What's acoustic, and has ukuleles, and sounds like catchy 1920's melodies mixed with modern influences? Waste of Aces, a Los Angeles based uke band.Band/artist history
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.Have you performed in front of an audience?We play live every so often...check out our website for the latest information!

Great songs. This style of "power pop" is one of my favorites. The singer's voice sounds like Pray For Rain's vocalist when he goes up in into the higher register.
Very cool sounds. I dig it. You guys are talented.
got three new hot joints... check it out....
wow, i love this stuff!!! cool feeling is such a happy swaying song kinda has that frank sinatra feel to it, it's wonderful. favorite line "i love you when we're under the sea, it's concep-tually appealing" wonderful simply put. hope you make more songs because it would be a crying shame if you did.
