Uay’s 1st full length release ‘La Selva’ is steeped in magic fairy dust, toadstool rhythms, and psychic dancing footsteps. Uay is a duo project based in Guadalajara, Mexico. Their name is the phonetic translation of a Mayan word for spell or wizard. The sound is a mix of snaking guitar lines, hypnotic hand drumming percussion, with comforting bass and drum repetition. At the center of this frenzied shredding, the vocal harmonies provide a tether to reality. The unison and energy in these sung spells shows through many years of friendship and honed craft. Uay was formed in 2018 by Rodrigo Torres (bass/vocals) and Francisco Lopez (guitar/vocals) with a rotating cast of drummers, percussionists, and guest musicians. Francisco and Rodrigo are founding members of the Mexicadelia Festival and have helped cultivate a thriving psych music scene in Guadalajara. Uay has toured the US and did a support tour for The Shivas in Mexico in 2019. They’ve played shows with Thee Oh Sees, Khruangbin, Los Espiritus, Kinski, and Weeed.
