British Hard Rock band, 1970-present. Uriah Heep's trademark combination of David Byron's theatrical lead vocals, Ken Hensley's fantasy-oriented lyrics and swirling Hammond organ, Mick Box's wah-wah guitar, Gary Thain and Lee Kerslake's powerhouse rhythm section, and five-part harmony backing vocals brought their "classic" lineup considerable success in the early 1970s; although never a superstar-level band in the US, they retain a significant following to this day worldwide, especially in Germany, Russia, The Netherlands, and Japan. The current (1985-present) lineup (Mick Box, Lee Kerslake, Trevor Bolder, Bernie Shaw and Phil Lanzon) maintain an active touring schedule, and released several albums during the 1990s, the most recent being 1998's "Sonic Origami"; a new studio effort has been promised for some time.
Essential Albums: Salisbury (1971), Look At Yourself (1971), Demons And Wizards (1972), The Magician's Birthday (1972), Sweet Freedom (1973), Firefly (1977), Sea Of Light (1995), Sonic Origami (1998), Acoustically Driven (2000)

Get the Uriah mug.Ukiah is a town of ~15,000 located 120 miles north of San Francisco in a crossroads of the wine country and redwoods. The seat of Mendocino County, it sits as one of the few towns in what is a lush agricultural area.
Ukiah is also an epicenter of progressive politics--well known for its decriminalization of marijuana and the ban of genetically modified organisms. However, there is also a significant conservative population as well.
While Ukiah has been blessed with beauty, with the closure of several logging and industrial company, jobs are often hard to find. At the same time, the wide appeal of Ukiah's small-town charm and the slow but stead sprawl of the Bay Area has made housing prices high for an area of its size and isolation.
Ukiah and nearby Hopland and Mendocino have a great deal to see, and Ukiah's festiveness make it a great place to live--if you don't mind a pay cut and leaving the conveniences of the city behind.

Get the Ukiah mug.Uswah is a lot of things at once, she’s the person who always shows up for others, the one who treats everyone with the kindness they deserve and most importantly the one girl who will always be there for you time after time. Uswah is very caring so she tends to pursue an involved career like nursing. Her gentle soul isn’t limited to humans only, she tends to be very fond of cats too. Probably has a kitten named Miko. Uswah may be a tad bit crazy sometimes but she’ll always show up as the best version of herself time and time again. Effortlessly intelligent and drop dead gorgeous, when you meet an uswah that’s when you know you’ve made it. Brace yourself though, knowing her is a roller coaster because girlie is a bit of a mess sometimes so good luck with that. She cries frequently but she’ll tell you it’s because she’s a cancer 👀 also she’s convinced that she can sing, which is debatable
Wow she really thinks she can sing, she’s probably an Uswah.
I can’t believe someone can be so lOvEaBle, what an uswah.
