Dave Kerman
and The 5 UU's





This is a band that has existed over a great many years and in many different incarnations,
however the standard of excellence has remained consistent throughout.
The chief instigator here is Drummer/ Percussionist Dave Kerman.
A true musical mastermind, Kerman draws on numerous and wide-ranging influences.
The end result is a veritable potpourri of the finest musical styles.
The following are just a few of the descriptives that may apply:

Experimental
Avant- Garde
Highly Progressive
A Tad Bit Loopy
Blissfully Complicated
Heady
Kung Pao
Saran Wrap




I think you get the idea...




Kerman's associations stretch well beyond this particular project, having done time with such notables as:
The Motor Totemist Guild, Thinking Plague, Blast, Present,
the California Outside Music Hybrid U-Totem, and most recently, the SUPERB and highly recommended Ahvak.

As a matter of fact, Dave is one of the primary 'gurus' of the modern era of what is known as the
RIO - Rock In Opposition movement in contemporary Progressive Rock.
The very title of this genre gives me dissonant tinges of atonal excitement
- yet the very mention of it can inspire heated debate, depending on who you are speaking with.
I will leave the arguments for all the others and simply
implore you to explore this music for yourself.
