about
UNNATURAL WAYS is the power trio of Ava Mendoza (guitar), Dominique Leone (synths), and Nick Tamburro (drums, percussion). The group marries the intense energy of early free jazz to instantly memorable tunes. Unpretentious and visceral, their music winds its way through complex heavy rock, avant-jazz and warped, noisy blues. All three players push the boundaries of their own vocabularies and the written music, putting on a powerful and unpredictable live show. Formed in early 2012, the band's short but eventful time on the planet has included tours of the eastern and western USA and Europe. A limited-release cdr is available HERE. A full-length CD/LP is in the works and will be released in late 2013. Members of UW have recorded/performed with Tune-yards, Nels Cline (Wilco), Fred Frith, Matmos, Carla Bozulich (The Geraldine Fibbers, Evangelista), Mike Watt (Minutemen), The Dead Science, Daniel Johnston, members of ROVA Saxophone Quartet, William Winant (Mr. Bungle), Casiotone for the Painfully Alone, Tony Buck (The Necks), Weasel Walter, R. Stevie Moore, and more. http://www.avamendozamusic.com/Unnatural%20Ways.html User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
