UHH Mini Show at CORONET THEATRE JAN 13, 2010

Hello lovely people. We’re going to be doing a small impromptu show with our friend and hilarious comedian Tig Notaro at Largo’s Coronet Theatre on January 13. We’d love to see your faces. You’ll also just have a really good time since Tig is one of the funniest people on the planet. There will be jokes, jokes, interviews and UHH playing a short 3 song set. Maybe you’ll hear some new tunes? I’m just sayin. Hope to see you there…

XO UHH

Bumbershoot Festival Update
Current mood: exhausted

Just letting you know that we’re really excited to be playing this festival… We play Seattle saturday night from 7:45-8:45 pm at the Broad Street Stage. We’ll be signing merch for a short time after the show, so please come say hi! What’s the weather like there now? Hopefully not flaming like Los Angeles. We’re looking forward to getting out of the smokey hellish vibe we’ve got going on over here from the fires. See you all really soon.

AUGUST 09 UPDATE
Current mood: breezy
Hello lovely peoples of the night-

We just wanted to give you all a quick update as to what the *@#$ us going on in our world. We suggest that you join our twitter because we seem to be updating more over in that world…it’s easier and more immediate, no? Please come and follow us! If you’re more of the slow paced, easy going myspace type, then that’s just fine. We update every 6 months. haha.

We’re currently in the middle stages of recording our record, which is very exciting. We’ve had a lot of time to sit back and contemplate life, liberty, and the usual. This new record is very adventurous, and we’ve found that we have so much material that we’ll have ample songs leftover for B-sides and another EP for sure.

To sum it all up we thank you for your patience and support! It’s been really cathartic going through this whole process on our own, all by ourselves. Learning a lot! So thank you, and please stay tuned as I’m sure we’ll sneak a track onto our myspace in the near future just to mix it up. We know you’re probably sick of listening to the same songs!

Also, to all of our pacific northwestern people, we’re very excited to be finally playing Bumbershoot Festival in Seattle. We’ll be playing new songs there for sure.

Lastly, our record “Common Reaction” is going to be released in UK/Europe late this August. We just found out today from our label that they will be releasing it, so hopefully you’ll be able to buy it in the stores like the olden days. We’ll keep you posted as far as the specific date. Tell your friends and your grandparents.

That’s all for now-Hope you’re all well.

XO
UHH

Current mood: crunk

Hey Guys-So we’re officially on twitter again. We took a tiny break, but we’re going to be giving updates and also generously giving you a piece of our amazingly insightful banter. I’m sure you’ll be profoundly affected by all of it. We do hope you’ll choose to follow us. We luf you.

Mixed Nuts
Current mood: drained

Hello everyone….we are in our studio and thought we’d give you an update in the world of UHH. We finally got the limited edition “Common Reaction” white vinyl in our hands and we plan to have those up for sale in our store within the next couple of weeks. They look amazing and I spun one in my house the other day and it sounded perfect. We are still in the haze of song writing. Songs come, songs get thrown out, songs get re-worked. This is the process and we love it here. I promise we won’t stay here forever even though we could. How about instead of us touring a new record, you come here one by one and we’ll play you our new songs. We can order in whatever you’d like and either play them live or we could jump in one of our cars and crank the speakers under the stars. I like it. Cam makes a great homemade trail/nut mix. In fact she just handed me some and it’s really off the hook, I’m not kidding. She says instead of going nuts she just mixes them. If you live in Portland or Seattle then you’ll be seeing us soon. Also I think we are going to attempt to Twitter again. I can’t promise much but we’ll give it a try. We hope you’re all having a beautiful summer so far. xo, UHH

(From the Message Boards)
So we’re very excited to see all the chatter on here! We’ve finally hired someone to upkeep our boards, etc… Stay tuned for updates from us here while we work in the studio on our next record. We’re really excited for what the future holds seeing as how we’re venturing out into new territory, aka, on our own! It’s exciting to realize that we have total control now over our music and what we put out into the world. It’s hard work, but we’re so up for the challenge! Dream big right??? More to come soon…
Lots of xo’s and warm tingly feelings…

