Wook at Fire On Water
At the recent UW Battle Of The Bands, Madison jam band Wook blew through roughly two-thirds of its allotted 20-minute set on one song (the twisty-turny astro-funk tune “Galaxy.”) Totally aware of the stereotypes hurled at their genre, guitarist/keyboard player Jake Stottler just wryly smiled and said, “We’re a jam band, so we’ll probably only play two songs.” But for all the wandering of Stottler and guitarist Justin Wouters, they (and the audience) can stay comfortably grounded in reality and song structure thanks to an ace rhythm section made up of bassist Mike Kuerschner and drummer Andrew Stark.
