UMO's North American tour launches closely following the imminent release of their first double album, V, led by Hawaiian-New Zealand musician Ruban Nielson and drawing from the rich traditions of West Coast AOR, classic hits, weirdo pop and Hawaiian Hapa-haole music. The project evokes blue skies, beachside cocktail bars, hotel pools and the darkness that lurks below perfect, pristine surfaces as Nielson reframes the road that led to this moment during the pandemic's early days spent in Palm Springs. It was there that the 14 singalong anthems, cinematic instrumentals, and mischievous pop songs in V were brought together with the help of his father, Chris Nielson (saxophone/flute), and longstanding UMO member Jake Portrait.

Portland psych-rockers Unknown Mortal Orchestra are returning to Australia to debut their upcoming fourth album Sex and Food. The band's newly released singles 'Not In Love We're Just High' and 'American Guilt' - which triple j described as "Prince doing stoner rock" - deliver the hypnotic psychedelic beat they are best known for.
Fronted by visionary Ruban Nielson, the band was last in Australia for a string of sold-out headline shows in 2015 with their critically acclaimed album Multi-Love, which continued Nielson's exploration of his art, his life, and experience with polyamory through hallucinogenic funk and R&B.
"...I wanted to embrace this abandoned genre of rock music that I keep reading is "dead" and invite people to hear with this living dead genre sounds like in the UMO universe," Nielson said.
UMO are a force to be reckoned with on stage and this live performance will be an altogether otherworldly jam session that will leave you hot and sweaty.
