the unworld - live at the bayou, d.c. 1993
Historical and very rare footage of the Unworld live at the Bayou, Washington, D.C., U.S.A. This is January 29, 1993 when the band was first beginning to tour in support of the "Playhouse" demos. Most of the sold out crowd was there to see Too Much Joy and had never heard of us. After just a couple of songs, they were on our side and really supporting us, so I was extremely grateful and relieved. What an awesome experience! -stu judd 12/31/10

the unworld - freak
1992 - 1993, we collaborated on some songs (every single one a masterpiece! LOL! - no, really!) at our home and headquarters on Artic Avenue in Aspen Hill, Rockville, MD. Excited at the prospects for the Unworld, we found a basement studio in an old Victorian row house in snow covered Adam's Morgan, D.C. and recorded the whole thing in two days. With, at times, god aweful vocals and Very sloppily engineered, we needed a demo/proof of concept and the engineer needed to get out of town, so "freak" was born. Just about everything was one take, boom, done, next, gotta go now. The lesson here, kids, however, is that the production value didn't matter, we were studious, confident, constantly working, and kicked major ass live, so we quickly signed with Cellar Door Productions (thanks Chris Tanner!) for bookings! Oh yeah, and a GREAT album cover (not shown) goes a long way too!!! LOL! We traded a few for gas money, gave a few away, and send a few away in the mail to the local rags...
Played some great shows in 1993, including those at the Bayou in D.C. with MTV artist, Too Much Joy and others. There exists one amatuer concert video from the Bayou I'd proabably consider the best "record" of the unworld from that time. Shit happened, and the unworld was no more. I got a call in August or September, '93 after the split and it was Gary saying that one of the stations (HFS?) was playing a couple of songs at lunchtime! Awesome, but the band was no more. I seem to recall Niecy? (sp?) from 98 rock in B'more had a fondness for the unworld as well. I also seem to recall that we received an honorable mention by the Washington Area Music Association (WAMA) for something to do with my brilliant marketing idea: enclose a refrigerator magnet with the unworld's contact info. inside every cassette. Brilliant! 'Cept by the time the tape reached it's destination (the clubs, promoters, media, etc.), most of what had been recorded on the tape was gone or heavily distorted! ("Best Music We Never Got to Hear") LOL! I think one review said something like, "I think I really like this! I wish I could hear it..." LOL! i died a little when the unworld was over...
I loved Pete's passion for life and music, but especially loved his stage wardrobe, from Beatle's Nero to Dracula's cape to just no shirt and a few stands of Christmas lights wrapped around his torso!
Created an awesome hum in the amps onstage! LOL!
Gary "the flash" was sittin' next to you one minute and you'd turn around and he'd be 2 miles away the next! With a great passion as well and incredible work ethic, G-man never gave those drums a break!
Thanks to Pete and Gary for your hard work, dedication, and brotherhood! I love you as human beings and I will forever look at our time in the unworld with great fondness! AND, who the hell knows, maybe we'll get another crack at it some day!
So, here it is for the first time in 17 soul-less years, unearthed from the deepest, darkest corner of the great stu judd vault (where NO SANE MAN WOULD EVER VENTURE!!!) for the purpose of peace, love, and understanding in the 21st century!!! LOL!

kickin' rocks - f*&kin' peddler
1997 - 1999? Kickin' Rocks: stu judd - guitar, vocals; gary blumberg - drums; ryan ? - first guitar; chris ? - bass guitar...
...me n the g-man re-united about three or four years after the unworld and started kickin' around the idea of playin' in an original, alt rock band again...
we had some ideas, so we started trying to recruit some dudes to play and we came upon this freakin whiz kid of a freakin guitar player named Ryan. He was from somewhere, but lived in Ballston, Va. and rode the metro train up to my house every weekend for practice! Sheez, G-man commuted down from Philly!
anyway, these songs are '90's garage/basement band HEAVEN - (a garage on MARS, LOL!)!!!
engineer, on this particular day, was out to lunch a little bit with the delay, but some of the takes were AWESOME, aside from the fact that much of the vocals are SHI-ITE! The thing is, many of the songs were never quite played (or possibly sung) the same way twice. We were still somewhat smack in the middle of the preverbial "process" when the project was abruptly abandoned (who the Hell remembers?)...
one thing i remember for certain, it was hard as hell to sing over these dudes (myself included! lol!) as we played LOUD AS ALL 'EFF WORD and always in the most confined of spaces!!! Shit was always feedin' back left and right! lOL! WE TOTALLY ROCCCCKKKKKEEEDDDD!!!! lol!
But, DOG! I Loved thesE SONGS! AND THIS BAND!...;
