New videos from the Corner Laughers, GUGUG, The Sweet Hollywiians’ Tomotaka Matsui on lap steel ukulele and plenty more.

I try not to feature two videos from the same act in a week, so I’m fudging it by having one video from Rocky and Balls and one from just Rocky or Balls (I give it about 3 weeks until they’re on Boing Boing). Along side them are plenty of old friends (including GUGUG, Jake […]

This favourite new find of the week is The Half Sisters who make up for a load of girly jaw-flapping and squeeing with a couple of great songs and plenty of Peggy Sue style shounting (shouting + counting = shounting). And, of course, there’s love in the air for Ukulele Ike’s dogs and Ukulelezo’s insect […]

Hi! My name is Al and this is my entry into the Frunky McNorman World Bring The Mmmbop Blog Posts About 80s Ukulele Videos Ukulele Video Contest.

Another girl whose uke is out of tune but her soul is very much in tune: Wisdom Tooth. And she’s gone above and beyond to entertain by gluing her feet to the wall and singing sideways. Also this week is Ken Middleton being inspired by Kandinsky, Minor Constellations covering Kanye, Amber Nash’s new duo Shiny […]

No Bosko […]

Two versions of MMMBop this week (thanks to the Ukulele Underground thread). But they’ve both found a creative and new way to play it. Also this week is Ian Emmerson of the Re-Entrants‘ epic version of Bat Out of Hell. Usually I wouldn’t include a video where the uke is painfully out of tune, but […]

Man, there are a lot of ukulele videos being uploaded. It seems like the rate their being added goes up every week. Which makes the choice of Ukulele Video of the Year even harder than it was last year (when Sweetafton came out on top). Luckily, it’s not down to me. For the first stage, […]

Part two of the UkeTube includes videos from Bosco and Honey, Ken Middleton and another killer song from Sarah Kinlaw. You can find part 1 here.

With all the videos built up over my break, I couldn’t put them all in one post without breaking the internet. So this first part includes hilarity courtesy of Taylor Mac, Paulina Sinaga and Jen Kwok’s parody of Britney Spears’s Circus; along with top notch songs from tUnE-YaRdS and Emily Wells (why have I not […]
