Review: WtU supporting Louis Barrbas & the Bedlam Six

Thanks to Aaron for writing this awesome review :D That you can find on the Joe ManGone Music Blog http://t.co/jcC5vrXU

“Again a small interlude followed, allowing everyone to top-up their beverages and this time turn to face the steps at the rear of the room…It’s not often that you’ll see a band that have to perform across the back of a venue because the stage won’t hold them…and that’s WITHOUT a drummer. But We the Undersigned are very much the exception rather than the rule. A trait which I believe they revel in.As soon as they were all out and getting ready to begin, the expectation in the room heightened. An audible buzz of excitement hung in the air for a band that clearly had their fair share of fans around the room and they did not disappoint. From the outset they had the whole of The Kazimier skanking and jumping around the room as Collen Chandler led his collective through a vibrant tirade of songs that would have even the most rigid person busting shapes to. Their unique combination of funk, indie-rock, rap, reggae and jazz creates a sound so vivacious it felt as if the air itself was alive and moving around you. As they moved into “Paradise” they had worked the room into a frenzied state. Marie-Lou (Baritone Sax) strut her stuff across the stage, saxophone in hand, leading the front line of audience from one side of the room to other, as a battle to see who can dance harder begins. It really was absorbing to watch, and wholly enjoyable.They’re a band who knows how to have fun with what they do and they put everything into giving their audience the best show possible, their charisma carries through in every movement, every lyric sang out, in every note played. When they burst into“Cosmic warrior” it was met by a cacophony of noise and applause from the audience, people threw themselves about the dancefloor with renewed vigour and you could tell that Collen and company loved every minute of it.As their set finished the band was swamped on stage and you’d of been forgiven for thinking the night had reached its peak then and there, but you’d of also been quite wrong.”

WtU’s recent enlightenment ! No. 1

Hi welcome to this new section of enlightenment!
WtU will post here videos, music, writings or any form of art and knowledge that are mostly inspiring to us and contribute to the positive vibrations that we are working on!  And we like to share them inspirations with you!
For this time, we’ve got to present you to “United Vibrations” a band, we’ve discovered in July by browsing the web for afro beat and that we’ve immediately fell in love with. But, somehow got forgotten about…until the Mook re-discovered them on the line up for the Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 gig at the Kazimier last week.
<<The review of the night written by the Mook on Joe Manegone’s Music Blog will be available on FRIDAY right here>>
And since then ‘No Space No Time’ has been stuck in WtU’s ears and constant ‘Infinite eternal existence” shouts are following our lives :D
“INFINITE ETERNAL EXISTENCE *horn riff*” YEAAH …sorry couldn’t stop myself singing it now haha
So people watch this video of ‘No Space No Time”, be amazed, check out there album and gig dates on http://unitedvibrations.bandcamp.com and go see them live!, because United Vibrations are 4 top musicians with spot on messages. Like that we are creators of our own gods and reality. Spend some thoughts on that!

Spread the word! Love WtU x

Past Event: TGL Launch Party. 14th October.

Don’t know if you heard about it but get on this. “L” an alternative to money! We played at the launch of this new system of currency.

“TGL is an online community based upon helping local people and communities become more self-sufficient. Our aim is to reward members for making a positive contribution to their local community.

We pay members in our local alternative currency ‘L’ for teaching, giving and learning using the tgl ‘Skills Exchange’. L can then be used to help offset some of the ever increasing costs of living whilst promoting an exchange of skills and services amongst local communities.”

More info and register at www.tgl.tv

It was a boss jam session and we can officially welcome our newest band member Ben aka The Alto Ego (<<usually on guitar for Rumjig>>) on alto saxophone!

If there are any pictures or videos of that night please comment here or forward them to lovewtu@gmail.com

Peace WtU x
