Totally agree... a fantastic album!
After happening across a few videos on You Tube, I found their album available for download for $7.00 on Bandcamp:
http://lafamiliadeukeleles.bandcamp.com/
Wide variety of material nicely arranged and recorded. Would like to know more about them besides the obvious: they're young, talented, don't take themselves too seriously. And they're from Argentina.
What's not to like about piercings, tattoos, Ray Bans, a resonator guitar, and ukuleles a-go-go? |

Hi Jack
I watched a lot of there videos that came on after I listen to the album. They are super tight live and look like there haveing a ball. I love the audience in there videos. One set is in the round and the Nextel set. In both people are listening, no cell phones talking or photos even the children, just enjoying the music. Would love to see them live. |

I was surprised they made their entire album available free. It was very generous of them. One of the things that gives them a very polished quality is the vocal harmonies which seem to be the old pre-war trio style. I love it with only one reservation, "These Boots." I don't care if I never her that song ever again.

| David, the free part worked on me. I downloaded it from bandcamp so I could listen in the car and play for friends. The live versions of the songs are even better and I like to watch them play. |

I guess there are songs I just loath any way they are done. These Boots, Down Town, He Ain't Heavy, Yellow Submarine, and 90% of what they do on Idol.
