Dark Side of the Uke

This Friday, July 6th The Tatamimats will be doing an encore performance of “Dark Side of the Uke”, their ukulele-only version of Pink Floyd’s classic album “Dark Side of the Moon”. The show takes place at The Knockout in San Francisco and is in celebration of The Knockout’s 2nd anniversary. The Knockout is in the venue that was previously Chicken John’s infamous Odeon Bar.

Check out the great videos of The Tatamimats doing Dark Side of the Uke.

The Tatamimats should do a show with Toledo’s Pink Polka. Now that would be an amazing combo.

The show was great, but I think “ukulele-only” was misleading. There was only 1. And a bass, and drums…

It was beyond awesome!

Also a correction to the last comment posted – there were actually 3 ukes onstage at all times…. one band member also used a RISA electric soprano uke. All the ukuleles were amplified and they used misc effects n’ stuff but that was cool because they reproduced the Dark Side album note for note…. The girl who sang ‘Great Gig’ was on fire and they’re encore of ‘Echoes’ – complete with a 2001 Space Odussey DVD synch was worth the price of admission alone!

I just hope they do this again sometime soon.

This show was phenomenal !!!

These guys weren’t messing around – I was impressed by the show. Straight thru the end it was non stop. They had a girl doing “Great Gig” who was so dead-on, the audience was in awe. Just awesome goys. What was the girl’s name? Anyone know??

The encore of “Echoes” was priceless and worth the short wait. The knockout is too small a venue for these guys though, they really need to bump up to bigger spots in the city and elsewhere.

I can’t wait for the next one these guys do.
