Uneaq in San Jose
I haven’t been going to very many parties lately, focusing my musical efforts on jazz, instead of house music. But, I knew that after missing a few of their events, I couldn’t miss Uneaq‘s birthday bash tonight at San Jose Bar and Grill in downtown San Jose. Paranoid I was going to miss the party, I showed up in time to help out a little with the sound check, grab a pita nearby, and hang out in the mostly dead bar, listening to some really strange mashups.
Uneaq were on fire tonight. Jessica’s vocals just keep getting better and better. Josh’s guitar solos were right on the money, even when he was using a violin bow to wrangle the notes. Andrew’s big meaty bass guitar brought up the bottom end. Many of their new songs are significant departures from standard house music fare, including a couple of songs that are more downtempo with beautiful melodies and a little Prince influence.
The crowd was a little thin and the acoustics in the room were a little dead, but it’s always a pleasure to hang out with three talented musicians plying their craft in a genre dominated by DJs. Such a talented group. I can’t wait to hear them again.
