I do some work for the Clapton magazine "Where's Eric!", and they were sent a demo and a press release as well as contact details in case we wanted to interview Justin and Kevin for the publication. If they can send stuff to an obscure publication like that (albeit one with a readership of several thousand) you can be sure they sent it to all the major music mags and newspapers. Sadly, it wasn't relevant for WE - so nothing is going to be published - much to my disappointment. I was all ready to volunteer to do the interview! Unfortunately you can't make people play the demo or publish articles, however many you send out. We found this out when we were doing the Otway hit campaign - we sent out hundreds of press releases and demos for that and only a small handful got published. So to people like us it may look like nothing is being done - but I'm sure there's a lot more going on behind the scenes than we think. On the other hand, I think it's incredible that they're not publicising the gigs on the website - after all if people don't know about them they won't go, and if no-one turns up in their home town of Glasgow, they're not going to do gigs elsewhere because they will think no-one's interested. And of course this means that UDS are never really going to get off the ground. Not sure bombarding Peter Noble with emails will do any good - but I don't know if anything else will :-( And does Justin even care? Jane ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Work From Home!

I was kind of hoping that they were indeed doing more then what it appears behind the scenes but that would not be to hard now really is it? I don't expect UDS to be on Top Of The Pops or MTV but surely there is more they can do to promote the band then just send out demos like every other campaign? Mr.T from this list offered to do there T-shirts but he heard nothing back? Why when there is a demand for them? Now none of us expect to see them on the front cover of Rolling Stone but there must be other ways in getting the word out? Maybe we should all get out our prittstick and glue?
