People of Poland...

Używam tej wiadomości przez google translate tak mi wybaczyć, to nie ma sensu. Dostaję bardzo dużo wniosków o "Pack Darmowe Naklejka" od osób z Polska. Robi się naprawdę drogie do utrzymania wysyłając wiele pakietów tam. Chciałem umieścić wypowiedzeniem, że wyślę naklejki dla Ciebie, ale to trochę potrwać. Robię listę nazwisk i adresów i wysyłać je, jak tylko mogę sobie pozwolić. To może trwać do 6 lub 7 tygodni, aby uzyskać swoje naklejki. Jeśli nie odpowiadam na e-mail nie wysyłać kolejne żądania, to po prostu myli mnie, a ja w końcu wysyłanie zbyt wielu naklejek. Otrzymasz bezpłatny pakiet naklejki! Dziękujemy za wsparcie i dziękujemy za cierpliwość.

Scott Brovan

Early this morning I heard an usettling rumor which left me in a state of denial.  I slowly traced the rumor back to various sources which lead to the surreal and shocking news that my long time friend and band mate Scott Brovan had been found dead in LA on Thursday morning.  Every time I called him today I fully expected him to pick up the phone and tell me a great story about an experience that started a rumor about his death.  Even as I type this part of me is hoping that he returns my call before I hit the "Save & Close" button.  I don't know the specifics of his death (he fell asleep, he didn't wake up) but it isn't as important to me as how he lived.   Scott was introduced to me by friend and uglyhead contributor Mack who met him at a party in Tacoma. I was super impressed with Scott's playing ability and timing and we quickly started working on music together.  We ended up sharing at least 7 years worth of the most memorable Uglyhead shows together and eventually became roommates for a couple of years.  Scott's love for music was unmatched and when uglyhead wasn't enough of an outlet for him he went on to support other bands like SMP, Betty X and Alalingua in addittion to Uglyhead.  He even did some time in a Cure cover band called Fascination Street.  One of my favorite memories of Scott (and there are many) is when he did an impromtu performance with a Jazz band following an Uglyhead set at the Bunkhouse in Las Vegas on tour.   Scott just loved to play and it was very evident that he lived for it.

In many ways Scott served as a big brother to me and when things went bad for me in Seattle he gave me a place to live for a while, bought me a train ticket to San Francisco and drove me to the Train Station.  I will never forget his kindness,  positive attitude and I think I have permanent hearing damage from his loud ass monster Triple Rectifier, Jazz Chorus stack (I am probably not the only one) so in a way he has physically affected me for the rest of my life.  If there is some sort of afterlife I hope our paths cross and we can play together again. Rest in loud filthy saturated guitar noise Scott Brovan.  Its been fucking amazing my friend.

Sticker Bribe

Here is the deal:
I need help raising awareness about the upcoming album The Garden.
Since you are on this site I can only assume you would like some free Uglyhead Merch.
If you post a link to either the amalgam promo video or the engorgement promo video on your facebook page and let me know I will send you a free vinyl sticker with The Garden Logo on it.  Since there are two videos I have two different stickers.

Post Amalgam you get a white sticker with a black logo.

Post Engorgement you get a black sticker with a white logo. Post them both and you get both stickers.

Use the Contact form to let me know which video you posted and I will send you a sticker.
It is that easy.  There is no way for me to know if you did or not so don't be a jerk and lie about it.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
