NYC UM fans. Brooklyn Bowl officially added for Sunday. Tickets on sale tomorrow at noon
Score: 0
I'm going to see them in Providence this weekend, for the first time. I have to say, after years of not really caring about them, I had a conversation with a friend and he changed my mind. He sent me some awesome links to live stuff and after reading this thread I am getting pretty stoked to see them!!

@LedZeppelin said: Can't say I'm a fan. The music they're releasing these days is much too poppy & simplistic for my liking. I was into the albums Anchor Drops and Local Band Does O.K, and if their setlists were to only be composed of tracks off those albums I would like this band a lot more.
Sadly, the new poppy tracks are what's making it into their setlists as of late. I've been to over 30 UM shows since 2007, and I don't really have a desire to see them ever again.
I've seen them once and I had a great time. Sweet jams and they played Anchor Drops which was kick ass. I agree 100% with this statement about them though. The simplistic poppy and electronic sounds that they've added over the past few years don't do it for me and I feel like it ruins the quality of jams

Ridiculous show in Buffalo last night. Absolutely f***ing outstanding. Tour opener too, so TONS of energy. I've only seen them a handful of times (maybe two handfuls) over the last few years, but after only a few songs into the first set last night, I could already tell it was easily the best UM show I've seen yet.God DAYUM those boys can JAYUM!

Caught the last bit of Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad too, and I wish I had gone earlier (especially since I only live 2 blocks over) -- these guys are f***ing fantastic.I finally got around to listening to a few recordings a little while back, and I dug it, but it didn't really grab me; but then, as it always happens, "then I saw them live".
These guys are serious. From the limited exposure I've had so far, it's mostly reggae-dub (as the name suggests), but they can also stretch it out into really jammy, dancy territory, and their playing is tight as hell, too (they've been around for about a decade or so now). Definitely unique, definitely worth checking out.

@phishiNYG , @dyn0mite , and @KyraGreenberg i will keep an eye out for you. i have quite a few friends with tickets going to this. maybe someone elses wife will get knocked up too either way, just go, there should be extras floating around. if not providence is crazy you never know. you might be able to figure something out. sneak in. barter with the guy at the door. etc.

This band is about to grow.I'm listening my way through their new years run now, I'm in Bright Lights Big City > Cocaine > BLBC now. They are playing with some serious hunger, feels like the same kind of hunger as 1993 Phish.
I'm not comparing the MUSIC so no one flame me!! I'm comparing the hunger, precision and energy.

Why don't they try touring small arenas?

They always undersell tickets on websites for the Brooklyn Bowl. I think they think it helps eliminate scalpers profiting off tickets.
If you want to see them, go to the doors around 630-7pm the night of the show and you'll get in. During their 5 run night a year or so ago, I got into three shows without having tickets at 6pm each day. You may have to wait a couple hours for the band to come on, but the BKBowl is awesome and you can eat a good meal, drink good beer, and even play a couple games of (expensive) bowling.
You may even run into ?uestlove.

also, since only one of my friends got tickets to the show, he would like to trade the ticket for a beacon ticket if anyone's interested.

Thanks man! I'm checking all the boards, but I don't know that many people in the UM scene compared to phish.
Things usually come together! I'll likely show up and see what I can do if I don't secure anything pre-show! If I don't get in, have a blast for me!

Was given free tickets to tonight at the Beacon! I can't say I love then as a "jam band" because I find them lacking some soul, and they don't seem to go out as far on a limb while jamming (Type 2). Well at least it seems to me like the jams are extremely choreographed.Nonetheless, I love these guys and I'm stoked to be seeing them again.

Was at the show at the Landmark last night in Syracuse. First time seeing them, only listened to 'em a handful of times beforehand. I had a great time (theater was great), although I agree with some people, that things seemed choreographed a bit. I felt like all the big jams had similar segments, almost like the same movements set to different orchestral suites.
I will say that I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of groove thrown in during the early second set especially. I'd be down to see 'em once a tour, not sure about anything more than that.
Last note: first set > second set b/c the guitarist with the nasal voice sang less in the first set. Less lyrics, more playing

I'm new to UM as of October, it's so nice feeling and discovering totally new, a n00b once more! I'm absolutely smitten with them. I put my antenna up for two for the Brooklyn birthday show, but, I don't see that happening, I'm going to hit up that stream for 7.99 though.

Getting excited for providence tonight. Just realized the venue is right down the street from the world famous Olneyville NY System. I for one, will be soaking up my beers with Ri hot wieners after the show. If you are from out of town and have never been there, go! And get 3 with the works!

I posted this in GM.N and it would be a shame to not post here. UM is doing poster subscriptions, all 11 posters with matching #'s right down the line. They have a GREAT line up of artists as well. Check it out right HERE.

OK, so yeah I am a music critic as my job, and I am aware NO ONE cares what I think (which is why I think music critics are dumb. It's subjective, not objective. Restaurant reviews are good. Music? Not so much)So I've seen UM 10 times, the last being the other night in Syracuse. For nine shows, I was always that guy being bummed that they aren't doing what I want.
Then came Thursday. The band blew me away. Amazing. I was expecting a guitar clinic like I usually see from them, but damn they were on point with soul and you could tell they cared.
And Waful, he's on par with CK5. Thought I'd share that I am now an UM fan, and hope to build on that one awesome show.
