He’s Baaaaack (and better than ever)!!!

That’s right ladies!  Our sexy guitar god is back in residence with Urban Fiction and living the good life in the Bay Area again.

Didier, Jenn and Denise 'D Dog at the beach on Denise's birthday

We’re hard at work now pulling together a tasty rhythm section for your listening pleasure and then we’ll be hitting the clubs again.  We’ll be playing our originals from the first CD, the upcoming CD, Excavation and the rocking guitar god classics we all know and love.

Oh and if you just can’t wait for the rock, Didier is a guest musician with Ramana Vieira on February 13 at the Gallo Center in Modesto at 8pm. Tickets are $25-$45. Make the drive for Ramana’s lovely, honey toned, Portuguese Fado and Didier’s, melt your heart, guitar.

Stay tuned!

Loosing A Hero

I just learned that our “server dude”, Rob Stewart-Douglas, passed away recently. Rob has taken care of Vettanna’s servers for at least 10 years and Urban Fiction’s server for the last 2 years.  He’s always there to answer a question or do what it takes to support us or our clients (no matter where in the world he is!).  So, when he didn’t return my calls or emails, I thought it very odd.  This wasn’t the answer I was expecting. I wanted to hear that he was on some new adventure in yet another foreign land. I wanted to hear he’d been hanging out with his son.  No one expects a vital, 38 year old man to, well…leave.

You’ll forgive us if our site has hiccups in the coming weeks as we transition the tasks that Rob handled so seamlessly and invisibly. The main site will be down while we work things out, but there’s plenty here for you to enjoy.

Rob, you are well missed.

CD and Party Update!

Yeah, the CDs will be here in October!!  You can already order them from our page.

Jenn in MN

So, we’re thinking about throwing a masquerade party for the CD release, stay tuned for more info. heheh, sounds like fun already!  We may even get Didier to come down for it.

Oh, talk about great genes.  Here’s Jenn with my Aunt Carrie on her 100th birthday and Aunt Frances in Jackson MN.  They’re still spunky and act like they’re 25…so that explains a lot, I think.

Finally, I had the opportunity to film a little web commercial for UF.  Check it out (and learn to count) better yet, check out the out-takes!  Mucho thanks to the beautiful Celestine Star from Golden Star Productions.

That’s the scoop for now, more to come sooooon.

ISO – Rock Guitar God in Bay Area

If you’ve been keeping current with the blogs, you know that our amazing Francois Didier Bouvet moved to Portland to pursue fame and fortune in the great Northwest. So, it actually leaves us both bandless for awhile.

I’m in search of a local guitar god to fill Didier’s sizable shoes so we can play out again.

Frankenstein Boots

In the meantime, Didier and I are learning the ins and outs of writing songs together over the internet. See the next post for those details.

We will all miss his sweet self and wish him the best of everything as he puts down roots in a moisture rich climate!

TTFN,

Jenn

We’re Back!

Although it may appear to the casual observer that we disappeared, we’ve been quite busy working on some new originals.

While we’re working this out and looking for a new drummer, the amazing Francois Didier Bouvet is sitting in with us for awhile. What a treat!
Sign up for our mailing list or to be our Facebook or our MySpace friend or email us with your contact info and we’ll make sure that you hear about gigs, rumors and facts from Urban Fiction.
TTFN,

Jenn
