Like the My Littlest Pet Shop version of a guitar, ukeleles keep the scene tweens squealing for super happy camp-pop jams. The bite sized “plucked lute” has had its glorious moments in the scene and will always make its appearances with the cutest of cute bands: Hellogoodbye : Before Drive Thru drove themselves into an early grave, their nerdy superstars, Hellogoodbye were quite the fan of Ukes. While Forrest, Chris, Jessie, Marcus and crew sat around their campfire eating sticks on a log and singing sugarsweet ballads to their hottie counselors, their uke was the only instrument they had that could hit notes as high as 4Rest’s voice. See: Ukulele Recordings NeverShoutNever : 18 year old Cristofer Drew is still practically a tween himself, so it’s no wonder he is one with the ukelele. He loves it so much, he named his latest EP after it; “Me and My Uke”. If that isn’t puppy love, I don’t know what is. See: Me and My Uke EP What you may never realize about ukuleles is that they are selective. You’ve got to be the size of a chicken nugget to play a ukulele. Think about it, could you ever imagine Chris Burney from Bowling for Soup rocking out on ukulele? I think not. Anyone over 80 lbs cant fit on a uke, plain and simple. There are instruments for everyone, no matter your shape and size…a nd the uke is for those that never hit puberty, and based on the music they make, don’t really care to.
