Hey UFD Fans! Matt here writing to thank not only all of you who came out to our show last Saturday at The Gig, but to those of you who could not attend yet took the time to wish us well. As a member of the band since early 1996 your dedication and support after all of these years continues to blow me away!!

I know I speak for the entire band when a say “THANK YOU!’ and we’ll continue to do this thing thanks in large part to knowing you’ll be there to cheer us on and enjoy the vibe.

Recording Process Begins

UFD is back in the studio. We had some technical difficulties that led to starting over. Oops.

The recording process is torture. One moment you like what you hear. Elation. The next day you hate it. Dissapointment. This goes on hour-to-hour, day-to-day, until you are finally finished. Once you are done, you finally assign your emotion to each song (or parts of songs). Yesterday was pretty good, though. I think you will like what you hear when we are done. A little bit of growth on our part.

How do you feel when you work on your personal artistic projects??

Optical Illusion?

Is that an optical illusion? There’s nothing like a trip to the Pumpkin Patch to get the creative juices flowing. I recieved an email with a link to that cool optical illusion, and decided to post it to the UFD server. I sent a link to 20 people on October 25th. The count now has a life of it’s own. Check it and see.

Happy Re-living Halloween

I was just playing around with a new UFD slideshow, and I happened upon this photo from the oldest set of images on the UFD server. Halloween 2000 headlining 14 Below with James Marsters from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. This was the heyday of UFD. James Marsters brought a lot of fans to the UFD shows, and many of his fans still hang with UFD today. This was the only show where Marsters performed in his “Spike” makeup. To see the halloween party photos (Chuck in drag, Keri as jailbird), just page through the slideshow albums to the very end. (click the little icon in the lower left hand corner to see the 5 pages of albums).

Chuck’s mum say’s, “Hello”

nelsdrums — Wed, 19 Oct 2005 15:41:00 +0000

Chuck’s mom came by for a visit with Keri, and to hear what Chuck’s new 5-string bass sounds like in the studio. Did I say “new 5-string” and “studio” in the same sentence? Yes. Contrary to recent rumours of UFD’s imminent demise, we are back in the studio recording new material. You’ll have to be patient , though. There is no longer anybody piloting the plane. So who knows when and if we will land some completed, mixed tracks.
