Uniform Motion: Life
I was thrilled almost immediately when I first heard Uniform Motion earlier this week. Technically a British band, Uniform Motion is based out of Toulouse, France, and poses a deep understanding of new media and how to integrate it with their art.
In June, 2008 Uniform Motion began posting video episodes of new songs and comic strips every two to three weeks. In December, 2008, they were asked to perform at Apple Expo and more opportunities followed in 2009.
In February, Uniform Motion is releasing Life in the Unites States, and I have to say that I’m hooked! Their song, Roll Over, from their new 2010 album, Life, will be a track on Rock Band, which should give them the needed boost and exposure.
Interestingly enough, the core of the duo is Andy Richards and Renaud Forestié, though Renaud doesn’t perform music. Instead, he produces the comic strips, videos, and realtime drawings during live shows.
“During our live performances, Renaud live-sketches using a video projector, while Andy builds up a soundscape with with his guitar, loopstation and voicebox resulting in a hypnotising audio-visual experience.”

Puddlegum began in 1997 as one of the first online music magazines. It is managed by Flick, and has gained respect from many in the recording industry.
Over the years Puddlegum has accomplished quite a few things we are proud of:
Being mentioned by Thom Yorke during a BBC Radio interview (concerning our Tens Theory), and being written about in Rolling Stone. We have also made the front page of TUAW, Digg, and VH1’s Best Week Ever, and have been featured on USA Today, and Reuters.
