Music + Beer = Family = The UBC Music Squad

Robinson and UBC even let their bands use the box truck to haul gear, further reinforcing their employees’ lifestyles as musicians. Moss, the glass tech, says, “They let me borrow the van to load gear, to move all of our tons of equipment. There’s not another job that would let me do that.” Moss currently plays in INVDRS (whose latest album is sold out), and has played for Art of Kanly, Pictures Can Tell and Static Cult. Moss has been in the SLC music scene for 24 years, and though he has been with UBC for one, he “had been bugging Cindi for about probably five years before that,” he says, as his bandmate, Phil White, used to work for UBC, too.

 

A clear sense of kinship pervades UBC’s atmosphere—“We’re very family-oriented,” says Robinson. These folks help each other move, and they lend their shoulders to cry on. They talk through problems, and they “take care of each other—we rule as a team, we suck as a team,” she says. The positive feelings are mutual all around—Moss says of Robinson and her fun, energetic personality: “It’s always fun, especially, first thing in the morning, getting [her] ‘GOOD MORNING!’” In true familial camaraderie, Robinson even declares herself as the UBC mom and Plant Manager Dave Ruff as the dad. Given the music-filled environment of UBC, it seems that Robinson extends her way of being in love with Patterson to whomever else she comes in contact with: She says of her marriage with Patterson, “We met in music. We go to music, we talk about music, we listen to music—everything’s music.”

 

Robinson would call the UBC supergroup Chopper and the Reanimators. She says, “The UBC band would be the next step … They’ve been talking about it forever.”
