Friday April 4th
Ukulele Rejects
11pm: Stage 43 at Jimmy's, 43 E 7th Street, New York, NY. FREE
WARNING: This is not your grandfather's ukulele.
This second-annual Ukulele Rejects show celebrates all the "wrong" ways of playing ukulele. That means distorted, electric, detuned, loud, angry, political, incorrect joyous music, with costumes, clowns, wigs and smoke machines - our punk rock cabaret, celebrating the diversity of the New York uke scene.
Hosted by outlaw ukulele band Sonic Uke
"The Ukulele Rejects were backstage in a black room with a black picket fence and sticky black tables with a couple of ancient French fries stuck to them. It was hot -- the radiator was on full blast -- and smelled of a recent visit by the exterminator."
