Polka Dot Dot Dot, Zoe Lewis, Victoria Vox & BAS: Saturday UkeTube

This week’s must-subscribe channel is spankyukes. As well as being incredible strummers themselves, they roped in Zoe Lewis. Other videos include high slapping fun from Polka Dot Dot Dot (who seem to be keen hamboners), Victoria Vox hooking up with Boulder Acoustic Society, Ingrid Michaelson, Mad Tea Party and plenty more.

Coqui Reca, Helen Arney: Saturday UkeTube

This week’s picks includes Argentine ukulele from Coqui Reca, Max the Ukulele Punk Rocker being his usual calm and restrained self in hospital, Craig Robertson playing with the lights on, Aaron Keim doing a suspiciously complicated “two chord” song, Dr Dre remixed and plenty more.

WIUO, Brandi Carlile, Hayley Sales: Saturday UkeTube

This week’s selection includes a new video from the Wellington International Ukulele Orchestra, Rocky and Balls want you to munch on their delicious, moist love cakes, Hayley Sales, Brandi Carlile the long awaited return of Exoticorn and plenty more.

The Leisure Society, Amelia Robinson, Rusty Cage – Saturday UkeTube

I very much enjoying Charlie Brooker’s new show GamesWipe this week. The highlight of the show was a ukulele-featuring song/game review by Rebecca Mayes. I do hope that’s a regular feature. Also this week are rib-tickling videos from Amelia Robinson and Ben Lerman (whose song is definitely NSFW), The Leisure Society, some hapa-haole a beautifully […]

Saturday UkeTube

Before we get down to business, two bits of news. 1) Jimmy from The Bobby McGee’s has recorded a jingle for the blog and here it is: Uke Hunt Theme Tune (MP3) Just don’t visit www.ukehunt.com. 2) If you visited the London Uke Fest and enjoyed it, vote for it in the UK Festival Awards. […]

Kalei Gamiao, Dithyrambe, Siri Nilsen: Saturday UkeTube

Most diverting act of the week has to be Dithyrambe who are a cross between Marie Antoinette, Maria Callas, The Tiger Lillies and The Re-Entrants. But the standout video this week is Kalei Gamiao with some incredible playing. Impressive enough to draw attention away from his Kim Jong Il outfit. Also this week is Cousin […]

Mini UkeTube

You take one week off and a whole bunch of much anticipated videos show up. So this isn’t a proper UkeTube, just a few videos from old favourites tackling various social issues including the long-awaited Rocky and Balls reunion, the long-awaited reunion of Agathe and Fine and the long-awaited union of Jen Kwok and every […]

UkeTube: Best of 2009 So Far

Since I’ve been busy battling Mafia goons, shooting rabid dogs and swimming round Venice in hotpants I haven’t been keeping up with new videos, so I thought I’d knock together a post of my favourite uke videos of the year so far. Feel free to chime in with you faves and call me an asshat […]

Lindi Ortega, The Hoosiers, Susie Asado: Saturday UkeTube

Dolly Parton voice + awesome shades + describes herself as a loner = huge new uke crush. Also this week: The Hoosiers use the uke to flog some Coke (or Pepsi, whichever), Japan’s two nuttiest ukers together, I kill Seeso’s chances in another contest and more.

Lancashire Hotpots, Yan Yalego, Spoke Ensemble: Saturday UkeTube

This week’s selection includes the Lancashire Hotpots decrying the emoization of youth, some fantastic off-kilter blues from Yan Yalego, Agathe and her buddies also doing their bit for the Lancashire dialect by dropping a few haitches, the Spoke Ensemble making a rather wonderful noise, George Stone doing a rocking tribute to the Small Faces, Gracie […]
