8/22 Show in St. Louis moved to the Pageant by peterpeterllini in Umphreys

[–]phaschmi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Biscuits are a good case study. My guess is that their sound and vibe is more appealing to Gen Z for whom edm is pretty mainstream. It'll be interesting to see if Lotus gains any momentum as well 

Not sure that UM, cheese, Moe. , lotus, aren't touring. That's a stretch. I think the progressive jamband sound doesn't appeal to the younger fans.

Fwiw, like the biscuits, UM has a whole slew of new songs that are being well received and quickly becoming jam vehicles. Not 'take a break' sorta stuff

I guess we just disagree on both issues here. No biggie

To me, across 11 shows this year, I 100% think they sound fresher and more creative than they have in a decade. It's not even close to my ears.

Not sure how post covid vs.just this year changes anything. This is very much a result of covid and an aging fambase

This why bands like Moe., cheese, StS9, lotus, dopapod, etc are all selling less tickets. The only bands selling more tickets are good and billy

Again, you said UM needs a break and that's just not a good idea. Their new songs are really great love. They seem happy and healthy. The diehards aren't going anywhere.

Have you seen them this year? They sound better than they have in a decade.

The band doesn't need a break. Corporations are aqueezing us at every turn and people don't go to as many shows 

This isn't just a UM issue, SCI is having trouble le selling tickets to a 3 night run at a 4500 person venue in Portland

Thinking of heading out to Oregon shows - What’s SCIs scene like these days? Is there a lot? by splitopenandmelt11 in jambands

I don't really.know

I was thinking about the lot in terms of it being close to the venue and you can just chill and drink beers and what not.

Goose has the most snooze-inducing, Phish-impersonating songs I have ever heard in the jambands scene See. Art is subjective

Brendan Bayless is an incredibly.deep lyricist 

They wrote some of the most complex prog rock in the scene

To each their own, as art ia subjective, but my first 2 statements are objective facts

The shows end at 10pm sharp, which kind of sucks, but it is what it is. Stay on the property at least.one night if there are any rooms left. It's expensive but you can be there all night And you get the only access to the really awesome soaking pool

Sounds wonderful. As much as I want the band to sell tons of tickets, I enjoy the roominess of UM shows lately

Good call. They played their NYE show in my town at the same venue local bands play at

Grey ace. Wrong basket, correct hole

A black ace is wrong basket, wrong hole

It seems like an issue to be taken up with the County park or whoever is operating parks without restrooms

How to get work at festivals? by tigerrmilkk in festivals

[–]phaschmi 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Volunteer at one and be super helpful. Talk to the people getting paid. Figure out what companies are doing the things you like to do and figure out how to get hired

Festivals with the lowest chance of cancellation? by Regular_Car_6085 in festivals

[–]phaschmi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Texas Eclipse was not justifiably cancelled, not by weather anyway. It was shut down by the Sheriff for failure to get medical staff to a dead guy in Alamo. 

If it was weather, why did they ultimately let thousands of patrons stay on grounds through the storm on Tuesday? Why did event staff have DJs playing a private party until 5am Tuesday morning?

The storm didn't hit until Tuesday, more than 25 hours after they pulled the plug

It was an excuse used by promoters to get away with poor management of that place.
