One part Taylor Whittaker and one part Nickie Minshall, UKAE was technically born when the pair met in grade three. Even as youngsters they were a natural musical match, and although the ridiculously adorable elementary school duo did, unfortunately, fall apart, the group was reincarnated years later in August 2012.
UKAE is a Toronto-based indie band featuring Taylor's raspy and oh-so-manly voice working in tandem with Nickie's sweet and soulful sound. This combo coupled with Taylor's organic knack for catchy guitar riffs makes for some pretty awesome tunes. Well-versed in uncommon, tasty covers (think Pursuit of Happiness and Where Is My Mind) as well as a growing roster of heartfelt originals, UKAE's sound adds something new and different to Toronto's music scene.
Having recently finished recording four acoustic demo tracks, UKAE plans to release a full-length album in 2013. Stay tuned.
