Wubakia is a formidable omni-rock quartet formed in Santa Cruz in 2006 comprised of guitar, bass, drums, and a small fortress of keyboards, including a hammond A100 organ. Their name, succinctly defined as the inverse of deja vu, conveys the spirit of their performances; if you allow yourself to become immersed in the creative flow of the moment, even the 1000th performance of a song can open up and become a completely fresh, new experience, full of spontaneity.
Here is a band that embodies the same qualities that are appealing to throngs of their counter-culture patrons: Thoughtful, dynamic, and sometimes complex compositions and arrangements, joyful stage presence, virtuosic musicianship, and a love of spontaneity and improvisation. Influenced by bands like Phish, Pink Floyd, Yes, the Grateful Dead, and Medeski Martin and Wood, Wubakia's commitment to their ambitious musical vision is evidenced by the intricacy of their material and their willingness and ability to tread into most any musical territory. Their repertoire bears smatterings of rock, folk, funk, blues, jazz, prog, electronic, and bluegrass. Lyrically, their songs range from esoterically profound to downright silly.
It all culminates in a live experience that's constantly pushing new ground, alternately coaxing the audience to tune in and listen, and unwind on the dance floor. Those whose musical appetite is rarely satisfied by turning on the radio are likely to walk out of a Wubakia show feeling pleasantly full.
