Not only are we headlining at Gil’s this Friday with Revery, City Voices and The Gloom, but we will also be on March 26th. Same bat time, same bat channel, but with Flies with Honey, Chasing Dead Lions and Ignore the Sun.

I can’t stop

I can’t seem to stop making Versus the Universe desktop images. But then again no one has told me too. So you asked for it in your silence. Just saying…

A gift for Muj

As promised here are a some previously released and some brand shiny new wallpaper images in wide screen format. I hope they look nice on your fancy monitor (Muj). If anyone has any suggestions, requests or ideas, please send us an e-mail to band@versustheuniverse.com.

A Quick VTU Update

Kevin — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 23:45:08 +0000

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.

How about some more?

I think I might keep going with this until someone tells me to stop or my motivation wanes, whichever comes first.

More Desktops

So it’s seems that people (2) liked the desktop images I whipped last night so here are a few more to peek out around the edge of your browser window while you surf the Internets instead of working. I promise I will create some wide-screen versions too.

Your desktop photo sucks

nick — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 03:44:09 +0000

I’m sorry, everyone who sits around you at work has told me they’re tired of seeing that tired image barely peaking out from that mess of file icons you call an organization system. Seriously spilled Cheerios look neater than that. So spiff up that electronic background with my newest desktop photo. A perfect compliment to VTU tunes.

A New Era

Travis — Sun, 24 Jan 2010 21:56:35 +0000

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?
