Hi everyone, I just wanted to announce HanktheTank's Slave 4 New Wave Ukulele Video Contest.
What: Submit a new wave ukulele video. Here is an example of 80's New Wave. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxpB5gjj2Q0 Make it a video response to my video above (not the new wave example video) and include "Hankthetank's Slave 4 New Wave Ukulele Video Contest" in the beginning. Have fun with it. But the number one rule is that your video should feature a ukulele.

When: Submit videos now till 11:59pm CST on Feb 28.
How: The winner will be picked on what video I liked the best. What does that mean? It could be anything. Could be based on the song choice, the playing, the video editing, getting into character, or your interpretation of a certain song. Consider it a challenge more than a contest in that regard. Put your best foot forward. For the video I pick, there may be better videos, but I don't want any whining on who should have won. I pick who I pick. This is supposed to be a fun contest.

Prizes: 3rd place will get a tuner or something comparable.
2nd place will get a Ukulele Underground Tshirt. And 1st place will get a Nalu Ahua Tenor. shipped anywhere in the world.
So thank you for entering and good luck to you. Let me know if you have any questions, comments, or concerns.
I hope you guys enter. I am excited to see what you all come up with. Thanks!

I didn't know what New Wave was. I like most of those songs.
 
Heh, heh. This could be fun...

I watched the 80's compilation video you linked and one thing struck me - I'm kinda glad I was in the military through most of the 80's so I can safely say that no pictures of me with outlandish hair will come back to haunt me... :)

Great contest, Hank!
 
Wow, Henry - what a great contest!
 
I bet this contest is going to be fun! Those of us who were born in the 70's should remember this era well.
 
Nice contest Henry!
I will come up with something. I love new wave music myself. In fact, one of the reasons I stopped playing guitar in the 80's was that I was into a lot of guitar-less music - Dépêche Mode, Heaven 17, Yello, Kraftwerk - yeah, good times!
This is going to be fun!
 
Oh man I'd love to join, but at 18 years old, i have no idea what new wave music is! :(
Somebody willing to assist?

A link to a YouTube video containing example of New Wave music is in the original post and on my announcement video (I think). Also, if you do a search on YouTube for New Wave music it will give you lots of examples. Depeche Mode, The Cure, New Order, Erasure, The Smiths, and Duran Duran are groups that's I would classify as New Wave. I hope you enter.
