BAD UOK

Bad Uok was born in the summer of 2010. It is a bassless quartet featuring Federico Pierantoni on trombone, Andrea Calì on the piano and Fender Rhodes, Andrea Grillini on drums and Leonardo Rizzi on guitars. It released it’s first album ”Enter” for Auand Records in January 2013. It has been performing aroud 40 concerts in Italy including performances on national and local radios. In july 2013 it has won the third price at the ”Festival Nazionale dei Conservatori”. There are a few ideas that creates the sound of the band: -The basslessness gives room for unorthodox ways of playing. It also provides an ease to go in more open directions. -The tunes are composed individually, but the arrangement is made during rehearsals collectively, and after it has been played for sometimes, gets completely modified. This gives new life to the tunes. The band is now working on the harmonic field, after having focused mostly on rhythmical research. from read more...
