We are not only playing this set, it’s in honor of the fact that BUFF is screening our video for the title track from our album, “This Is An Adventure” as the opening of the festival. Way cool!

CT Rock this Friday w/Math and Lima!

Posted on by

Missed the Brooklyn amazing-ness?

We return with thunder and aplomb to the mighty little Toquet hall, where we and Math first forged our sinewy kinship.

Us and Math and Lima
at
Toquet Hall
January 9, 2009
7pm
58 Post Road East (2nd Floor) in Westport, Connecticut

This place has the weird policy that it is ONLY open to high school students, which we have no idea whether or not they are firm about. Just convince them ou are in high shool, or if that’s improbably, say ,”I’m in Uncle Monsterface.” Technically, everyone is.

Ever your sneezy,
Uncle Boogerface

Uncle Mon-MonToast

We are in BLENDER (again)!

Posted on by

Ok! Hi everybody! The Big Cool News of note and noteworthiness is that we are in BLENDER magazine this month! This summer, along with the rest of UNLIMITED ENTHUSIASM, we were honored to be a part of the super-amazing lightning factory and Nerd/Geek/Weird Rock festival known as NERDAPALOOZA. In addition to it being a Geek-gasm of total awesome-ness and a D20 of rock and roll, BLENDER magazine was awesome enough to be there covering it. So go check us out on page 67 as flanked by giant robots, foxy zombies, and inflatable monkeys (in our element, as it were)!
way cool!
