Pumped for some more UM.

Presale Citi?

Don't think it's Citi pre-sale. Saw it on the Umph's facebook page so I'm assuming its open to all.

Nice, and remember, there is no letter P in Binghamton.

Full Frontal would have been my second favorite track on Similar Skin, behind Educated Guess. I like Full Frontal's vibe 10x more than most of SS. IMO they should record more instrumentals.
HoF 2013 is great, but, I mean, we knew it would be

For vinyl fans they'll be releasing a 7", aptly titled "Seven Inches" on Black Friday RSD.

October Rain/Room to Breathe

First vinyl release for the studio cut of Room to Breathe, as heard from the deluxe edition of SS. We've heard October Rain as a live intro but was allegedly an instrumental cut from SS that didn't make it through the whole process, so that should be cool to hear.

This has been a fantastic set. Really nice jams in Slacker, Driven to Tears, Similar Skin (!), huge outro to CW, and about to go off on CW2. Love these guys so much, pumped for Hallloweekend in Boston!

Saw them about a month ago and it was easily the best show I've seen this year. Granted it was my first show but I left beyond impressed.

[ricky towel]

Next week.

and a band called dopapod is opening for them, a friend told me they are good too.

that's what i like to hear

i'm kinda bummed that it'll be an indoor show but nonetheless...

[MVDMB]

Dopapod is really cool, definitely check them out.

Honestly, I much prefer seeing UM indoors than out fwiw. Unless we're talking Red Rocks.

I'll be hitting up that Northampton show in Febuary, if I have my count right I think that'll be #30 for me.

please do! have a great show :-)

[HoldemHart]

The thing that really jumped out to me about the UM show I saw was how much fun the guys on stage were having. It was almost as if they were having more fun than the people in attendance, who were absolutely losing their minds.

small indoor shows with UM are my favorite.

The Pageant in STL, Canopy Club in Urbana, and The Boulder Theatre here over the summer have been my favorite shows as far as venue goes.

Red Rocks is great too, obv, but I love being close to the action to rage with UM. This past year it was sooooo windy the sound was getting distorted. Literally the ONLY thing bad that can ever happen at red rocks is high winds or cold rain and snow.

interesting take

my one worry with the indoor show is that it wouldn't lend itself to taking full advantage of their light show. the indoor stage at this venue is significantly smaller than the outdoor stage (it's a duel venue, and a really sweet one at that)

hopefully it'll be ok

[skwormin]

yeah don't get me wrong, any UM show is incredible. I've seen the band so many times now (pushing 35 I think) that the light show is an afterthought for me.

But yeah, light shows at outdoor venues are incredible. Plus UM likes to pull out all the stops. They had flamethrowers at red rocks on stage last year. Fireworks lined up with 1348 at SummerCamp one year.

They don't mess around. No matter what you will leave the show in awe. I've never once not had an amazing time at an UM show. It just... doesn't happen.

[hailtopitt]

yea this will only be my 4th time seeing them but i've loved every show

not really up on their setlist tendencies like i am with DMB but most songs are great anyway

[ryguy469]

Watching the webcast from last night and this is a great first set. Really digging this Cemetery Walk II

[wampa3]

I'll be at the Pitt show tomorrow as well, you can find me in the back with the tapers probably wearing a DMB hat.

Don't worry man, the light show indoors is spectacular. I've seen them on some small stages recently and it's just as great.
