Even though I’ve not always been the biggest fan of Umphrey’s Mcgee’s music, I definitely give the band credit for continually experimenting and thinking of new ways to engage with their fans. I thought their strategy for releasing their last album, Mantis, was an innovative approach. I also thought their experiment offering webcasts on iClips.net [...]Related posts:Umphrey’s McGee Announc

The gents mashed up a number of classic and modern covers and originals including a brilliant pairing of their own Phil's Farm with the White Stripes' Seven Nation Army, Pink Floyd's Money and Led ...

Well, I went to my favorite local venue last night, the historic Barrymore Theatre, to see Umphrey's McGee. They have played there dozens of times, and they do quite well. They sold out both the Thursday and Friday night shows with virtually zero promotion. I used my cameraphone to take a bunch of photos, and have made them into a handy Slideshow that you might enjoy. It runs 2:17, so come back...

I spent a lot of today glued to the telly watching the inaugural festivities and monitoring the tweets on the puter, I have to say I was pretty impressed by it all.Let's just see if we can all live up to the challenge of turning this mess around, get us some peace and start spreading the wealth or what's left of it.Reminds me of that depression era axiom - "Use It Up. Wear It Out. Make It Do. a...

In honor, here's some Nemo to help me get my Umphreak on...

After ten years playing together and helping hold the "jamband" genre together you would think these guys would be getting the love they deserve, maybe the new release will put them over the top, or maybe they're just trying too hard. Regardless UM holds a permanent bookmark in my library and I'm sure a few of yours as well. This vid reminded me of Ray's earlier post. Share the love.Mulche's Od...

I landed on these guys today at Progarchives.com. The thing that struck me instantly was just how much they are a 70's sounding band. I hear everything from Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young, to Todd Rundgren, and it still sounds relevant.Maybe it's the live atmosphere, I dunno, but the sound and the feel of this exerpt from their live performance at the Murat took me right back to the good old d...
