For those who have never heard this band, you absolutely must. They have a unique blend of metal, blues, prog rock, fusion and occasionally blue grass, many say they are the next reincarnation of phish but i tend to believe they are alot more technically advanced than phish. They have two guitarists jake and brendan.....both are extremely talented players especially jake.

Yes, I am a total Umphreak. I've seen them 4 times this year so far. They have just consistently blown me away. They are the future of music as far as I'm concerned. What are some of your favorite shows?

some of mine are:

2/26/04
2/27/04
2/28/04
2/29/04
5/19/04
6/11/04 (bonnaroo)
8/21/04
8/27/04

I saw UM for the first time at SmileFest this year. They played 2 sets on seperate days, I only saw the first day. I thought they were pretty good, but didn't really grab me. But when I finally listened to the recording of the second day's set I was blown the F away. These guys are so tight, a must hear for all.

Most hardcore UM fans (such as myself) report that they were initially underwhelmed. When I first heard them I thought they were just "OK." Many people (also including myself) also don't like the vocals at first, but they really grow on ya after a while.

Now, I fucking worship this band. I've seen them more times in a shorter period than any other band. 4 times this year so far, and again next friday! Can't wait!


Apparently Phil likes 'em too Wink

If you haven't heard the recent shows, I highly recommend them. There's a bunch up on archive.org.
