Folk Uke, Hard Pans, Mike Nicolai and the Sensations to perform at Hole in the Wall Austin, (March 7, 2013)

On March 7, 2013, Folk Uke will perform at  Hole in the Wall, in Austin, Texas.    Amy Nelson and Cathy Guthrie will open at 10:00 p.m.

“It’s a busy week around here… Friday I’m filling in on bass with Ramsay Midwood somewhere called Hunter, TX. Then on Sunday the Sensations and I are doing our first recording session. It’s always weird and cool to hear what stuff sounds like with a little distance. Next Thursday night 3/7, we’re on a great bill at Hole in the Wall. Very excited about this gig. First on the bill, at 10pm, is Folk Uke (Cathy Guthrie & Amy Nelson).

I first saw them play in late 2005, when I strummed and sang a bit with Ramsay Midwood on a tour that Arlo Guthrie put together to benefit musicians in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. Everybody was sweet and fun and the shows were great. Cathy and Amy’s respective dads, Arlo Guthrie and Willie Nelson, sat in with them in New Orleans. There were fun aftershow hotel picking parties. Sarah Lee Guthrie and Johnny Irion, Ramblin’ Jack Elliot, Cyril Neville, Kevn Kinney, and a bunch of other badasses played.

I hadn’t seen Kevni Kinney since my old band the Draghounds opened for the mighty Drivin’ and Cryin’ in Minneapolis in the early 90s. I met a lot of wild and warm people on that tour.  The guys in the bands, the crew, everybody was tops. All for a good cause to boot. The whole thing was a blast, and it remains one of the highlights of my lifelong music goofing. Since then I’ve wanted to do a show with Folk Uke sometime, and now it’s finally happenin’! Get there early to see these ladies, you’ll be glad that you did, I promise.”

– Mike Nicolai

Folk Uke song featured in “The Babymakers” movie

Saturday, August 11th, 2012

The new movie, “The Babymakers” features a song by the phenomenal Folk Uke Duo Amy Nelson and Cathy Guthrie. The movie’s soundtrack will include Folk Uke’s ” “.

http://movies.nytimes.com
by: Neil Genzlinger

Speculate about this for a bit: What is the worst possible time for an evangelist bearing Jesus pamphlets to come to the front door? During your Seder? Nah, not even close. While you’re berating a misbehaving child at an embarrassing volume? Maybe.

“The Babymakers,” a madcap comedy that detours into vulgarland every now and then, has its own answer to that question, and once you’ve seen the scene, you may be ready to declare the case closed. You may also be inclined to disconnect your doorbell.

The movie, whose brain trust includes some members of the Broken Lizard comedy troupe, which was behind films like “Beerfest” and “Super Troopers,” has a premise built for gags and takes full advantage of it.

Tommy (Paul Schneider) and Audrey (Olivia Munn) are a young couple who are ready to try parenthood but have trouble conceiving. After a funny sequence in which a lot of unsolicited, often unprintable advice comes their way, they go to a doctor and learn that Tommy’s sperm aren’t up to the task.

“They look drunk,” Audrey says, as the doctor shows them a slide. For the record, ladies, that’s the kind of comment from which a male ego might never recover.

Years earlier, before his sperm became drunkards, Tommy contributed to a sperm bank, which turns out still to have one sample left. Trouble is, it’s already spoken for. So Tommy and some friends, among them the enabling Wade (Kevin Heffernan, doing his always amusing loutish thing), decide to break into the sperm bank and steal it.

Jay Chandrasekhar, who directed the film, plays the inept criminal they hire to help them. And if you’re thinking that this whole plot is a setup for a revolting sperm-related scene that rivals anything in “There’s Something About Mary,” you’re right.
