Buke and Gase are an upstate NY-based duo who make unconventional music with unconventional instruments. Together they come up with some of the most original and interesting music I've heard in a while, both on the record and on stage, and as is always the case in these rare circumstances, describing their sound is really challenging. If you can, imagine some sort of experimental post-industrial avantgarde indie rock... Odd meters, doubled melody lines, angular beats, intricate harmonizations and skilled used of distortion, pitch shifters, harmonizers and delays elevate the whole Buke & Gase experience to the level of something you've never heard of and that will keep you glued to them. Incredibly they achieve all of this with just the two of them and I've seen them doing it live. They are a power house and they don't even have a drummer or use any loops or pre-recorded material. Arone Dyer (woman) sings and plays a heavily effected Buke (baritone ukulele) and Aron Sanchez (man) plays the even more heavily processed Gase (guitarbase - a self built guitar looking instrument that has some bass strings and some guitar strings) as well as a modified kick drum with some tambourine jingles on the front of it.
Do yourself a favor and check them out yourself because describing them doesn't really do them much justice! They kick ass and you won't really know that until you hear what they do.
