About
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.
“A whirlwind and entirely strange adventure that leaves you breathless and exhilarated.” Tone Deaf
Rating: 5 out of 5 Rating: 5 out of 5 UMO concert was a thrill
by Larzard on 8/1/16The Sinclair - CambridgeThe band was tight as hell. Nice to see a Berklee grad. Filling in for the drummer. She had a gospel vibe which was unexpected but worked really well! The lights were cool! The lead singer came into the audience and made it all the way back to the sound booth!
Rating: 5 out of 5 Best concert of my life
by Mulder727 on 7/31/16The Sinclair - CambridgeSeeing my favorite band on my birthday was an unforgettable experience. I cannot express in words how amazing this show was. Ruban is a beast on guitar. Definitely get the Hendrix/Zappa vibes. As a guitar player myself, his playing is incredibly inspiring. His stage presence was like nothing else. Dancing around and falling in the floor during guitar solos, and even hopping of the stage during Stage or Screen to sing the song in the crowd! Go see this band.

by LizardShark on 6/24/15The Hollow - AlbanyThe band totally blew me away with their dynamics. I really appreciated their spotlights of each member throughout the performance. They didn't follow the rules, they let loose and made love with the audience. Truly incredible.

by deadaselvis on 9/29/13The Fillmore - San FranciscoGreat bartenders great cocktail server. Great opening act merch was a bit pricy for me. UMO really had a good show my first time seeing them and I had a great time. I miss the free posters Darn it !
Rating: 4 out of 5 Wampire, Unknown Mortal Orchestra are fantastic
by LazarusLong87 on 3/11/13Bluebird Nightclub - BloomingtonWampire and UMO are great, great bands who put on great shows, suitable for dancing around or just listening. highly recommended to anyone that's a fan of psychedelic rock. Foxygen, however, played an absolutely terrible set. I think they have potential but their frontman was absurdly high and could not perform. He was just alternating between mumbling and screaming into the microphone, stumbling around and interrupting his own set. Worst band I've ever paid money to see. That being said, Wampire and UMO are so great that It's worth seeing them, just step out while Foxygen is playing if they're really high again.

Rating: 3 out of 5 Unknown Mortal Orchestra a strong band but...
by bassman34 on 3/4/13Brighton Music Hall - Boston...the sound was pretty terrible. The band's great songs were marred by a too loud house volume and a muddy sound. Inexcusable in 2013, will not visit this venue again.
Rating: 2 out of 5 not so good live
by MusikAnimal on 3/3/13Bowery Ballroom - New YorkThe opening band, Foxygen, was pretty awesome. Unknown Mortal Orchestra, not so awesome. They sound infinitely better in the studio. Live it is very dry and dull. Most people left!
Rating: 5 out of 5by Anonymous on 6/13/12Mercury Lounge - New York This was a great show. It was a small venue so everyone was really close to the stage and the band was awesome and high energy and played songs differently (but better) than on the album.
