In 2007 four particles merged to form a unit, using a fine paste consisting of pasta and cigarette ash to act as a bonding agent. Soon enough, things began to grow and mutate. Vocal chords developed and faint gurgling noises are believed to have followed. As time passed, legs appeared and a slow crawl out of the primordial soup began. Using its newfound locomotion, the creature proceeded to spread noises throughout its immediate surroundings (Lincoln, NE) and eventually grew to utilize tools (friend's mom's minivan) to venture into foreign environments as well. UUVVWWZ as we know it today had arisen. Once the critical nine-song mark was reached, a recording was produced to capture the feat for all of time and space. Experts drew comparisons to other well-known musical mutations such as Captain Beefheart, Deerhoof, Dog Faced Hermans, and Lydia Lunch. Attempts at categorization soon followed, for better (avant-rock and blues) or worse (power-jazz). One thing is certain, UUVVWWZ is a rare bird. (STREET DATE - 7/07/2009)
