Unknown Mortal Orchestra

Unknown Mortal Orchestra is the new exciting project for former guitarist of The Mint Chicks Ruban Neilson. Ruban cleverly exited the New Zealand music scene to establish UMO in Portland, partnering with Portland local Jake Portrait and teenage prodigy Julien Ehrich. And not surprisingly, New Zealand's indie community are excited for the return of Ruban and his new project. Playing shows in Auckland and Wellington this December, and returning for the Big Day Out, we are very excited to see what comes from the unknown.

Overview

Unknown Mortal Orchestra is the new exciting project for former guitarist of The Mint Chicks Ruban Neilson. Ruban cleverly exited the New Zealand music scene to establish UMO in Portland, partnering with Portland local Jake Portrait and teenage prodigy Julien Ehrich.

After blogs around the world quickly spread the word of 'Ffunny Ffrends', which was released on Bandcamp in 2010, the hype behind UMO has reached many corners of the globe.

And not surprisingly, New Zealand's indie community are excited for the return of Ruban and his new project. Playing shows in Auckland and Wellington this December, and returning for the Big Day Out, I'm very excited to see what comes from the unknown.
