This four-piece -as yet unsigned- band performed on SIX stages at Glastonbury in 2008, as well as playing numerous campfire acoustic sets.
SAT 19th July BONKERSFEST- UNITY & DEVISION headlined at The RED STAR on Camberwell Green, playing to a sweaty and appreciative audience, rounding off the live music.
U&D played at STOKEFEST on the 8th June 2008, as well as hosting a local musical event in Deptford, in "honour" of the Queen's Official Birthday.
SAT 14th June- 2008 UNiTY & DEViSiON +ASTRAL SLAP +JAM 8pm-1am @Deptford Arms, 52 Deptford High Street, SE8 4RT
UNiTY, the spunky front-woman of U&D hosted a hard-hitting evening of ska/rock/folk and psychedelic weirdness, 'celebrating' the Queen's Official Birthday with musical madness, bunting and cucumber sandwiches- crusts cut orf, with bread pudding for "afters"!
U&D recently worked with MIND in Wales, who have produced a documentary recounting people's positive experiences of mental health and dealing with its challenges.
we are uniting & devising a plan to bring you new songs and videos
U&D are sizzling through Summer 2008, with new songs and even more in-your-face hooks n lyrics. We've even reinstated the popular onstage costume changes again...
Jason Rivers joined us in February to play bass. He played bass with AMP on the European leg of their tour in 2007. He's really fitting in well and we're looking forward to the roller-coaster mad ride that is U&D. We don't know where this swirling ride will take us; we've been all over the place already!
We will keep you updated on all the twists and funny turns. Rivers' first foray into providing the kickass low-end frequencies to our music was at the Bedford Arms on 24th Feb 2008- cracking first gig- punters thought we'd all been playing together for years.
U&D had a busy year in 2007, playing at many festivals over the summer, one of the highlights being the BIG GREEN GATHERING, where U&D played seven gigs in five days. The gig at BONKERSFEST was a blast too, as well live interviews and perfomances on-air including the BBC.
Check out the rave OVERPLAY review of UNiTY & DEViSiON's demo
Following a monumental performance at the Liberty Festival in Trafalgar Square, Unity & Devision were highly praised by the BBC for their track, SUGAR.
UNiTY & DEViSiON have been interviewed and played live on several radio stations, including BBC Somerset, live from the Big Green Gathering in 2007, and a lively hour-long interview with the infamous TOMMY BOYD. He challenged U&D to write a song in under sixty minutes, which they performed live on BBC SOUTHERN COUNTIES.
Look out for more online and on-air shenanigans!!!
cute.dangerous. mischief in music.
