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.
