Bio:

GO DIRECTLY TO WWW.UNCLEDOODAD.COM.........THERE'S NOT MUCH HERE ON MYSPACE. WE'VE GOT TONS OF RECORDINGS ALL STREAMING FOR FREE AT WWW.UNCLEDOODAD.COM. **************************************************************** Uncle DooDad is an original rock trio based in Seattle, WA. Their diverse musical influences and backgrounds have resulted in creations that range from lap steel and slide to rockers, ballads and bluegrass. Craig uses a wide variety of instruments and equipment to create the unique tones you hear through his playing. **************************************************************** **************************************************************** JANUARY 1, 2010 - Uncle DooDad launches thier own record label, Knick Knack Records! Following several failed courtships by indie labels Uncle DooDad has decided to launch thier own record label. After weighing all of the options before them the band has assembled a team of marketers, promoters, web developers and investors to launch a label that is focused purely on promoting and distributing the music of Uncle DooDad. "The current state of the music industry is like the wild west" says bass player, Joe. "We can make it into whatever we want. Nobody in the industry has figured out what the proper business model should be at this point". The band is at the point where they are writing, recording, producing, marketing, promoting, and selling thier own music and so it was a natural conclusion that the band is performing all of the basic functions of a record label. Thus Knick Knack Records LLC was born. Joe had been working for several successful indie record labels on the west coast over the years and Craig has been working hard at building a studio that is suitable for the huge volume of material that is being produced. At the same time the band has been very busy with an active live performance schedule in 2009.

More music being updated regularly so check back often. **************************************************************** December, 2009 For the second time in one year Uncle DooDad was selected by Alex Cosper of Playlist Research and 1995 Billboard Magazine broadcaster of the year, for his roster of bands whose songs are "more artistic than anything on mainstream radio in 2009 and at the same time sound like a better choice for radio that potentially would help attract more listenership, as determined by successful radio professionals". Link to his site here: http://www.playlistresearch.com/ http://www.playlistresearch.com/2000s/2009.htm The first time Uncle DooDad was selected was in February for the song 'Play Me Something', and the second time was for the song 'Funny Floating Feeling' in December, 2009. **************************************************************** The music is all for sale.
