Enter by BAD UOK

Bad Uok was born in 2010 when Andrea Grillini (drums) hook up with Andrea Calì (piano and Fender Rhodes), Leonardo Rizzi (guitar and baritone guitar) and Federico Pierantoni (trombone) who took the place of saxophonist Filippo Mantione after some alternation.

The central idea of the quartet, which is achieved among other things, by excluding the bass, is to free all instruments from a conventional role. The role of the bass, for instance, can be played by the left hand of the pianist or by the guitar or, sometimes, by the trombone; the lead theme also and the solos or the electronic sounds and noises are shared by all instruments. The solos are played over grooves and rhythmical structures that evolve

melodically and harmonically following the soloist's intention.

"Enter" will be released on January 2013 by Auand Records and it is a sum of these concepts, autonomously created in the last two and a half years of rehearsal, concerts and acquaintance.

Almost all compositions (except for a couple of impro and one song by Pierantoni) were written by Grillini but it is hard to say where the writing ends and where the work of the band starts. Each tune is modified, deconstructed, cut-and-pasted in an intense collective work. Even if the hand of the original composer is perceptible, the composition gets a unique trademark: Bad Uok's sound!
