I had the extreme pleasure of catching the band UNI the other night and they are quite unlike anything else I've seen/heard recently. Maybe their description might help...
The course of history often seems wayward and chaotic. It’s the gum on the heel of your shoe that a homeless saint picks off and plops in his mouth to chew again.
Uni grows underneath your fingernails when you sit next to your parents in Church digging them into the soft flesh above your knee.
Uni dribbles from the mouths of sidewalk sleeping drunks and slithers into the throat of a politician to make him cough and loosen his tie.
Uni was there during your first masturbation and first confession.
Uni wakes you up in the middle of the night.
Parents of America. A new phenomenon has taken over our youth. Uni wages war on the apathy and digital narcissism of 1st world ignorance.
It is a cult of one, a cult of infinity.
Jack James is the voice, a slender boy from Texas with a penchant for dresses and Oscar Wilde, who came down from another planet to be the rock star of the future. David Strange is the sword, a gristled poet and carpenter who can build anything, writing sonnets and summoning demons on his guitar. Kemp is the brain, a crazed scientist who composes the prog riffs and surrealist visuals, leading the three into the great abyss.
After their set I bumped in to a respected music critic I know and said, "I'm not quite sure what decade I just witnessed." She responded, "All of them." That sounds just about right. I think a lot of you space cowboys and girls will dig them. I know I'm going to check them out again as soon as I can.
The one with the Hofner bass is Charlotte Kemp Muhl aka Kemp aka Kemp Muhl. She seems to be an interesting person in general. From what I gather she funds her musical projects with her very lucrative fashion model earnings and is the brain trust behind UNI. She also is the visual artist that has directed the band's videos. Kemp is also in the band, The Ghost of the Saber Tooth Tiger with her partner, Sean Lennon. I can assure you that she looks pretty "girlish." UNI has a rather androgynous feel to it so the confusion is part of the plan.

Cool beans.
That song "Love is all you need" on their site is a really good song, nice an ambient too, as her vocals are pined against the walls we can't reach.

Sean Lennon is a curator of shitty music. Good for him and that scene. Kudos for his consistent effort of helping others pay their bills.
