    I think they're from Miami.
    	I LOVE their single, and they're on the top of my next-buy
    tape list. 
    	A really different sound.

    Holland?
    	I saw an interview with them on MTV, and they said Miami.
    The video also seems to be filmed in Miami.
    Also, the guys didn't have accents like they were from Holland.

    	I like the single as well.  Kinda reminded me of Fishbone, who BTW
    are working on their new release.
    
    	UDS skates, so they must be cool! 8^)

398.9Ik ben niet uit Holland!PLAYER::SUTHERLANDLike a 2 ton..umm..heavy thingFri Jan 18 1991 07:448
    I have never heard of them before, so I seriously doubt if they are
    from Holland.  Not unless they played in circuits that I don't know,
    which is unlikely.
    
    Do they have an album out or only a single?

    	I think the single is called "A Deeper Shade of Soul"... sounds like
    the same group.
    
    	I do believe they have an album out.

    Oh, ok...that's who you guys are talking about.  I've seen that vid a
    couple of times and didn't catch who it was.  Good tune, I liked it
    quite a bit.

398.15This is No Kid!!DPDMAI::THRELFALLfamous when you're deadFri Jan 18 1991 17:0217
    Hey!!  Sorry I havn't replied guys, but I've been busy in the Aerosmith
    & Jane's file.
    
    --They are not from the U.S.---that's all I know.
    ---Their debut album is called  "Mental Floss For The Globe"  and it's
    a thrashy/funky kinda thing!
    
    -----It's a must!!!  I admit thow, that upon first listening I didn't
    really get off on it that much, but now I have to have a "fix" daily.
    
    
    I wish I could make it to see their show, Boo Hoo.

    	Got "Mental Floss..." last night...
    
    	Listened to about half of it and I like it... nice 'n funky.   
    Favorite cut so far is still "Deeper Shade of Soul".
    
    	Not that this determines where the band is from but "MFFTG" was
    recorded in Brussels... it's also where one would write for band info.
    They sound American to me.

398.17I concur, maybe.PLAYER::SUTHERLANDskin is thin the heart shows thruWed Feb 06 1991 07:258
    
    I believe that Urban DAnce Squad do originate from out here somewhere! 
    There was an artical about them in a magazine I bought this week,
    haven't had the chance to read it yet (it is in Dutch), but I will have
    a look this weekend and let you know what it says!

    	RE: Brussels
    
    	Hey!!!!!!! ....maybe the dude who shakes his head throughout
    	the entire video is related to Milli... or Vanilli... (8
    
    	tigga~~~ who'd have to hear more than one cut before she buys it
398.19UDS, get it!BINKLY::MINARDIIt's the NEW style!Wed Feb 06 1991 12:3612
    
    	It's pretty loud and obnoxious rap/funk. I love it!!
    The whole album is bitchin, some sampling, great grooves,
    makes you wanna slam around your office. 
    	I definitely detect an accent on the singer, and the names
    of the band's writers are Dutch/whatever. I believe I stand corrected.
    Maybe the Spanish-looking guitarist is the only Miami resident.
    
    If you're looking for more light-hearted fare like their hit single,
    you may be disappointed, however.

398.20USOPS::GALLANTvaccinated w/a phonograph needle...Wed Feb 06 1991 12:5010
    
    	Loud and obnoxious rap/funk....
    
    	Like RHCP maybe or FNM??  I listened to Mother's Milk once 
    	or twice but just couldn't get "into" it (that was long
    	ago though) but on the other hand FNM is awesome me thinks...
    
    	help.

     I finally saw their video on MTV, if that is what the rest of their
    stuff is like I'm not impressed. It certainly didn't sound like HM to
    me. I did only hear the song once however,  maybe it one of those
    things that has to grow on you. I be on the lookout for another listen
    and see if it sounds any better to me.

    We could ask why we have a topic for UDS, but we'd only be shouted at
    by the people who like 'em...and then we'd get into the ago old
    argument of why do we have a topic for RHCP or even the Doors.
    
    8^)
    
398.28Still not impressed.RAVEN1::KROBINSONI'm just a media trained parasite.Mon Feb 11 1991 08:024
      I don't mind people writing about them. I was just stating my opinion
    like everybody else.

    	There was an article about UDS in the paper awhile back.  They're
    from Holland.  
    
    	They were supposed to be on The Tonight Show last week.  Anybody see
    them?
