Hailing from Portland, Oregon, the psychedelic pop quartet UHF formed in 1998. In 2000, the lads released the concept album LOTTERY which garnered national critical acclaim and nationwide college radio airplay. In 2002, UHF released IF IT WAS EASY. Produced by pop mastermind Gregg Williams (whose credits include Dandy Warhols and Sheryl Crow), IF IT WAS EASY earned critical acclaim, radio airplay and television sound bites. After extensive touring of the West Coast in 2003 and 2004, UHF is currently putting the finishing touches on their highly anticipated new record, set for release in Fall 2005.
