U.W.I. photos from December 7, 2013 at the Rock Lottery 4 at Knitting Factory in Brooklyn, NY are now online and available for purchase. View and buy them here or view on Flickr.
The Rock Lottery premise is simple, but effective. Twenty-five hand picked musicians meet at 10:00 AM at the evenings performance venue. These volunteers are organized into five groups through a lottery-based chance selection. The five separate groups are then released to practice at different locations. The musicians have twelve hours to create a band name and three to five songs (with a one cover-song limit). The groups will then perform what they have created that evening in front of a waiting audience.
U.W.I. was comprised of Oliver Ackerman (A Place To Bury Strangers), James Canty (The Make-Up / Ted Leo And The Pharmacists / Nation Of Ulysses), John Stanesco (Friend Roulette), Angus Tarnawsky (Apache Beat / Devin / Ef Es Vii/2), Corey Zaloom (Riverwild).
