and loud music. but only if it's not on crappy speakers. and not too loud, mind- we often send sound limiters straight into the red!
between the four of us there are too many musical performers too start listing, suffice to say that we love all kinds of stuff and don't rely too heavily on trying to sound like our fave musicians, otherwise we'd end up sounding like something we're not.
Our mission is not to divide- we are here to unite and devise a plan to help bring people together and while we're at it, let's encourage unity throughout 2009.
For doesn't music have the power to change people's lives? It has done so for us in so many ways!
We are a four-piece from south east London and have been going strong since 2003
U&D have received great feedback from The NEW YORK DOLLS and Del Palmer (musician/producer, KATE BUSH)!
U&D have built up a following of loyal fans while gigging hard across London, and performing at many festivals over the summer seasons, including GLASTONBURY 2009 (six gigs there in 2008!), SECRET GARDEN PARTY, STOKEFEST, BIG GREEN GATHERING, OUT OF The ORDINARY, SMALL WORLD, BONKERSFEST, HOPE Weekender and CARSHALTON ENVIRONMENTAL FAIR, as well live interviews and performances on-air including BBC RADIO1.
