2007 - BREAKING NEWS! Dr. FU has decided to hang it up after
7 years. That's right, we're calling it quits. And
not a moment too soon, either.

Day. Do you really think we would do that to you, o' faithful FU
Army? Do you? For shame. And here's something we WISH was fake: high-school
senior pictures of the
ENTIRE band
in
the all-new APRIL
FU Letter. Who else loves Eben's tie and the 80's mullets of
Rob, Chris and Greg G? Rawk!
25 March,
2007 - Mission: Accomplished. We invaded Sweetheart's and took it
over. As was once heard at a FU show many years ago..."in the end,
Dr. FU always wins." That's what I'm talkin' about. Next stop on
the 2007 FU world tour: Clarendon, VA. You can't keep us out of that
town, no matter what you try. See you at Ri-Ra in a few weeks!
18 March,
2007 - Happy St. Patrick's day to all ye lads and lasses. As Eben
would say, "raise 'em UP!" If I didn't get our Auld Shebeen
photos online, Greg G would have killed
me,
so here you are. Check
out the new FU Chalice, and be sure to come out and see what it can
do in person. Enjoy.
11 March, 2007 - Better late than never, the March
FU Letter is up. Also, thanks to everyone who came out to the Auld Shebeen

we've added some new songs, too.

right, FU now goes "all man" with our new singer, Eben
Nye. Eben is a total
pro, he has a music degree, has toured before, and he defeated
Rob "mano a mano" in the Octagon. Bottom line: this
guy can sing it all and we are psyched to add him to the FU family.
Eben is flying though our material, and will be ready to hit
the
stage at Auld Shebeen on Jan. 19. FU Mark II is a must-see! Here
