What a weekend!

Our weekend was a fitting end to the year for Undercover gigs. On Friday morning we were asked by Pete from Napkin A*se & Squabbler to help them out as they were a singer down and had to cancel their gig at The Fatling & Firkin. We were also a man down with our bass player and PA man so step forward Pete to help us out with both. Using the Squabbler PA we carried off an excellent gig in front of lots of muso's, including the rest of Squabbler and Tony from Napkin A*se, and received plenty of praise from Matt who organises the gigs at the Firkin - "the best band on a Friday night for months!"
Saturday brought our last public gig at The Bull, Colchester and what a stonker of a gig it was. A packed venue which once again was full to capacity and everyone seemed up for it. We were going down extremely well which explains why we carried on past 12 for another 25 minutes of covers. It has to go down as one of our best gigs ever - even the bouncers were dancing! Really looking forward to visiting in 2009.
At the end of the night we met the band that were playing in the music room, SurfQuake who cover lots of surf songs, write some of their own and include Nelson, the bass player from New Model Army. Hopefully we'll catch these guys gigging one day and surf the night away.
The weekend was followed with our last gig of the year, at Parklands, Quendon entertaining for a wedding on Monday. Lots of Christmas feel to this and the lighting was almost solely supplied with candles. Our best wishes go to the bride and groom for a long and successful life.

Undercover get a Christmas make-over

Well, we're firmly into December and the website has taken on a Christmas theme with our snow background and Christmas fun video. We've also created a Flash player so that you can listen to the tracks we recorded in July direct from the site. Of course those who don't have Flash enabled can download the tracks and play them in their music players eg. QuickTime, Windows Media Player or direct from the likes of iTunes. Both the video and tracks can be found on our Undercover website and Undercover
MySpace site.

Why not view the Christmas video and listen to our tracks and give us some feedback via our Undercover email.

Our last public gig for 2008 is at The Bull Hotel, Crouch Street, Colchester which promises to be a very lively night. Hopefully we'll see some familiar faces but please arrive early as quite often the venue fills to capacity (on one occasion even we couldn't get back in LOL).

Undercover would like to thank everyone for supporting us during 2008 and wish all our "undies" and "undercrackers", promoters, publicans, organisers and helpers a Wonderful Christmas Time and best wishes for 2009. Perhaps we'll see a few of you in the new year at The Shark, Harlow on 17th January.
