The Interview Show with Unknown Mortal Orchestra #137

from The Interview Show Hosted by Scott Wood

Unknown Mortal Orchestra (sometimes known as UMO) is one of those mysterious bands who seem to burst out of nowhere. One track appears on a blog and suddenly everyone wants more music. This is the situation that UMO songwriter Ruban Nielson found himself in. Weird thing is… Ruban had given up making music. I called Ruban one late night and he told me the incredible story of how he went from being an ex-punk rocker, turned film intern at an Oregon production company to the frontman for one of Portland’s most hyped bands. Tracks played on the show... 1) Unknown Mortal Orchestra II “Swim and Sleep (Like a Shark)” 2) Unknown Mortal Orchestra II “So Good At Being in Trouble” 3) Unknown Mortal Orchestra Unknown Mortal Orchestra “FFunny FFrends” 4) Unknown Mortal Orchestra II “From the Sun” NO songs CANCON
