Unknown Mortal Orchestra @ Urban 07.29 with Vinyl Williams
Everything was just as it should be as I sat twiddling my thumbs inside the Urban Lounge. Then, life changed in an instant as Unknown Mortal Orchestra’s lead singer, Ruban Nielson, tapped me on the shoulder, and asked if I could join the band on stage when the time came. SYKE. It was just

“Jesus! I can’t hear anything!” I thought, after the first couple guitar explosions of the night. The amps seemed to be turned way too far up, because after a couple monstrous chords for sound check, I was already regretting that I’d forgotten earplugs. “It’s a good sign that my ears are ringing and the show
