When are you playing for the UMS?Sunday, July 21st 10pm @ The HiDive
In twenty-five words or less, describe what somebody who has never heard of your band might expect from your performance at UMS this year.
We started the 90's pop punk band that we never got around to starting in the 90's. Influenced by Samiam, Seaweed and Hot Water Music.
What was the first music you remember using your own money to buy?
If I remember correctly it was The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Coming Out of Their Shell sold at Pizza Hut
What has been your favorite album of 2013 so far?
I've listening to the shit out of Bad Religion True North
Do you have any advice for new bands?
Have fun! The only person standing in your way is you.
Have you planned out who you want to see at UMS this year? Who are some of your highlights?
Joy Subtraction, Native Daughters, Andy Thomas, The Knew, Land Lines, Steak Cattle Cattle Steak, The Reckless Nights, In the Whale, Allout Helter, and The Royal. It wouldn't be a UMS with out seeing Matt Clark play.
If you've been to UMS before, what three words would you use to describe it?
Drink, Drank, Drunk
What has been your most memorable experience at UMS to date?
I was lucky enough to play in a Descendents cover band with some friends, titled "Coverage" 2 UMS' ago. We got to be the very last band of the weekend at 3 Kings. It was a lot of fun!
Any tips you'd like to give the novices for making the UMS experience even better?
I think if you just go, it's impossible to have a bad time.
Is there any place you're looking forward to eating during UMS?
I love the food trucks, so we'll have to see who makes an appearance this year.
What is your favorite shop on South Broadway?
Who has time for shopping when there are soooooo many places to drink and play pinball!
Who is your all time favorite Colorado band?
I initially want to say Planesmistakenforstars, but I have to remind myself they are actually an Illinois band. So I go with my good friends, Pinhead Circus.
You're working the counter at Twist & Shout, and a customer is interested in expanding his music collection. What three albums would you recommend?
If I was working in a record store I guess my response would have to be "You don't know?!" (a little record store humor for ya)

Wave. Not sure if it's new for this year, but it's rocking my 2013
something fierce.
Do you have any advice for new

There's always
someone out there working harder than you. If you're going to do this, do it
for real. No half-assing.
Have you planned
out who you want to see at UMS this year? Who are some of your highlights?
Super excited to
watch In The Whale, Anthony Ruptak, Sauna, The Epilogues, Photo Atlas... SO
many good bands. Also excited to get to watch the bands I've heard of, but

What has been your most memorable
experience at UMS to date?
Getting kissed by a
stranger... It was odd, we were watching Atlas Sound, and this gal I said hello
to a few minutes before just turned around, grabbed the back of my head and
made out with me. I would've reacted, but she did it so quick, that before I
realized her tongue was navigating the inside of my mouth, she had turned
around and made her way into the crowd, never to be seen again.
Any tips you'd like to give the novices for making the UMS experience even
better?
Aye! Make sure you plan ahead! I got frustrated my first
year because I just waltzed in and missed tons of bands I like either because I
didn't know they were playing or because I was late. Also, don't be afraid to
break off from your friends and experience something on your own. Music is so
much about community, and you'll see it's true when you leave with several new
friends (or random kisses).
Is there any place you're looking forward to eating during UMS?
Sputnik and Illegal Pete's! Two awesome comfort foods for
me, but I'll make sure to try new things this year... Also planning on picking
up on some Sweet Action.
What is your favorite shop on South Broadway?
Definitely Buffalo Exchange. Because it's so cheap to get
fly there, I have money left over for the other cool shops too!
Who is your all time favorite Colorado band?
Gonna have to go with In The Whale there. So fun. So much
attitude and such nice guys.
You're working the counter at Twist & Shout, and a

Dear In The Headlights' Mama I'm Swollen, and Delta Spirit's Ode to
Sunshine.

What has been your favorite album of 2013 so far?
Now that you mention it......I don't know if I listened to
one single record released in 2013. Closest was maybe Turbonegro Sexual
Harassment. Oh...and my record came out this year. That was pretty cool.
Do you have any advice for new bands?
I wise man once told me "you meet the same people on
the way up as you meet on the way down". Just be cool to people and can
the shit-talk. Oh and drummers...stop breaking down/setting up on stage. Do it
off to the side before/after your set. You look like a rude dick-head when you
stand on stage for 20 minutes packing up your kit.
Speedwolf, for sure. Calders Revolvers, Native Daughters, Mudhoney, Zebroids, Blue Rider....jeez there's a lot of rad bands playing...

Pace yourself. 4 days of barhopping and rocking out will
bust your melon if you're not careful.

greasy and weird.