I SEE RED EP BACK UP FOR SALE!
Current mood: crunk

We just wanted to let you know that finally you are able to get our EP “I See Red” at our merch store online. There is a link to it on our myspace. All you have to do is click Merch and it takes you right there. We did another press and wanted to make physical copies available to you since iTunes is no longer carrying it at the moment. We should also have a limited run of “Common Reaction” Vinyl up for sale soon as well. We changed up the artwork a little so it’s extra special…

We hope this finds you all well. We’re still plugging away in the studio and hope to have some b-sides up soon for your listening pleasure.
We heart you.

Current mood: aroused

Hey Everyone-
We just wanted to first let you know that we have fixed a major glitch on our myspace that had been occurring for months where your comments and posts weren’t being accepted. This is now fixed, so please forgive technology and the interweb for being a bit testy at times. We hope you didn’t feel as though we were not accepting your comments!!!! Please comment away. We’re listening and appreciate all the love…
..More updates and studio crazed photos to come!
We heart you, we really do.

Day 90

Well it’s been 3 months of writing and we hit a wall today. We had to go out in the parking lot and play nerf football to let off some steam. The band next door started playing when they were on their cigarette break (smoking kills) and threw our ball up on the roof. It’s down now. Our studio is super cute. We’ve been having a great time in here. Our dreams finally came true and we’ve been able to write together in the same room for more than 4 days at a time. Cam keeps the air conditioner at some artic setting and I have to bring layers of clothing to get through the day. She is also on some sort of cleanse so she’s a real joy to be around. We have two death metal bands on either side of us as well so we have to get most of our work done before they arrive. We tried to record vocals one night when they were practicing but it sounded like someone was being tortured to death in the background. Even with crazy obstacles like these we can still get a song written, thats how deep our talent runs. We miss you terribly and promise to be more attentive to your needs. I think we’re at the point where we can come out of our little hidy hole and let you know what we’re up to. big kiss, UHH

blahblahblogggg and band update!
Current mood: knighted

Hello everyone…How art thou? We’ve been meaning to write to you for a while! Sorry we’re so bad about this. Our new years resolution is to get better at it. I’m really personally quite bad about the “blog” as you can tell. I’m kind of a blog virgin, or a blavirgin? Leisha usually writes it while I’m with her, however our schedules aren’t really matching up at the moment, and well, I really felt like we should give you an update, so here goes nothin… Since returning from Holiday we wanted to let you know that we’re once again in “writing” mode. This means new EP, new record, NEW NEW NEW! We got a cute studio space where we don’t have to build teepees to cut vocals in. Its very vibey, so hopefully some good stuff will come out of it. We’d been touring the Common Reaction album for a bit, and we thought its high time for some new songs. We realize that it hasn’t even come out in Europe, which it still might. We’re looking for the right home for it over there…Which brings me to say that sadly we will be leaving Nettwerk Records this year to become “free agents” once again…We felt as did the label that we were destined for different paths. In any case, we thank them for all their help in building this band from the ground up, and wish them nothing but the best. In the meantime we’ve been up to lots of stuff. Leisha is shooting a pilot as many of you have heard, and is also doing a short film at this very moment. Go acting! As for me, I’ve been making little guest appearances on different things. Most recently I made a “cameo” in the Se7en/Lil Kim video called “Them Girls”. I get to sip fake champagne and wear fake fur! Bobby Brown was there, it was nutty. I’m not sure when it debuts but I’ll certainly let you know. As for the band, we’ll be playing some one off shows here and there, but for the most part we’re back in the studio. We’ll be giving you updates letting you know how its going, and perhaps put some demos up for you to hear. Most of all we wanted to say thank you for all the lovin. Don’t worry, we won’t go into hiding again. You’ll be hearing from us really soon! BIG UHH LOVE~CAM
