Review/Comment
The screening of "Rock That Uke" will be accompanied by a live performance by Ukulele Loki's Gadabout Orchestra (from Denver)!
Director William Preston Robertson will be in attendance. Robertson has lent his voice to numerous Coen Brothers films and authored the definitive book on the Coen Brothers, "The Big Lebowski: The Making of a Coen Brothers Film!"
Come see the movie at 7 and hang around for Ukulele Loki's performance at 8 PM, OR come to see Ukulele Loki at 8 PM and stay for the second screening.
About Rock That Uke: A funky, curiously philosophical cinematic love poem that examines the near mystical allure of the four-stringed underdog of the musical world and the recent surge of alternative, post-punk musicians on the American mainland who have taken up the instrument, and have incorporated the ukulele not just into their raucous and irreverent original compositions, but into a counter cultural, post-punk ethos.
With introductory narration by Academy Award winner Holly Hunter. Featuring Carmaig de Forest, Songs From a Random House, Janet Klein, Ukefink, Robert Armstrong, Travis Harrelson, Oliver Brown (No Kill I: The Next Generation), Heinous Rynes, Uke Til U Puke, The Haoles, Williwaw, Frank Novicki, Robert Wheeler, King Kukulele, Pineapple Princess, The Rumble Pups, and Ian Whitcomb!
About Ukulele Loki's Gadabout Orchestra: A Denver based 6 piece chamber-pop band that features ukulele, tuba, trombone, clarinet, glockenspiel, drums, and synth. Adjectives that have been used to describe the band include: sepia-chord, indie-pan alley, and melancholy Brechtian carnival rock. The Gadabout Orchestra is a Denver favorite, having headlined many major venues and supported The Dresden Dolls, Chairlift, Devotchka, and many others. Bandleader Aaron "Loki" Johnson has also toured the country as a burlesque/cirque/sideshow MC. "Loki" Johnson has worked beside sword swallowers, a fire breathing Midget, and has emceed for Dita Von Teese, among others.
