Wellington - Drummer and/or percussionist wanted - Political Ukelele Rap

[HooolyCow]

Kia ora whānau,
We are a pair of intermediate 30 y/o musicians looking for drummers or percussionists to join our new ukulele band.
To start we're looking to get on the open mic circuit with 2 or 3 decent covers / waiata.
Then see what grows organically, with potential to explore jamming/originals.
Influences include Jon Butler, Jack Johnson, Jake Bugg, Rage against the Machine, Flight of the Concords.
We wanna be explicitly political / tongue in cheek so Nat voters or anyone suffering from a humour deficit need not apply
Please email me at liam.joseph.hunt@gmail.com
Cheers!
Liam

I specifically allowed your post so I could point out that political or discriminatory dialogue does not meet our board rules. What if someone who had no sense of humour rolled up, but played a mean bongo?

Good luck with the band.

Is this more about the politics of the ukulele as a cultural object of colonial dominance or about just shits and giggles?

To be fair, I'd forget about the politics and just put a "No accordian players need apply" blanket ban on it.

Ive got a washboard left over from my Skiffle phase ?

You sound a little politically biased, are you in favour of

a/ higher tax?
or
b/ lower pensions?

No political bias to that poll. Sorted.

Except those questions sound like they might actually be from a political party.

I was trying my best to be apolitical, the answers may be a little off center..

[vinylguy]

Skiffle as a Genre is definitely left of center. Ukeleles maybe not so much.

Skiffle and anarchy seem good partners

[vinylguy]

Have you read Billy Braggs book about Skiffle ?

[Litterick]

Ukuleles are bourgeois.

[GrantB]

Communist guitars look cool, but only work with communist (and possibly socialist) amps, due to the wonky pin-out (not joking).

[Kev77]

Billy bragg would socialist all over that

Ukuleles are bourgeois.

What about Samick ukuleles?
