YearsAlongTheSea Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 (edited) I don't really like them, but I know most of you love 'em so, here you go:UMPHREY’S MCGEE RELEASES A “B-SIDES†DOUBLE DISC SETTITLED THE BOTTOM HALFON APRIL 3, 2007.LOOK FOR THE BAND ON TOUR THIS SPRING.On April 3, 2007 Umphrey’s McGee releases a double disc B-Sides album – a spontaneous and intriguing follow-up to their highly touted spring 2006 studio release Safety In Numbers. Titled The Bottom Half, disc one features ten songs that did not make it onto Safety In Numbers, while disc two offers outtakes, alternative versions of songs, a cappella recordings, and other bits from the band’s 2005 studio sessions. As with Safety In Numbers, famed album artist Storm Thorgerson has designed the artwork for The Bottom Half.Safety In Numbers attracted mountains of attention for Chicago’s rising stars during 2006. The highly anticipated album charted on Billboard’s Top 200 and on the coveted “Heatseekers†chart, and received a “4 Star†review in Blender magazine. Also in 2006, Umphrey’s McGee sold out shows in theaters coast to coast, appeared at Lollapalooza and Bonnaroo, and made their late night TV debut on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live. In addition, Guitar Player Magazine recently featured the band’s guitarists – Jake Cinninger and Brendan Bayliss – on their list of “Best Unsung Guitar Heroes.â€The current list of confirmed tour dates is as follows:February 21 Culture Room Ft.

Their virtuoso playing and edgy songcraft recently compelled RollingStone to choose Umphrey’s “a band to watch†in their annual Hot Issue. Relix magazine put them on the cover of their December 2004 issue and the prestigious Chicago Music Awards bestowed upon Umphrey’s McGee the coveted Best Rock Entertainer of the Year award. Booked coast to coast by the Monterey Peninsula Booking Agency, the band recently sold out three nights at Chicago’s Aragon Ballroom, two nights at Irving Plaza, San Francisco’s Fillmore Auditorium, and the list goes on.

Schwa. Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 hitting up Pontiac in March and then Toronto and Buffalo in April. i think there was a post about this some time ago YATS, hence your 'lack of love' but I love the music they make and get giddy just thinking about the upcoming shows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YearsAlongTheSea Posted February 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 i think there was a post about this some time ago YATS, hence your 'lack of love'I don't see the correlation between a previous post and my lack of love for Umphrey's. I just thought I'd spread some knowledge to some people who might appreciate it. That's where the love comes in. It's all about the love...

StoneMtn Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 It says there are other dates to be announced. I happen to know of a promoter who has been trying to land them for a show (somewhere other than Ontario) on a date that I see is not yet taken.Does anyone know where I can see an updated tour list? Can someone just post that here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schwa. Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 The show in Pontiac was awesome but there was a ton on newer stuff that i didn't know so well in the first set. I would have rather been at the shows on the 15th or 17th for their setlists but we had a super good time with some super good peeps! See ya in Toronto in April Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
