FALLOUT:

UKLA appeared in the 18th annual WBCN Rock and Roll Rumble


RE: "Noel Mayoro"/"Audience" 7":

"Something other than power-pop from a Boston band? How outlandish. And how difficult to build a live show around. But, anyway, UKLA's hodgepodge of blues, jazz, lounge, pop, rock, and New Wave is certainly refreshing.
The slow build of "Noel Mayoro" is reminiscent of the blues until the bass line explodes into jazz-infued bedlam that would make Les Claypool proud. For the remainder of the song, the lyrics aren't what matters; it's the rapid-fire tempo changes that are exciting.

RE: "SPACESHIPS/OLÉ" 7":

"When you are in a three piece band, you have got to make sure nobody slips, and in this case UKLA has dried up the floors and made sure everyone is wearing super glue on their shoes."

"'Spaceships' is a wild cosmic thing that is relentless and wild."

RE: "W-O / TJS 510" Split 7" with Bald Guys

"UKLA'S sound is...coming across as a cool hybrid of the Minutemen if they performed on the Muppet Show"

The Noise #151 June '95

"A kind of new version of the music used in the movie 'The Three Stooges in Orbit'...Aggressive and steady."

RE: "Old / Teenage Boardroom"

"...Lively percolating percussion-driven rock taken at a pace little short of frenzied...a critic's dream. 'Teenage boardroom' song of the month for March."

The Noise #137 March '94

"...Im not sure if it's the guitar or the bass - one of them fell down the stairs and played upsidedown"

New England Performer #4 April '94
