About: Mikey from Priestess with his girlfriend, Kathryn, and their drummer-friend, Shawn spent two weeks in the summer jamming and recording in Mikey's kitchen. As they finished each song, they put them up on myspace, facebook and posted to Stillepost. There was an amazing reaction to their, fuzzy, catchy, hooky tunes recorded on Garageband. They spent the rest of the summer playing sweaty loft parties and bbqs and are now poised to be one of the new breakout bands from Montreal this coming year. Their super lo-fi, fun, fuzzy, garagy sound and loveable live show is infectious. Mikey and Kathryn are such a cool, loveable couple to see up front and center. Already darlings of the Montreal scene, they're now getting attention from usa labels, bloggers, press,etc.. They recently supported Jeff The Brotherhood and will be out with Ty Segal in March. "Like a Smith Westerns hangover after a night with Iggy Pop" - PASTE www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2010/10/cmj-an-a-z-guide.html?p=5 "Artist To Watch...KickAss" Rollo&Grady - www.rollogrady.com/artist-to-watch-uncle-badtouch/ "Best Discovery Of The Year" -NashvilleScene The BIG TAKEOVER'S TOP-10: #3: Uncle Bad Touch - Baby Baby Baby Baby "This new Montreal band has somehow achieved the rare feat of effectively blending indie-fied pop, prog and old school rock. (Classic Prop?) With epic melodies and a nifty ability for the songs to contract and release unexpectedly, Uncle Bad Touch is a great time with just the right amount of fucked up and shred. Go see them live, they play really hard!" www.bigtakeover.com/top-ten/Matt-Lee-110116
