Urban Family Dog

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 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.

Check out this cool night photo taken of Matt on the outdoor plaza of the Bonaventure Brewing Company. Vince took a bunch of cool shots where he did a kind of multiple exposure. There are more images on the new UFD Slideshow.

Hello all. UFD will experiment with a new website format that will allow for more open communication between the band members and the public at large. So far, only one person has been posting content to the site. With the new setup, others will be able to post content, and enter a dialog with friends and fans.

This setup is provided by Blogger. It is basically a weblog. I haven’t decided if it is best, or if we should be using some sort of BBS. In the meantime, this will be a fun experiment to see if anything happens. We may even set up a few private blogs for individuals in the band who have a lot to say. We are open to suggestions.
