Artists Biography / History / Notes:
NB: Do NOT use apostrophes (') in the following as this will cause problems later
Originally a duo with an unhealthy desire to emulate the incredible string band, UBS quickly evolved into a collective and laid the groundwork for the deserted village label and events. Since their formation in winter 2001 they have played and recorded with increasing regularity - never settling on one recording method, never settling on one line-up. The forthcoming album "the sorrowful mysteries of..."shows a love of the unadorned beauty of Shirley Collins, Anne Briggs and Vashti Bunyan as well as the work of current 93, coil and sol invictus. Sparse folk sidles up to a more melodic take on free improv and tales of loss and pagan longing abound. If they could exist anywhere, they would be playing in the Green Man when Sergeant Howie arrives. Live shows in Dublin, Galway, Ballymahon and sunday morning wake up slot at the M?r Festival have seen them write songs on the spot in any genre the audience requests, wildly improvise with up to twelve members or play straight trad as a trio. Their philosophy is that all paths are equal, all approaches relevant. Members have often met on stage for the first time. Standard rock instrumentation is bolstered with theremins, accordions, fretless banjos, bugles... whatever comes to hand... The Bible Students will be reinventing themselves again when they Play with American Free Folk Duo Black Forest/Black Sea in Doyles on Wednesday March 31. The first UBS album, "Stations of the Sun Transits of the Moon", is a collection of short melodic improvisations veering from plaintive celtic melodies to more psychadelic folkforms is available from desertedvillage.com and FreeBird records, Dublin. The Sorrowful Mysteries of United Bible Studies will appear on deadslackstring records with more to appear in the future. United Bible Studies are protected by the ejaculation of serpents.
