Looks like my wish for an UMBowl coach tour came true...now we can all enjoy!

[MVDMB]

Holy shit I just may have to pony up for this.

[MVDMB]

Seriously, get everybody you can to vote for I Just Wanna Dance by Space Capone. It is hands down, the grooviest song of all time. Check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAH9DgGB7oU

[420th jimi]

Pretty stoked for UMBowl on Saturday! I'll be staying at the Courtyard in Rye and hitting up Bartaco before the show, perhaps I'll see some of you there!

[shaggo91]

[m_dubb]

Super Jelly of all you going to UMBowl and the N2F party! I'll be raging with you from the couch on Saturday!

[420th jimi]

Oh wow. Jumping right into the deep end! Im sure you've already familiarized yourself with the structure of each set/quarter. Make sure you have a phone charger to keep that sucker charged for voting, etc. Stay hydrated! Have a blast and prepare to have your face raged off!

I tend to find jumping into the deep end first is always much more fun. Very, very excited for this.

still getting into the UM, but I wish I had the slightest idea why this makes them the best band ever. I do like what I hear. just wish I knew more about them to appreciate the above more...maybe I will in a few months!

been following this band since 2008 and their setlists still throw me for a loop sometimes.

they are so random, crazy, and awesome.

[m_dubb]

Couched UMBowl on Satuday. So good. Digging Onward and Upward. Just started listening to last night's Bill GrahUM show . Cannot wait for Red Rocks! #Yolorado

[mja271]

Any chance somebody could throw up the Similar Skin debut last night on a soundcloud link or something? Working and would love to hear it.

At UMBowl the attendees get to vote for what is played next, how it's payed, etc live as the show go on. So it's sort of a completely spontaneous show, and it usually results in some incredible improve (see the Soaring Uplifting Jam from a few years back for a great example).

Fun weekend. Really fun.
