express in words. He will be deeply missed and we offer our condolences to all of his friends and surviving family members.

Yesterday could quite possibly have been our most fun show yet! We had the honor and privilege of being a wedding present from Mark to his fiancé Deborah, who is a huge Grateful Dead fan. We played for her and a bunch of her Dead-Head friends from San Francisco and New York, in the beautiful mountainous setting of Whistler Village in BC, Canada. It marked our first international gig, and the first time the ritzy Pan Pacific Whistler Village Centre had ever had a band play in their lounge!

Dire Wolf, Samson And Delilah, New Speedway Boogie, Shakedown Street, and Terrapin Station made their first appearances in our setlist! 8/12/07

The tough decision was made to part ways with Conor Apperson as we were in need of a drummer from which we could demand more time. We really liked playing with Conor, and appreciate everything he contributed during his six month stay. We wish him well in all his future endeavors! 2/25/07
It was a lot of fun playing at Caffe Bella last night! Thanks so much to all of folks that stuck around after the performance by Thomas Starks to check us out!

Richard Dadufalza, our drummer of nearly two years, has left the band so that he can devote more time to his family.

We wish he and his family all the best. 5/28/06
It was a great pleasure and an honor play at the first annual Josh Duckworth Memorial Bash, and to have been a part of such a wonderful tribe of people and talented artists gathered together to celebrate the life of another! We really appreciate all that hard work and effort Bill and Anita and everybody else went through to put all of it together. Thanks to all of the guys in the individual bands for being so patient, professional, and helping out as well, even if we were running late and having technical problems, but hey it wouldn’t be a show without those things right? :-) 5/21/06
We are very excited to announce that our new album "Shadow Of The Sun" is now available! We worked very hard on this over the last six months, and we think it's our best release yet! Just click on music to check it out! 5/20/06
Today marks another big change in the musical journey of the band. Richard Schneider, who has been our lead guitar player for over 1.5 years, is moving to Missouri. We've really enjoyed having him in the band, and are glad that we were able to record two albums with him as well as have him with us for all the shows we played in the Summer of '05. We can't thank him enough for his contribution to the band, and we are really going to miss him. The good news is that he will have broadband Internet access at his new home in MO, and we plan to collaborate with him online, perhaps on our Ambient/Experimental Electronic side-project InfraRed Uforia. But as the saying goes, "When a door shuts, a window opens". In this case, the window is our new lead guitar player Simon Conner! He has actually been with us now since December of '05, practicing with us and getting ready to take over upon Richard's departure. He's a great player, and we are excited to have him on board. It will be fun to hear how our music will evolve going forward, incorporating his unique styles into the mix. We are looking forward to playing out with him this year, and having him involved in our next recording projects. Welcome aboard, Simon! 11/27/05
We are still in the midst of recording our new album, but we have a new tune for you to check out in the meantime! This was recorded live in our studio on October 1st.

You can check out the new song called Divine Spark right here! 10/30/05

We're excited to announce that we have started recording a new album!

We had a great time playing for Kent Becker and Dana Dewberry's 4th Anniversary Commitment Ceremony today. It was 90+ degrees out, but thankfully we had shade, and our gracious hosts kept us well supplied with beverages. The turnout was lower than expected, but that just meant more food and drink to go around :-) It was about the most organized event we've ever seen - Kent even built a custom stage for us! We've posted new pictures here, and there will be more to come. Two more songs made their first appearance in our setlist: Somebody To Love and Brown Eyed Girl. Thanks to Chris Sleight of Megasound Studio for referring us to Kent, and for a great job running sound. And thanks Jon Sleight of Author Unknown for doing a fantastic job filling in on bass! 7/30/05

Thanks to Tara Decrow from WSF for inviting us play, and for being the most organized event organizer we have ever dealt with :-) Thanks to all the folks who signed up on our mailing list!

