Look no further than Ultimate Fakebook for “Nothin’ But a Good Time.”

The amiable Kansas trio has just released its new album, “Open Up and Say Awesome,” on Initial Records.

“The rock factor has been turned up a little bit. It’s still really catchy and poppy, but it’s got more of a rocky edge,” said Bill McShane, guitarist and vocalist.

McShane, speaking from San Francisco, said the tongue-in-cheek title isn’t meant to be taken seriously.

“It was basically kind of like a joke title when it was first brought up – like most things are,” McShane said. “We came up with all these other ones, and it kind of kept coming back around to that one, because at least everyone will laugh.”

Metal horns litter the air above the crowd at UFB’s high-energy shows. The distortion-drenched sing-a-longs saturate the crowd while McShane puts off the rock-star air with his high leg kicks and magnified guitar poses.

“[The album title] captures the `not taking ourselves too seriously’ vibe, and sort of the arena-rock atmosphere that we have going on,” McShane said.

This arena-rock metal meets rock ‘n’ roll persona is perpetuated by the album title, a tribute to the days of Poison’s “Open Up and Say.Ahh” – a stretch from which UFB drew many musical influences.

“I look at it as looking back on that time period and going `Yeah, fucking A. You remember `Open Up and Say.Ahh?’ ‘ `Oh, you mean open up and say awesome?'” McShane said.

One snippet on the album seems to encompass the entire nature of UFB and the idea of “contagious dreamin.’ “

“Goddam Dance Craze,” a dynamic tune McShane calls “the UFB credo,” is an obvious answer to perpetual touring.

“I feel like the Beatles rollin’ into town/ So hungry that I’m still not fazed that you’re not screamin.’ “

“That line is like, `We’re going to go get on stage and act like we’re huge and just have,’ ” McShane said. “It’s kind of like our attitude.”

UFB has traversed the United States, bringing its rock revival – a mix of Weezer, Cheap Trick and the Replacements – to the masses. Whether playing to 50 or 500 people, UFB is starving for action.

“We’re hungry; we don’t care if the world will feed you rock,” McShane said.

Besides, UFB isn’t impressed by the corporate rock spoon-fed to the MTV generation.

“It sucks really, that’s the only word for it,” McShane said. “I mean the quality is just so horrible.”

But McShane is confident there is a solution to the perceived death of rock ‘n’ roll; it just requires a little digging on the part of the fans.

“On the underground or indie level I think that it’s totally thriving,” McShane said.

“It’s just that all the good bands not everybody knows about. So, hopefully that will change and people will start finding out about a lot of the great rock ‘n’ roll bands that exist still,” McShane said.

Your momma may not dance, and your daddy might not rock ‘n’ roll, but UFB will.

“We’re completely planning on rocking until we can rock no more,” McShane said.
