A Quick VTU Update

Saturday, February 6th, 2010

Versus The Universe has hit our stride again.  The cohesion of the group is at a place where it’s never been before, and the payoff is coming through in our music.

We are currently working on four new songs, and I have to say that they are awesome.  I’m not saying that because I’m in the band, or because I’m one of the great group of people writing them.  I’m saying that because it’s the god’s honest truth.  It’s the kind of music you would want to hear when you turn on your favorite radio station.

Everything is evolving in such a great way in VTU right now.  Nick has a bad ass new bass cab that has really enhanced his sound, Muj and I are experimenting with our effects in a more expressive manner, Travis is hitting a new stride vocally, and Zach is helping us experiment with synth elements in some of our songs.  Everything has come together in such a way that inspiration is almost constant.

Yes it’s true… VTU has matured…  We can’t wait for you to hear the results.

A New Era

Sunday, January 24th, 2010

As our first real practice came to a conclusion yesterday, every single one of us silently came to the same conclusion…

Something truly special has happened to VTU…

Seriously now! Those of you close to the band knew we were taking some time to reflect upon our desires, our lives, our focus…but who could have possibly understood the outcome of it? Who could possibly fathom that the group of us sitting down and discussing what we passionately wanted out of life would produce the outcome that it did.

Something truly special…

Getting into the practice room felt good, almost natural again. But there was something else…silent…unspoken…but lit by a fire that could be felt from within. It was the focus that VTU had been searching for all along. The realization, that as a group of individuals, we had achieved more than what we expected…but on a large scale of things…we had achieved nothing yet. We still have so much farther to go in order to achieve our goal of bringing a unique and passionate blend of music to virgin ears, and it’s time to start running. Caught up in our recent personal successes, we failed to reach our true potential…and yesterday…we began to open the door.

The music we began to create yesterday was driven, different, more mature. It symbolized the change that we had endured through our brief hiatus, and it was amazing.

We don’t have an official date on the studio, but we’ve already begun to discuss our plan for when we do…

We haven’t set up an official date to play out of the area, but we’ve already begun planning on when we do…

We haven’t officially written anything new, but the stuff we are is encouraging enough to get us excited…

It truly is an exciting era to be involved with such an amazing group of talented individuals…but we need your help. Tell your friends! Tell your family! Tell a complete stranger!

Tell anyone with the ability to listen about what’s to come…

It truly is something amazing…

We all can’t wait for you to experience what we did when we walked out of rehearsal yesterday afternoon…can you?

We Are Looking Ahead and it Looks Good

Saturday, January 23rd, 2010

The dust of 2009 has settled and the new year is well under way. We have made our plan for 2010, and we hope that all of you will help us make it come to fruition. Here is what you can expect from Versus The Universe this year.

First… We are going to go back in to the studio. We had a great time doing the Tragic Life of Karl Korbin, and now it is time for the follow up. There will be new material on this album that will blow you away. When you have it, you will love it. And feel free to let us know if there are any of our newer tunes you seen us perform that you’d like to hear on the album!

Second… We are going to give you more shows in more places. Our goal is to do our damndest to give you every opportunity to see us live. We are currently working to get into more venues throughout the area and beyond. Maybe you’ll even see us on some of those fantastic festivals that happen around here all the time.

Third… We are going to get some radio play. A new album means people need to hear it. What better way for people to hear it than to be on the radio? We hope all of you will be blowing up the phones of our local rock stations asking for some VTU.

And finally… We are always going to be giving you the best in local, regional, and even national original music. We can’t do it without all of you that are firmly behind us, and we hope you will continue this ride with us. Tell your friends, tell your family, tell your co-workers… VTU is the band to see, and we promise to keep it that way.

Remember… Support original music! We will be seeing all of you at our next show not far away.