Happy New Year everybody! 2004 year brings big changes for uVu. Our long time companions Marc Montagnino and Todd VanSelus are each moving on to pursue their own musical directions. We have all become good friends, but alas we have different goals in music, and are allowing each other the freedom to pursue those individual goals. Marc is currently active in two other bands, so you can catch him almost every weekend! Check out Marc's brand new hard rock cover band, Max Axle! Todd also has no shortage of active bands and musical projects, so be sure and keep up with his activities! Check out Ian McFeron and the Band for some groovy folk rock, and California Highway Patrol for a big dose of funk! Todd also maintains a very amusing personal website here. We cherish the time we have had playing with each of them, and wish them all the best in their musical journeys. It's quite likely we will still get together to jam, record, or play out again in the future :-) We are currently auditioning musicians, and looking to expand the lineup with a percussionist and a second guitarist. So keep your eye out for developments, and we'll be gigging again before too long! 11/23/03

We had a great time playing at the Blue Moon Tavern on Saturday. Thanks to all of our friends for turning out, and to the crowd that received us so warmly. Despite getting a late start, and having to stop when the men's bathroom flooded the stage, fun was had by all :-) 1/14/03

We are excited to welcome Todd VanSelus as the newest member of uVu, filling the bass player position. His style could be just the thing to take the music to new uforic heights! We thank Scott for all of his hard work over the past two months, and appreciate the great bass skills he brought to us over that time. We wish him success and happiness in his future musical journeys. 8/10/02
We had a great time playing at Tom's Variety Show last night. Our thanks go out to Woody Anderson for recommending us, to Tom Warren for having us, and to Roy for doing such a great job running sound! Roy also video taped all of the bands, so you may be able to see some of our performance on a "Best of" episode of Woody's Northwest Music Scene cable TV show (on SCAN - channel 29/77) in September/October. 7/31/02
We are excited to announce the release of "waters under the bridge". This album contains the remaining studio recordings featuring Jim Kragh on bass. It also includes some live material, as well as previously unreleased outtakes from the "escape velocity" sessions. 7/24/02

Our quest for a new bass player is over! We are happy to announce that we have asked the tremendously skilled Scott Syltebo to be the newest member of uVu. His agile playing will take the music to a whole new level! 5/25/02
We're going to be on cable TV! The show is called Northwest Music Scene and it airs Sunday, June 9th @ 8:30 PM on the Seattle Community Access Network (SCAN) - channel 29 or 77 in most areas. It will feature 30 minutes of us performing live in the SCAN studio, with by lots of psychedelic video effects :-) We do a couple of our old standbys, one new song (long!) and a Chili Peppers tune. We've added a bunch of video captures from the show to our pictures area. Sadly, it will be the only chance you'll ever have to see us playing with bassist Stephen Brueggerhoff. He's been with us since the first of the year, but has been lured back to his home state of Texas by a lucrative job offer. We really enjoyed the time we had together with him. We recorded a lot of live stuff together, so watch for a few live tracks to be released here in our "have a listen" area soon! Once again, we quest for a bass player as we continue to work on studio projects. 1/2/02
Happy New Year everybody! It is our pleasure to announce that we are bringing in the new year with a new bass player! After auditioning many fine musicians over the last few months, we found Stephen Brueggerhoff, a great guy who should prove to be a tasty addition to the group. After getting up to speed again, the band looks forward to once more turning their attention to gigging and recording. Keep your eye on this site for more info! 9/24/01
Why did we drop off the radar for so long? Well, the main reason is that we've been spending a lot of time putting together a recording studio, and finding the perfect house to accommodate it. We're happy to say that we found a great house in Sammamish last year, the studio is finally up and running, and we have been getting some new tracks laid down. Keep your eye on the "have a listen" area - we'll post new material as we work toward releasing our next CD. 9/23/01
After a long period of neglect, we finally updated our web site! In addition to the many song samples, there are now complete songs available for download! Also check out the previously unreleased tracks from the "escape velocity" sessions - a website exclusive! We are now offering our CDs at a very nice price. And lastly, there are a few new pictures for you to check out. 9/16/01
Jim has announced that he is leaving the uVu fold. In addition to bass, he plays guitar and keyboards too, and wants to pursue projects that provide more of an outlet for his varied talents. We will always be grateful for the 3 1/2 years he contributed his fine bass and guitar skills to the band. We wish him well in all his future endeavors. 8/15/01
We were invited back to play for the kids attending the Youth Leadership Foundation camp. Once again, we all had a blast! Paul, our friend and guitar player extraordinaire, joined forces with us again for this outing. Our friend Don came along to help with sound, and was kind enough to take a few pictures. 8/16/00
We played a benefit for a group of disabled high school kids, while they were attending a week long camp sponsored by the Youth Leadership Foundation of Washington state. The kids participate in all kinds of activities during the week, while staying at the Evergreen Community College campus. We had a blast, and the kids did too! A lot of the students hadn't experienced much live music, so it was a real treat for all. Our thanks to Marc and Tom Coyington for hooking us up with this event. 3/14/00
We're now on Radi01. A great site for information on all your favorite local bands. Check 'em out! |
