UWEB (1988-1992)
UWEB was "Uncle Willie's Eyeball Buddies," the official fan club for the Eyeballed Ones.
Unlike most band fan clubs UWEB actively produced and released CDs of music by the band, most of it available only through the club.
Uncle Willie released material to club members that no-one else ever saw. The Residents even recorded tracks specially for UWEB releases. The club released a quarterly newsletter which announced the latest Residential goings-on, explored the technology behind the music, and generally examined the Residential world.
