UKULELE NOIR
East Boston Make Out Club Band
small instruments, big trouble
A cabaret-style show which features some of New England's best ukulele players.
Don't ask about our name. Just don't.
Since 2006, The East Boston Make-Out Club Band has been rocking the clubs, bars, and other local hang-outs of Greater Boston and beyond. EBMOCB features the musical talents of Davina Yannetty (lead vocals, ukulele, melodica, and hand percussion) and Heather Mumford (backing vocals, guitar, and hand percussion). Their brand of comical acoustic rock has been heard at establishments such as TT the Bear’s Place, The Phoenix Landing, The Bell In Hand Tavern and All Asia. Central Mass has also played host to the quirky duo at Worcester’s Hotel Vernon and Ralph’s Chadwick Square Rock Club.
Davina and Heather met in 2002 through a mutual friend, but only years later, when Heather was trying to coach Davina with her songwriting (and Davina was trying to coach Heather with her knitting), did they discover that they worked very well together as musicians. With original tunes inspired by everyday life and acoustic takes on rock and pop covers, EBMOCB entertains the masses with songs such as “You Can’t Be a Stalker Without Binoculars” and “Better” and covers of “Godzilla” by The Blue Oyster Cult and “A Quick One, While He’s Away” by The Who. The Band has been compared to the likes of Tenacious D. and The Hazzards, but, of course, makes their own sound from the stage to the Boston Common -- anywhere music needs to be heard!
