A WtU week in Feb!

Sunday 13th Feb: Wtu perform at the  The Threshold Festival 2011

The Threshold Festival 2011 took place in over five levels and a shit loads of rooms at the Contemporary Urban Centre in Liverpool. To describe the Threshold Festival in 10 words:

Huge, Fun, Adventurous,  Secret, Bands, Photo, Party, Chilled, Arty, Theatre and … Music.

We the Undersigned played on the last night of the festival, and our performance featured special guest MCs Jay and Josh, perorming ‘Just the Type of Mood I’m In” with us! Boss work guys!

We also had a band photo shoot before the performance with our lovely and amazing photographer Andrew Ab! Shots were taken in: the Mezzanine, pigeon tent (Shubone tried to eat a pigeon in there) :S  and the secret room. Photos coming soon. POW!

My personal highlights of the Festival were Stealing Sheep, Louis Barabbas & The Bedlam Six, Constructors Collective, R&R feat Fluteman and The Elementals. And not to forget the Kevin Critchley Orchestra, who played on the Sunday.

Did I already mention that Kevin Critchley is playing at the WtU EP Launch Party as main support? Click here for more info.

 

15th Feb: EP Guitar Overdubs – Finished!

Jesus Chris completed some amaz guitar overdubs and solos in the studio, adding a little extra depth to some of the tracks on our imminent EP. More info. After the session, Chris commented: “The guitar overdubs were pretty speedy – heaviness added to No Hope and some ethereal noises laced into False Flag.”Collen also tweeted direct from the studio with exciting news regarding “ominous digital guitars” and Eduardo using tape delays “like Lee Scratch Perry”! The new tracks are clearly to sound pretty funkin’ epic! So make sure you grab your copy of the EP when it’s released on March 10th 2011. POW!!

17th Feb: Recording Session with the Blowback Horns on No One Left To Kiss

More overdub work and extra flourishes for the EP!  Blowback Horns sweetend up No One Left to Kiss!! POW

19th and 20th Feb: Positive Actions!

Collen and Mook took positive actions to protest the cuts to public services – cuts that would be unnecessary if corporations didn’t employ such massive tax avoidance policies.  Our WtU representatives joined forces on Sunday with UKUncut Liverpool and The Love Police, as well as a score of other groups and individual hoomans, to peacefully (and humourously!) close down both of Liverpool’s Vodaphone branches, as well as Topshop! MofotheMook tweets: “So the lucky staff at Vodaphone and Topshop in Liverpool got an early dart today. No thanks necessary guys.”  (Note: This is written by the Mook)

You might recognize the song in the first video

22nd Feb: EP Tracking DONE!

Final recording issues solved on 15 Days and 20 hours before the EP Launch PARTY!! WOOO!!! Joe showed his balls (metaphorically) in his solo for No Hope!! That’s why we call him Sick-as-Joe!! And I got a listen to False Flag and have to say zweet Jesus that song’s gone SICK in a GREAT way! We need to get some pedals to get that sound on stage guys!!

Lots of Love and read ya spoon Malou the Afro Head xx

But yeah so what’s up??

WtU are beside themselves with euphoria, cos we all love an Israeli funk band called ‘The Apples’, and we have been
asked to support them at the Masque in Liverpool!Woop!The Hat Band have unfortunately had to pull out of this gig, which is a major bummer, but it does mean WtU are now main support!
WtU will be shaking it up in their brass section as some of our members simply can’t be in Liverpool for the gig, so we are gonna strap on ‘The Elementals’ super-phat horns onto our very own Blowbax Brass. woop! So
come along! And ‘The Elementals’ gonna be supporting WtU before! Amaz!
Tickets are £7 and you can buy in advance – which we really
recommend doing! If you like funky music, this is gonna be one gig you
won’t wanna miss.
