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.

We played another gig, this time at The Lemon Tree in Aberdeen on the 16th October with Masamune, (who we didn't see), Sweetheart and Ekizel.

We played alright but there was nobody there so it hardly mattered.

About five people we knew, (mostly relatives), and about another twenty people made up the crowd. I'd put this down to the fact that Souvaris and Hooker's Green No. 1 dropped out of the original band line-up and nobody knows who the hell we are in Aberdeen.

We played the same set as in Optimo.

I'd also like to take this opportunity to say how much I'm going to miss John Peel. Other than being a big fan of his show, he also was one of the only people to play my first record which I will always be very proud of.
