Underwater City People are a band out of Los Angeles a.k.a UCP who mine the submerged netherworld of pop punk with an ambitiously articulate if slightly raggedy edge.
Belize City Boil Up is a new compilation profiled a bit further down...
first let's lay down the story about UCP...
They are currently on tour, being rerouted by hurricanes and rising gas prices, playing barns and UFO landing strips and taking it all in stride...
The trio finally head back towards home this week with 2 shows in SF, 1 in San Luis Obispo and a homecoming at the infamous Mr. T's Bowl in LA...
They are the real deal and i previously posted a link to a podcast profile of them from Buzzplay which is a worthy introduction. You can of course also check out their flashy
Underwater City People website
and here are some samples of tracks from their
new debut album :
You of All People
Here's the full length track Last Time
and here's some of the others
Shut Down
Down Here
Marlene on the Wall
Stupid Job
Another Bad Decision

in the interest of keeping it interesting for my friends from afar...:
how about some music from a new compilation delving into the burning beats from Belize ...
yes that hot sub-tropical lil' country on the carribean coast that used to be known as British Honduras back in the day. Well the cool folks at Chicago's Numero Group label have exhumed some cuts of funky late 60's & 70's disco shenanigans from way south of the border...
Gerald “Lord” Rhaburn - Disco Connection
Gerald "Lord" Rhaburn - Boogaloo A La Chuck
check more stuff like these out on Cult Cargo: Belize City Boil Up a spanking new compliation whose liner notes state :
“Because no country in the western hemisphere has managed to maintain such careful obscurity and avoid infamy like Belize, the chances of you ever hearing any of Belize's incredible and diverse musical output are within a few tiny fractions short of zero.”
----- meanwhile on the midwestern mp3 front ------
From Chicago, on the avant indie Cold Crush records, the crew known as Mahjongg, reinterpret & represent on the forefront of the white kid noise funk punk minimalist miasma.
from their first release
Mahjongg - Aluminum
and below a track from their newer 2005

Mahjongg - Hot Lava
last but not least:
try the latest 7 meg wonderama from another contender for title as Chicago's current electro disco kingpins...
000000000001 - DAVID BOWIE VS. PLASTIC ROBOT SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
that should suffice for now ... see ya later this week
