A band so new, it is not yet named. "Logic's smokin' beats, with Freekbass' funky basslines, is topped off with Molitz otherworldly keyboards."

The Church of Universal Love and Music held their annual Funk festival over the summer and it featured some of the greatest funk musicians touring right now. This year, Freekbass met up with Steve Molitz, keyboard player for Particle, and turntablist, DJ Logic. Freekbass and Molitz joined DJ Logic onstage for a crazy jam that did not focus on any particular song. The energy was so high and the vibes so good, the three decided that they needed to get together with more frequency, and have tentatively begun to get a band together. The band hopes to tour together late winter and Spring of 2010.

Chris "Freekbass" Sherman says of the meeting, "It turned out to be one of those magical musical moments, so we decided to do some full shows together." Because of the way that the audience was an integral part of the initial jam, they felt strongly that the audience should be involved with the creation and naming of the band. So we are asking people that are interested to go to Twitter and answer "Name the new DJ Logic, Steve Molitz, Freekbass groove project. Tweet using the hashtag #logicmolitzfreek. Or hit Logic and Freekbass directly at http://twitter.com/projectlogic and/or http://twitter.com/freekbass. The person whose name is chosen will be on the Lifetime-Guestlist to this "yet to be named band's" shows.

A band is a living organism: changing, adapting, and growing.  As one ebbs another flows and we use every experience as a reminder of where we have been and a forecast of where we are going.  It is with much sadness that U-Melt announces the departure of guitarist, Rob Salzer, from U-Melt. Rob helped create U-Melt out of a440 in 2003 and has enjoyed all of U-Melt’s adventures over the last 6 years. Together, we have had the pleasure of creating both unique music and a passionate fan base in cities around the country. Rob has decided he needs to attend to both his medical needs (not too serious, don’t worry!) and new personal endeavors.  While we are sad to see our dear friend go, we admire Rob for taking care of himself and we are by his side during this process. The band completely supports his decision as we know it is right for him at this time.  Rob is always a member of the U-Melt family and we look forward to collaborating with him in both the studio and on the stage in the future.
 
Moving forward to the next exciting chapter for U-Melt, it is with great pleasure that we announce that long time friend of the band, Kevin Griffin, will be U-Melt’s new guitarist beginning in February for the Perfect World Album Release Tour (dates below).  Kevin has shared the stage with U-Melt a number of times over the years and solidified his place in the family the last few weeks by proving his impeccable taste and timing during the audition process.  According to U-Melt's keyboardist, Zac Lasher, "Kevin's sense of timing and space are fantastic, and he can make some great sounds with his guitar rig. When we were playing together the other day, he was doing some textural stuff that absolutely blew my mind. He brought a new sound and energy to the music that had Bendy, G, and I looking up and laughing because it sounded so damn good. "  He has been a staple on the NY/NJ live music scene for many years, sometimes juggling as many as 5 different and diverse bands at a time and playing 200 shows a year.  Those of you that have been able to catch The Point or Reckoning can imagine how excited we are to add his extensive experience and great talent to U-Melt.  In addition to playing a captivating guitar, Kevin studied jazz woodwinds and audio recording tech at the same school as Adam and Rob.  We are very excited for the multi-faceted approach Kevin will be adding to U-Melt’s sound along with his spirited song writing skills, impressive catalogue of covers and years of musical experience on the road.  (N)U-Melt in 2010!
 
We thank our fans for their support and their patience these last few months.  We know you will all help us welcome our new spectacular guitarist to the band.  As the tide shifts U-Melt has a lot of exciting news for 2010.  First,  we will be streaming one track from U-Melt’s upcoming album, "Perfect World", over the next 10 weeks on our MySpace page http://www.facebook.com/l/156ad;www.myspace.com/umelt .  "Perfect World" will be released in stores nationally via Harmonized Records on February 23, 2010 and we'll be celebrating it's release with a party in our hometown of New York City at the Bowery Ballroom!  As each week passes, we'll replace the studio track in Myspace with new one.  So, be sure to check in every week for a taste of "Perfect World" and other exciting news on unreleased outtakes and new songs with Kevin Griffin.  Finally, get ready for the holidays U-Melt style!  In the coming weeks we will be releasing a number of new crisp SBD recordings through our very own U-Tunes live download service http://www.facebook.com/l/156ad;livedownloads.com/live-music/3,441/U-Mel... .  If you’re looking for the perfect present for that friend that has everything, you can rest assured they do not have these unreleased recordings.  Be sure to join us on the Perfect World National Tour as we launch a new era of U-Melt.
