WASTE OF ACES: BAND BIO When three musician friends started messing around with ukuleles, liquor, and a 4-track inside a 30-foot yacht, the band Waste of Aces was born, and strummed onto the underground ukulele scene (yes, there is one) with a bunch of unusual but catchy melodic pop, folk, and jazz tracks. Initially silly and simple in conception, the band grew in ability and began to tackle more complex compositions. The argument - should there be drums? - was tossed around, and as a result several guest drummers sit in on a number of songs, expanding the sound of the band. Many other talented guest artists are often brought in to enhance the variety of instruments/vocals. But the core elements of Waste of Aces remain Jeff's sensitive songwriting/vocal abilities layered on top of Jun's complex fretless bass tracks. That being said, this particular CD is our homegrown, freshman effort: WASTE OF ACES : SELF TITLED DEBUT ALBUM Before 'Waste of Aces' was a household name, there was this album. Come to think of it, that’s true of all our albums. We like to refer to it as our humble beginnings, musically speaking. The melodies are simple and catchy and deal with universal themes such as love, family and Armageddon, all played on the ukulele! The writing, recording and instrumentation are not quite as sophisticated as our second and third albums but it's still a must have for any true Waste of Aces fan (for the hidden track with Lucifina alone!). Consider it a more 'stripped down' version of the band. As a band we don't mind being 'stripped down' but please enjoy in the privacy of your own home. Scandalous!
