Uthanda is an alternative rock band with slight connections to Blonde Vinyl at best. There are a few rumors out there that state they were signed to Blonde Vinyl, but it is not known if they ever recorded anything. The one known Blonde Vinyl connection is that the original guitar player was Larry Worley (cousin to Bob), who went on to form Love Life. They released two albums on other labels while Blonde Vinyl was in existence, and then called it a day.
Recently, an official Uthanda MySpace page has been set up with a little more information about the band. Band leader Robert Beeson went on to start Essential Records, best known for discovering Jars of Clay.
