Hi folks, The Under is totally gassed and stoked to announce our first show in two years!

We’ll be at O’briens on Saturday October 29th for a Halloween themed event featring some fine heavy bands. Here are the deets:

Doors at 8pm $9 cover
…
9pm-The Under
10pm-18 Wheels of Justice
11pm-Wolfbane
12pm-Scourge

O’briens is at 3 Harvard Ave in beautiful midtown Allston.In the spirit of Halloween, some tunes from the ghosts of heavy metal past will be making an appearance in our set. Well, these “ghosts” are actually still around and jamming, but it sounds spookier that way and they do look really old.And because we don’t know how to stop writing, we’ll also be debuting two new songs with spooky titles (Insidious and The Fear).

We’re also gonna be giving away free copies of Mercurial and our self-titled EP, you know, so you can upload the tunes and use the CDs for skeet shooting (keep the covers though, they look nice).Please feel free to wear zany costumes (or just regular costumes).

We look forward to seeing all our friends for the return of The Under. It’s quite nice to be playing out again.

Hi folks, it has been a while. Please, help yourself to some free music below and like our Facebook page while you’re at it. In other news, the jamspace has been very noisy.

Hi folks,
Dan Costa here to present you with my brand spanking new artist page on Facebook. The tunes featured here are some ditties I recorded with a few friends earlier this year. These tunes were originally penned for The Under, but the band broke up before we really had a chance to work on them. You don’t have to be a facebook member to check out the songs.

To check out the tunes, click here and find the Music Player app player down on the left hand side of the page. You can also download these tracks by hitting the tracks tab and opening the Soundcloud file there. Please feel free to share these tracks with anyone you think might dig them. And I encourage you to leave comments on the page if the desire grips you. Feel free to friend me on Facebook here.
 
Keep your eyes and ears open for some other stuff I did with these guys as well as any other surprises that might float your way. I’m always on the lookout for new collaborators (especially drummers). So, feel free to point any daring musicians in my direction. Finally, I’d like to thank John Tyler (drums) and Sean Winbourne (bass and producer) for all their help and contributions. As you can hear on these tracks, these guys sure know what they’re doing.Enjoy!

Hi folks. Dan here to give you a little update on The Under.

Well, the search for a rhythm section continues. There was a fully functioning band for a few months, but New York City beckoned one of the guys, and thus, the search began anew. However, I am happy to report that a few songs were written and jammed during that short stint and I am in the midst of finalizing recordings of those tunes with this fine gentleman, who records very nicely and has done music such as this.

So, be on the lookout for that stuff which will be featured for download at out myspace and here on our website. In the meantime, for those have yet to include our previous recordings in their music catalogs, you can find said recordings here, and for those with iTunes, here.

I’m also happy to report that jams continue to go on with potential replacements and when it’s all up and running, that exciting news will break right here. However, if you just have to be one of the first people to know, drop a request in our comment box to be added to the maling list.

It’s been a while folks but I’m here to tell you that Jason (bass) and Randy (drums) have decided to take an extended break from making music. It was a very mutual parting as the guys just had too many other commitments to keep the music happening. I do want to say on my part that I have had nothing short of a total blast playing with these guys the last 3 years. I hope that they get back to rocking out as these dudes are some truly gifted musicians, not to mention really great guys. I’m a much better musician now than I was before I met them and I’ll miss playing with them lots.Now, it’s kinda hard to figure out just what to say about the future of a band that  has only one member. Right now all I can say is that I’ve been jamming with folks and getting good vibes. So,while I survey potential victims, consider The Under on a little bit of a hiatus. The early returns have been promising, so I’m confident the machine will be back up and running soon enough. It just might hum a little different is all. I’ll be sure to keep you posted on any other developments.Thanks to everyone who has been supporting the band the last few years by coming out to shows and buying our music. You guys are pretty alright.
