Uncle Martin

Uncle Martin is a one-man-trio from the west-coast(of Norway). The band consists of Steve Hex, guitars/vocals, Stevie Nickersen, bass and Stevie Nackin, drums. The band draws influence from the past and the colour brown. Brown is one of the most colourful colours in the known universe as it contains a number of colours mixed together perfectly. Musically the band tries to protrude a mixture of hasty composition and recordingsessions, low edge studio technique and plain old joy of musical experimentation. “There are no limits in music”, says frontman Steve H. “Only silence, but silence is also effectful in music, just as brown is effectful in other artforms”, he continues. “Just think of the Mona Lisa without the colour brown. Who`s laughing now, eh?”

Since the early nineties the band has been working under different names and influences. But the sound remains the same, groovy, laidback, sloppy and off-beat. Sometimes even offensive in it`s shear abundance of different influences. Such as rock n roll. Pop. Blues. You name it, it`s all there.
So put on your favourite poncho, put on you sunglasses and turn up the volume. It`s time to put the donkey to work. Uncle Martin-style. Riding into the Californian sunset at heart. Hi haw!
