Today is , and this is the Everybody Uh Oh website, which was last updated on December
13th, 2005.
....:::........:::....
CURRENTLY:
baby&hide
is birthed.
Everybody Uh Oh is apparently dead in the water, on indefinite hiatus,
broken up, has-beens, or whatever you want to call it. Not that it was
ever intended to be a long-term musical project. And there is nothing
negative about it, just transition, progression, growth. It was the
college band, you know? They did good things, made a solid record,
played some shows, drove out to both coasts, had good times. But now
that has come to an end... sort of.
The collaboration between Chris and Jeremy alluded to in the last post
(which was in like 2003 or something, and it is now less than 20 days
until 2006) is ongoing, although it is more of a Jeremy solo-project
than an actual band, which is not to say that there is no band, because
there is. But it is, like, a touring band, not so much a studio band.
Which is not to say that the band doesn't work on material in a
collaborative manner, because they do. But it is mostly Jeremy, and it
is called baby&hide.
So, yeah, unless a massive amount of free time appears on our doorstep,
this will be the last update for this website. For all other things
related to EUO, b&h,
or any of the TEAM AV artists, check out www.team-av.com.

MOST RECENTLY: Jeremy and Chris are playing together as a duo under
the Everybody Uh Oh flag. New songs have been recorded and gears are
turning. Hopefully, that means things will start happening sooner rather
than later. We are on top of it. Allen Iverson is representing the
United States. If you'd like to hear some new tunes, email
us.

NOT SO RECENTLY: hi. we're not playing shows as a band right now. this will probably last for a little while. we needed to tear it down and make it again, make it a little larger. we're going to document a handful of the guitar band songs we all have together in our friend ben's basement, and brian deck and i are going to start on some new songs in february. in the morning, i'm driving out to oberlin, ohio to make up some songs with
matt mehlan for like five days, recording where we mixed our album. i think this should all work out. its just sort of what needs to be done right now. its ok. i'm playing some shows by myself, solo reverby delay-y electric guitar, i like it. i'm pretty tired. thanks for reading
this -- jeremy

ANCIENT HISTORY: Duders, our van got stolen. What gives?
Honey, we're home. Tour was a rousing success. We were Everyday Uh Oh in
Boston and Everything Uh Oh in Lansing. The van had zero problems, and we had no
proverbial hassle from the proverbial fuzz, until when we were driving home,
and got pulled over for having bunk registration. It was all good though,
Officer Burton was a doll. Best random band we played with? Reading, of Athens,
with The Stay Lows of Buffalo not far behind. We all got hella sick, but it's
all good. We actually came out ahead money-wise which was nice. Kudos to
Harnack for making it all happen.

hello dudes, we are on day 3 of tizour. we played a pretty awesome show last night in carbondale with the plus and the emily shrine, good times. and then, i was walking outside, and i caught 3 white-baseball-hat types trying to break into our van? isn't that messed up? so if you see a little white car driving around somewhere, and its illinois plates
CHEW E 34, smash their windows. we're going to scenic Hazard Kentucky now. have a pleasant morning
One day, we'll say we're going to update more, and we'll actually do it. Things have been pretty chill around here lately. Chris is in his Polish motherland. Jeff is finishing up his BA in
Champaign while laying tile and getting sick a bunch. We're just about done with the four songs at Engine, and they sound sweet, complete with patented Brian Deck percussion insanity. We'll be touring the southeast and east coast in August, so we'll let you know when we've got all the dates and whatnot.
For now, check out our friend matt's new label www.shinkoyo.com.
Good stuff.
and now for a few orders of business:
A. Everyone email our good friend Troy Michael at Innocent Words Records, who
was just in a bad car accident a few days ago, seperating his shoulder and
totalling his little red sports car. He's doing well though, send your best
wishes (or porn) to innocentwords10@aol.com
B. We are playing Monday March 31st at the Abbey Pub with one of our
collective favorite bands, Crooked Fingers. Headlining will be Spoon,
another great band. There are only a handful of tickets left for this show,
so go to the abbey box office, ticketweb.com, or call 866.468.3401. should be
an amazing show
C. We want to say thanks to our friend Karin over at Tower Records on Clark
in Chicago. Not only did she pass our album onto a certain bald Chicago
music icon whose new band starts with a Z (of all letters!), but she put our CD into the employee listening station, where it proceeded to sell more
copies than any cd ever has from those listening stations. Huzzah! So Karin,
this Bud's (or these buds) for you.
D. A couple days after the show, we head into a real studio for the first
time, to record some songs with Brian Deck (Modest Mouse, Red Red Meat,
Califone, etc...) at Engine Studios in Wicker Park (the 34th neatest people
in Chicago music according to NewCity). We're recording songs for a demo
that will be pimped to some cool ass labels by our new manager Sean Duffy
(the 41st neatest person in Chicago music according to NewCity). Things are
getting saucy! We'll probably be recording three new songs, which currently
go by the hella creative names of "new song," "tour song," and "neil song,"
plus a dusty or two. Maybe Death version 5.0, we'll see.
E. We had an interesting time on the road last weekend. OK, so after we got
our asses rejected by South by Southwest, we were supposed to get some sweet
dates in New York for that time. So we decided to make a little week jaunt
out of it. Then the New York dates fell through too, so we just kept what was
supposed to be the first two dates of the tour. We headed up to Muskegon MI
to play, we got there, and the promoters are like, you're not on the bill,
despite our just talking to the dudes the day before. It ended up just being
a misunderstanding, so they gave us some money and we moved on. We went to
stay at Allison's dad's crib in Ann Arbor and, despite our mapquest
directions including a journey down Stadium Drive, we did not get to see "the
big house," Michigan Stadium, which dissappointed us further. A cool thing
about being in a band is seeing sports stadiums, we've been able to see where
the Colorado Rockies, Nebraska Cornhuskers, San Fransisco 49ers, and where a
bunch of other teams play, but no Muck Fichigan. oh well. So then we went
onto the second show in Akron OH (we stayed near where the Cleveland Indians
play). We played with an absolutely amazing bluegrass meets Irish punk with
resonator guitars band on Arena Rock Records called The Boggs. Do check them
out. Unfortunately, we basically played to each other. So then we drove home
early in the morning, so Neil and Kelly could go to Las Vegas and lose all
their money and hopefully drunkenly get married.
F. Allison has pointed out that there has been no mention on our site about
our drummer since November, Jeff Phillippe. So here's a little about our new
guy: Despite not having any relation to Ryan Phillippe, Jeff is still damn
sexy. He enjoys hot funk like Parlament, and brings our percentage of
philosophy majors up to 40%. The Spinal Tap jokes end........NOW

