The UMS July 19th-22nd South Broadway
The Knew
Where and when are you playing at the UMS?
Hi! This is Ty
here. We are playing 3 Kings at 10 pm
on Saturday.
How long has your band been together?
7 years.
What was your band's first live show/ performance and what
was memorable about it?
Herman's Hideaway New Talent Night on a Wednesday at 7:30 pm
SHARP. I remember nothing. Or, I try to remember nothing.
What was the first album you purchased?
Pearl Jam Ten on both CD and tape.
What album was your most recent purchase?
Cock Sparrer Shock Troops
Do you have any advice for new bands?
Buy a van.
Besides your own band- who do you want to see at the UMS?
Pat and I caught Native Daughters at the Bluebird earlier
this Summer and were floored, so we are excited to play just a couple slots after
them. Gonna check out Kitzeh, Faceman's
Quartet, Outfit, Dragondeer, Izcalli, Sid Pink and DOGBREATH. And hopefully
another 100 bands. The UMS rulz.
Best past UMS experience?
We played as an 8-piece last year, so that was pretty 10th
Ave Freeze-out.
Do you have any tips for festival goers?
Tom Murphy would be the best person to ask about this. That guy knows his stuff.
What's the best food people can find on Broadway during the
festival?
People say the ice cream place, but mixing that with beer is
a sure fire way to get an iffy stomach.
I'd say stick with pizza, sandwiches, and tacos. However, Tim says Spicy Basil because no one
goes there - get drunken noodles and a thai iced tea.
Who is your all time favorite Denver band?
Collectively, I gotta say we'd go with Slim Cessna's Auto Club, but
individually it'd be Patrick Lee (Ty), TurboKnifeFight (Jake), American Relay
(Pat), The Denver Gentlemen (Tim).
If you were behind the counter at Twist and Shout, what
three albums would you recommend to our customers?
This is just me here, but, The Streets Computers and Blues,
The Streets A Grand Don't Come For Free, The Streets The Hardest Way to Make an
Easy Living. I want you to be tight
with Mike Skinner.
Jacob would currently say Blind Melon Blind Melon, Sissy And
The Blisters Let Her Go, Die Antwoord, Ten$ion.
Tim would attempt to convince someone to buy the Sonic
Avenues Television Youth, the Mind Spiders S/T, Summer Vacation Condition, Iron
Chic Shitty Rambo, Diarrhea Planet Loose Jewels, and Innaway 2.
Is there anything we forgot to ask you about the UMS that
you think people need to know?
You will see some people with impractical footwear. As for the music, "go on and move with
it if you need to...it helps me." (Buck Swope)
Ian Cooke

Our homies, crushes and lovers Eldren. Petals of Spain, In the Whale, Churchill,
The Say So, the list goes on and on. Also, Nathaniel Rateliff is the tits.
Best past UMS experience?
Besiiiiiiides seeing a heap of awesome Denver bands... I had
an amazing underdog shuffleboard win with Tyler (Eldren) last year at the
Skylark. We wanted to play our friends,
but a tyrannic shuffleboard hustler was bogarting the table like a
jerkweed. If we won, we could play our
friends. After an epic win, playing our
friends didn't even matter.
Do you have any tips for festival goers?
Enjoy yourself. And
drink only as much as your body can fit.
What's the best food people can find on Broadway during the
festival?
AREPAS! Sputnik's
food kicks an enormous amount of ass, and El Diablo too, provided that they
reopen in time!

Can we do more than one? Eldren, Rose Hill Drive (Boulder),
Earth Wind & Fire (World)
If you were behind the counter at Twist and Shout, what
three albums would you recommend to our customers?
As far as newerish albums go, we'd say Jack White's newest,
Band of Skulls' Sweet Sour, and Gnarls Barkley St. Elsewhere

you think people need to know?

YOU DON'T, EVERYTHING YOU'VE ALWAYS FEARED ABOUT THE FUTURE WILL COME TRUE.
