Pet Sounds

beagle buddies

Calling all Cleveland Pets!

I want to sample your critters. Does your cat chirp, your dog howl, or  your bunny growl? I’d like to use those sounds for a future recording.

Cool sounding pets  will be featured on an upcoming Uno lady record. The record’s theme is Cleveland-centric, so I am looking for Northeast Ohio area animals only. If the animal noises are included, your pet will get credit for their artistic addition on the release and you will receive a free download of the song your pet is featured on.

Instructions:

  • Interested pet parents should send a recording (Mp3 or WAV file) to unoladymusic@gmail.com
  • Please include your 1) your name 2) contact info 3) pets name how you’d like it listed on the release 4) what kind of animal your pet is.
  • By sending in the recording you are giving me the rights to use, edit, and adapt your pet’s sound.
  • Tips: Be conscious of the atmospheric noises when recording. It should sound like your pet, not your pet with laughter or music playing in the background.
  • Disclaimer: Not all pet sounds will be used. No pets will get paid.

Thanks for coming! Here is a free download.

Awesome show last night with Shitbox Jimmy and Fred and Toody Cole of Dead Moon. Thanks to all who came out.

Since fall is in full force, I thought I’d share an old tune, “Orange Floats,” which is inspired by spiraling leaves and spooky clouds.  Its a free download. Where it says Buy Now, you just write a 0 in the box (or you can write $1000000 :D)

I’m coming for you Wisconsin!

Oh Wisconsin, where no one bats an eye at my thick Midwestern accent, and  beer and cheese are always on the menu.  I’m glad to be coming back.

Lætitia Sadier + Uno Lady ~ October 2@ Mahall’s 20 Lanes

Lætitia Sadier has one of my favorite voices of all time, so obviously I am ecstatic to open for her.  She was great in Stereolab and she continues to make awesome music as a solo artist.

I read this interview a while back and was softened by her words,  “I am always trying to hold up a mirror — a loving mirror, not a horrible mirror — to myself and to other people. I just want to make art that can show us how to be a better, much more loving version of ourselves…”

Come to the show Friday, October 2 (doors at 8:30/show @9pm)
@ Mahall’s 20 Lanes   
13200 Madison Ave. Lakewood, OH

$10 advance/$12 at the door
