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

I'm crap at remembering to do this.

Since the last post we've done some things. We played our gig at the Buffalo Bar in London with mostly success. I say mostly as we had a few technical hitches in the soundcheck resulting in us having to play in mono which, for those of you not technically minded, is not a good thing.

Even so, we sounded pretty good and went down well with the punters. Except for this one guy with a monkey face who kept shouting "shite" and "one less song!". No pleasing some folk.

We played:

Vibrato (badly)
Tomorrow's Clowns
Tramapoline
Accordination
My Little Underground
Ohm Sweet Ohm

Oh yes, I forgot. We didn't end up playing Nottingham after all.

We did, however, play at Optimo in Glasgow and if I do say so myself, it was probably our best gig.

No technical hitches, no schoolboy errors in performance, very loud sound system, receptive crowd of about 200ish and Marceline also wore her cat shoes. Wahayy!

We played the same set as at the Buffalo Bar.

The forthcoming Aberdeen gig is still on although I'm not sure if Hookers Green are playing. The Glasgow gig is yet to be confirmed.

There are now more mp3s and photos on the website and yet more to be added from past gigs so you can judge for yourself whether we were any good if you doubt my reviews. There's also some more on:

I think that's it.

See you at the beach party!
