Playing stripped down versions of huge rock songs isn’t a new idea, but it’s incredibly difficult to do well. I think these tracks are the best I’ve heard it done since Mark Kozelek’s AC/DC covers.
It seems Karinne is a bit of Renaissance Woman. As well as the ukeing, she’s an Avant Garde choreographer, playwright, film maker and other stuff you can read about here.
That was pretty cool. The trick with rock covers like that is to make it your own, which she undoubtedly did.
