    Ruban really has his own style with UMO but perfectly demonstrated through his influences it’s amazing. These days like a great blend of 60s/70s soul, funk, and Lofi psychedelic rock, even disco. Ministry of Alienation feels like such an underrated song

    some of the highlights of my gig-going youth was seeing this dude and his bro Kody in The Mint Chicks absolutely fucking TEARING it up in various local venues here in Hamilton, NZ.
    Swinging from the rafters, leaping from massive speaker stacks, just generally having a ridiculously good time.
    I met/accosted them a few times after shows, and they were fukn nice dudes.

      @@bradg7000 Yes, no doubt...Dream cymbals are definitely the best value out there for quality cymbals. (best bang for your buck? ...if you will...d'dum-ptss!)
      If you want the best sounding set of cymbals, but for the least amount of money, you can't go wrong with Dream. There are certainly better-sounding cymbals out there, but you will pay an arm and a leg for them. You could get a whole set of Dreams for what you'd pay for 1 or 2 vintage Zildjian K Constantinople cymbals, and you'd be happy with the purchase.
