MVOW makes a comeback! ALL the way back from the 80’s. Let’s hop aboard our Delorean via NatalieLin6’s cover of Disturbed “Land of confusion” The combination of her uke and green hair rocks our 80’s socks off. We’re tiptoeing through the nostalgia tulips with this awesome cover. Rock on.

THANK YOU!

You guys are all rock stars in our hearts. Like sweet tooth to candy, we heart you guys! Till the next Undies, keep making them amazing videos! Rock on homies.

This one was just too good for us to pass up for MVOW: new Forum member Bradlands teamed up with OG UU member keonepax to create an amazing rendition of “Never My Love” by the Association. Excellent everything. Harmonies, editing, song choice, execution, playing. Keep this one in mind for next year’s Undies!

Speaking of which, The 2009 Ukulele Underground Award Show (“The Undies!”) will be going down this Saturday (at 2pm Hawaii Time)! So tune in right here on the UU front page as we give away awards, random prizes to viewers, and lots and lots of uke love.

Stay classy, UUers!

Aloha,

This week on MVOW we have an awesome medley of song’s by one of the most influential figures in ukulele. B.Uke and D.Uke have made a medley of Jake Shimabukuro’s songs and mashed them up beautifully.

These types of arrangements aren’t easy, so to tackle something like this is quite a feat. We’re proud of the many accomplishments that are achieved everyday in our community. From getting down their first chord, to arranging their own music; You guys have been growing and we love seeing all the progress. Keep up all the awesome work.

Have a week everyone! Peace out.

Happy February UU’ers! It’s the start of a new month but I’m sure we’ll be up to the same antics as last month (if not more) This week on MVOW we have a cover of “Colorful” from the movie ROCKSTAR. AbeSchmidt rocks out this song with complete ukulele intensity and crazy vocals. Nice blend of both. Check out more of his stuff on his YouTube channel. A really talented fella that one, and he knows that he can be colorful.

Short month this month but we have a lot in store for you folks! Keep it locked in to UU for all things ukulele. We’re comin’ at ya! Peace out homeslices!

This week’s MVOW comes from the lovely ukulelezo and her original tune “The apartment song”

Such a lovely original piece. She makes all sorts of ukulele references from laminate and solid to musicguymic. AWESOME. Her voice is soothing and lovely as well and her choice of chords progressions have a really nice feel and groove to it. Ace job. Subscribe to her channel for more of her awesomeness.

ALSO LETS GIVE A NICE HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ONE OF OUR ADMINS RAYAN!!!
Happy birthday you ‘ol futty duddy.

Here’s to the start of another week! First month of the year is almost over! Time is going by really fast isn’t it? Right around the corner will be the flying car and jamming with people from all over the world will be a much easier task to do. Until then, play on and keep jammin to get yourselves ready for flying car jam time. Have an awesome week.

So there was this thread that was titled, “WARNING: This song will stay in head for weeks!” and we dared to view this video thinking, “Actually, I feel like watching a cover of I’m Yours” so we clicked on the video. To our surprise, there as no I’m yours, but there was an AMAZINGLY CATCHY tune covered by lisaxy424. This tune is called “The boy least likely to” by Every Goliath has its David. Mouth trumpet, awesome vocals, uke, and clapping hands galore!

So today we have an official Ukulele Underground MEET UP scheduled for Huntington Beach, California. We’re gonna be meeting up by the Pier where we all last met. The forecast says that it’s gonna rain but RAIN or SHINE, we are ON for this meet up.

Meet by the Auto parking pay machine by the pier at 12:30pm. If the weather is good then we’ll find a nice spot. If it’s raining then we’ll have a place to go, just look for a black Acura MDX. Follow along to the new meet up spot. If you have TWITTER, follow @Aldrine to get updates on this meet up.

We’ll see you there!

Jam on my ukulele brothers and sisters! Jam on…

This weeks MVOW comes from Proffesor Palmer and his most beautiful rendition of “Most beautiful girl in the room” from Flight of the conchords. Watch as he sensually strums that uke and softly touch and pick the strings. Sweet overdubs, harmony, and drums and bass. You’re a legend Palmer.

Voting for the undies is CLOSED. Thanks so much for tossing in your votes! Stay tuned for the Undie awards show to see who won. Also, if you haven’t already, please fill out a quick survey for us by clicking HERE. This information will help us serve you better.

A couple of the UU guys are flying out to California this week. Make sure to check out the shows and meetups if you’re in the area.

Let’s kick the doors open for this awesome new week ahead of us. Keep uke’n and jam like Publishers Clearing House is ringing your doorbell. Peace out homies.

Ahh yes, a new year. A new and fresh start. We’re gonna kick off season 3 of our MVOW with a video that includes a New Years Resolution and a positive vibe. This week we have our very own international man of moderation HaileISela and his cover of Jaime Cullum’s cover of Rhianna’s “Dont stop the music”

We are treated to some kick ass strumming patterns and serous skills with this video. Just like the title says, DONT STOP THE MUSIC. Keep jammin and keep it fresh; find people to jam with; TEACH someone the art of the ukulele. So many ways to keep the music going and spread the love. You guys have already done a wonderful job in doing all of these. Our FORUMS are always full of great stories and posts from you guys regarding these subjects and more…. WAY more. Check out our newly designed FORUMS and participate in all the awesome madness.

So don’t stop the music. Keep it locked in here at Ukulele Underground. We be jammin.

Why2ki is sick and missed a Beatles cover band show; so what does he do? Pick up the uke, play a Beatles tune, and have a cover concert of his own. The result? This week’s (and the last of 2009) MVOW with his rendition of “Nowhere man” by The Beatles. This kid is an optimistic fella who turned to his 4 stringed friend and transformed his room to his very own concert hall. Crazy? Yes, crazy AWESOME.

The year is coming to a close. Just a few more days and boxes of fireworks and it’s 2010. Time flies by so quickly doesn’t it? Seems like only yesterday we had our first UU Open mic, or uke give away, or UU Undies. None of which would have been possible if it wasn’t for ALL OF YOU! So thanks once again for everything. You guys are awesome possum (yes, possums are highly awesome… not just cause it rhymes) From all of us, to all of you; HAVE A SAFE AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Aloha UU’ers!

We’re gonna take a break this week from all the holiday video madness and bring you something JUST AS AWESOME as unwrapping your holiday gifts. This week we have Iernon playing TWO ukulele’s in his awesome rendition of “Dueling banjos” in this case, “Dueling ukulele’s” yep, it’s that old knee-slapping happy tune. He rocks out DUAL SCREEN style. Just. Awesome.

We hope you guys have a safe holiday this season! We love you all and wanna let you guys know that we really appreciate everything you’ve done for us this year. It’s been a little over 2 years and we watched our little community grow and it’s all thanks to YOU GUYS. You folks are the best presents EVAR. Complete with frilly ribbons and bows.

Much aloha to everyone who is a part of UU!
