ANOTHER TOTALLY SEXY VIDEO OF UKEFINK ON THE 'ROCK THAT UKE' MYSPACE PAGE! GO GO GO!
CHANGED SOME SONGS ON THE JUKEBOX - can you name the instruments? What is that sound in Christmas Tear? And what is Jason playing on Guitar store (it's not a guitar!). Bonus points if you can name the instrument Steve is strumming on Rag and the Ether...and how many strings you hear.
Backyard video shot by the most amazing Ryan sometime last decade!
Thanks Ryan!
(1994 was a magic year - 'member? Everyone going crazy and freaking out. Nothing to do but learn to play the ukulele and then learn how to make it louder. Innocence can make some beautiful music. So can getting the shit beat out of you. Over ten years on and that's all we do.)Listen away and enjoy. Feel free to send stuff to: Sticks/Bricks. P.O.Box 3274, South Pasadena, CA, 91031. We love you. Please get well.
