Hey people,

UGC phase two is well underway. Tonight we played at O'Brien's, a venue we have never played before. I had a lot of fun tonight, and it was very exciting to get the new lineup back on stage.

As a special treat, we played four new songs tonight. We've been polishing these up over the last few weeks, and they are really great. I can really see that we are growing as a band, both in our musicianship and in the types of music we are willing to play. Johnny, our new singer, is a big part of that, and I think he is finally getting comfortable being on stage with the group. Since reforming, we aren't 100% tight yet, but we are very close, and by the time we hit summer festival season, we will be really snapping.

The fabulously talented Miss Monique sang with us again tonight. She always really gets the audience going, and it really gets us into it when we hear a sweet female voice singing along with what we do.
We are going to be announcing our summer festival appearances soon, so stay tuned! I can't wait to see all of you at a show very soon.

Love,

Brian
