Lucky Uke
While searching for ukulele players for yesterday's post, I came upon the band Lucky Uke. They are from Montreal, and they play ukuleles as if they were guitars. The result is very different from most ukulele music.
They're not known for performing naked, but for some reason, in their music video of "Cum On Feel the Noize," they're all performing without a stitch, although they're careful to conceal frontal views.
Two of them are just strumming, the usual way to play the instrument, but near the end of the video, the lead player does the fanciest finger work that I've ever seen on a ukulele.
I shortened the video by extracting some clips and merging them, but you can see the complete 4 minute video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gx5wrm6Hck4, including a self-mocking ending where one of them is hitchhiking naked at the side of the road.

How fun! And, that's the first time I've heard ukes that I actually enjoyed.
Amazing!
Sounds like fun
