Welcome to the Üter website.

Üter is a one-man-band with a difference. There's three of us. I am called Declan and I started Üter in about 1998 on my own and have recorded and released two singles, Vibrato (self-funded) and Tomorrow's Clowns (on OSCarr Records).

As the idea of me on stage playing along to a backing tape sounds fairly dull I have enlisted the help of Marceline Smith (token chick) and Martin Johnstone (one for the ladies) to play along with me to that backing tape. If the mood takes them and there's nothing on TV, they sometimes contribute in the studio too.

There is no big philosophy to the band, unless Martin and Marceline have one that I don't know about. It's more of a collection of opinions, tastes, senses of humour and general high moral standards expressed through the medium of music. That, and a way of avoiding having to grow up and get a proper career.


NEWS

Here are things we did or are doing recently or in the near future:

We played in Stereo for the Asking For Trouble record launch night on Sunday 18th July with Sunnyvale Noise Sub-Element and Hex. As far as the bands were concerned I thought it was a fine gig with all bands sounding pretty damn good. There could have been more people there though. Here's what we played:

01 Vibrato
02 Tomorrow's Clowns
03 Tramapoline
04 Accordination
05 My Little Underground
06 Ohm Sweet Ohm
07 Where Is The Lid?

We are in the process of updating our live set up to include more keyboards, samplers and drum machines instead of my pre decimal computer so hopefully this should be done before any more gigs.

Speaking of which, we have the folowing upcoming live shows:

20th August, Nottingham, tbc

21st August, Cut & Paste, Buffalo Bar, Highbury, London
with Sunnyvale Noise Sub-element

5th September, Optimo, The Sub Club, Glasgow

15th October, Glasgow, venue to be confirmed
with Souvaris and Hookers Green No1

16th October, The Lemon Tree, Aberdeen
with Souvaris and Hookers Green No1

I also think we might be putting out another 12" on OSCarr Records before the end of the year.