Hi, we're going to try to keep this a little more updated, since that's what
websites are for. Chris got in an accident with the van on Christmas Eve on I-57, we thought it was going to be ok, but I guess the repairs will be too
much. So we have no van. On the bright side, while it was sitting at "the
shop," the spare tire on the back somehow exploded, shattering the van's
back window, and sending projectiles through windows at the place. No joke.
No one had ever heard of this ever happening, ever.
We're starting work on recording an EP for Innocent
Words Records this week, tentatively titled The Dizzy Train in Your
Ears. It's our return to recording with a five dollar computer mic, so it
should be a lot of fun. We're also playing some friends' release shows in
the next month, with the Red Hot Valentines on January 31st, and Absinthe
Blind on February 21st. We're also headlining at the Abbey Pub on January
30th, so we need everyone's support for that show. More details can be
found in the Dates section. Raiders to win, Bucs to cover.
You can find a few unreleased tracks out on compilations right now:
"Velveteen" is on the new Innocent
Words compilation and "City Pride 2" is on the sampler
disc out with the current issue of Copper
Press. You can also read a great review of Man Am I Brad in
issue #51 of the Big Takeover and there will be an article in an
upcoming issue of Copper Press. Man Am I Brad has also made
several Best of 2002 lists from places like OpeningBands.com
and Music Emissions in
Canada. Hoorah. Thank you. Have a good day.

Our song "Serious Mode" has been getting a couple spins on 107.1
The Planet,
and we need your help in keeping it going. you can email requests to onair@wpgu.com, or call
'em up at 217-244-1071. our friends the Red Hot Valentines and Absinthe
Blind have proven that, if people are loud enough,
local music does have a fighting chance on commercial radio. so please,
don't feel silly, if you wanna' hear us on the radio, or if you at least
think we're more worth listening to than Staind, let em know. we appreciate
your assistance in world (or central illinois) domination.

The album is OUT! OUT! OUT and available for order at the Arborvitae
Store. It was released on September 9th. There has been talk of
actually updating this nice website which someone else designed for us
and which we haven't paid for yet, but it's just talk at this
point. Oh yeah, if you want to help us make some money and also
buy some cool stuff on the cheap, check out this
stuff.

Everybody Uh Oh finally
has a goddamn website. Welcome to it. You're probably
already spending too much time on the internet so, in your best
interests, we have kept the content of this website to a minimum.
For now it will get you where you need to go, which is off your ass and
down to your local basketball court.
As you may have heard from the buzz around your town, our town and every
town, we will indeed be releasing an album this year. As a matter
of fact, the album was recorded by Matt Mehlan earlier this year in
Schaumburg and then mastered by Matt at TIMARA in Oberlin, Ohio.
With his vice-like hold on us, Matt also mixed and mastered the album,
also in Oberlin, and damn if he didn't play on the thing too. We
tried to paint our own artwork but that didn't really work out so Eric
J. Herboth put together an artwork package to go with the cover photo
which was taken by Sameer Bawa. The album even has a name, Man
Am I Brad, and it will be officially released to the public on
September 9th as AV021. We are excited to have Arborvitae Records
releasing our debut, and they are happy to be releasing it (even though
they don't know that they're merely a stepping stone to Interscope).
Everybody Uh Oh is Kavin Chan, Arwin Neil DeGuia, Jeremy Keller, Chris
Pogorzelski and post-recording live drums by Phil Calato and Drew Tarico.

Eric J Herboth has plans to turn the band into an international pop
sensation.
