"I first watched [the Uninvited] in L.A. in the ’90s. They are original and talented and endlessly entertaining. They also have staying power. They deserve this recognition.”—JAY MONAHAN, DIABLO MAGAZINE
The Uninvited are a San Francisco Bay Area alt-rock/Americana band built around brothers Steve and John Taylor and their unmistakable vocal harmonies. After winning MTV's Beach House Band competition, signing with Atlantic Records and touring nationally behind four charting singles, the band developed a devoted audience drawn to its mix of melodic rock, Americana instrumentation and irreverent songwriting.
Reformed and recording again, The Uninvited released Broken Promiseland and were named Best Band in the East Bay by Diablo Magazine in 2025. The current lineup combines the band's catalog with a muscular, high-energy live show featuring guitars, Hammond organ, piano, banjo, mandolin and multi-part vocals.
“If you're one of the few people in this town who have never seen The Uninvited, where the hell have you been? Do yourself a favor and catch [the next show]. You're welcome.”
“The Uninvited's latest album 'Broken Promiseland' reflects a feeling of perseverance, defiance, and optimism in the face of disillusionment or adversity...”
“What makes this band so great is their perky, peppy rock tunes wrapped around hysterically funny, often satirically scathing lyrics that are occasionally even downright poignant.”
