Heather and Sherri met in Athens, GA, and hit it off immediately.  A love of music and nonsensical humor solidified the start of their first band, UDDER. 

​

Heather comes from a long line of percussionists. Her father, brother and both sons are all drummers. Her oldest son, Brody Taylor Smith, is the drummer for the metalcore band Invent Animate. 

​

After UDDER's original breakup in '92, Sherri played in several bands in Athens, GA, including Hall of Fame (with drummer, Joe Rowe from The Glands and Jeff Matthews from JackoNuts). Dr. Cup (with Stephen Tanner from Harvey Milk and Andres Solar from Daisy) and Sweet Rooster (with Kim Rowe from Ray Ugly and Chief Ruiz from Space Cookie.)

​

UDDER briefly reunited in 2025 to release a 3 song EP and play shows.  During their reunion, they released an EP of three songs, with much acclaim from VICE magazine, and Maximum Rock n Roll among others.  

 

UDDER disbanded in 2026 and are currently auditioning guitarists for their new project, IMPERIAL FRIEND.
