the Underlings CD Release is APRIL 27th!

 

We hope to see you there! We are totally stoked to bring together 2 of our favorite current bands - the Lovesores from PDX and Eugene's own Soothesayers.The Lovesores features Scott Deluxe Drake from the Humpers and also features members of  The Vice Principals, The Suicide Kings, The Fast Takers and 8 Foot Tender.They fucking rock. Combined with the Soothesayers, this is going to be a super-charged night of rock and roll hell. Oh...and not to mention it's our CD release for our long-awaited second CD, EDGY. We recorded it at Mike Lastra's Smegma Studios in North Portland and laid the tracks completely down in 3 days last June. Later we went back to mix it in 2 days and that was that. Throw in umpteen shows in Eugene and Portland and we saved up enough in our war chest to finance the release of the CD without any external or credit-oriented contributors. Rock and roll paid for this CD, so come out and buy one and support our asses, we want to celebrate the release of our new songs unto the world.

Heck yeah, we had a great time taking the opening slot for Pierced Arrows last Friday night at ol' Sam Bond's. Our set was well-received; we saw lots of friends and they saw us, too. Underlings Prac has not happened with the usual frequency this month, being that I've been moving to Portland - I think I'm there now - but we rocked it nonetheless, maybe with just a few rough edges; just like our crowd, some would say. The Soothesayers took the stage after us, and they had a super-charged set, sounding totally different without their mainstay keyboard player Jenn :( we were all disappointed that she wasn't there, but hell yeah, they rocked, and Sam's vocals were as chilling as ever. Pierced Arrows are a big fave around the Underlings camp, so we were in the room and paying full attention the whole time they were up doing their thing. They sounded raw, ragged and real and hit on several Dead Moon songs that the crowd were happy to hear. Toody and Fred weer nice as always and we wished them well, collected our shit and went home for konk time. We prbably don't have to tell you that our CD release is later this month at Luckeys, but we will tell you that we will be thrilled if you come out and see us. It's taken us 5 years and a lot of sweat, blood and motivation to scrape up the loyal cadre of fans that we have, but we are always recruiting new members to our flock, so come out and congregate with us on April 27th down at the ol' Luckeys in Eugene. We'll take your money and give you an earful in return.

peace out,
