Where/ When are you playing for the UMS?
We have no idea, follow your heart
and it will lead you to our sweet ass rocking' show.
In twenty-five words or less, describe what somebody who
has never heard of you/your band might expect from your performance at UMS this
year.
Well if they never heard us then
I don't think they expect anything, but if I had to guess I would say
viking metal yodeling with a strong dub-step overtones peppered on a base of
fusion jazz. Its like touching someone using a remote controlled RC
car you know?
What
was the first music you remember using your own money to buy?
I bought
a teddy ruxpin when I was 7 from the kid up the street, he removed the teddy
tape and replaced with a Van Halen Tape, I started kicking ass right then and
there.
What
has been your favorite album of 2014 so far?
Old recordings of pirated
CB radio conversations between truckers traveling along I-70.
Do
you have any advice for new bands?
I do not
Have you planned out who you want to see at UMS this year?

Oh yeah
I wanna see all of the people.

Any
tips you'd like to give the novices for making the UMS experience even better?

cool kids are doing.

There is
a sandwich in every beer.

Gary Lee’s Motor Club and Grub
Where/ When are you playing for the UMS?
Sunday,
Venue TBA
In twenty-five words or less, describe what somebody who
has never heard of you/your band might expect from your performance at UMS this
year.
We like
to think of ourselves as "Roadhouse Rock and Roll". We have found
ourselves inspired by a plethora of artists like Old Crow Medicine Show, Paul
Simon, Elvis, and Woodie Guthrie. Basically, we just want people to dance and
party with us at a Parlor Pickers show.
What
was the first music you remember using your own money to buy?
I was a
pastor's kid, so my family was pretty strict about the music in our home...The
first tape I ever remember buying for myself was this christian rock guy named
"Mylon LeFevre". It was cheesy as hell.
What
has been your favorite album of 2014 so far?
The new
Damien Jurado is currently blowing my mind. Also, I think it technically came
out last year, but I just discovered Grandchildren - Golden Age and have
been listening to it a lot.
Do
you have any advice for new bands?
Don't
take it so seriously, have fun and make music you would want to listen
to.
Have you planned out who you want to see at UMS this year?
Who are some of your highlights?
I have
been a big Blonde Redhead fan for a long time, so I was really excited to see
them on the bill. Denver is full of incredible local music and we are insanely
excited to see old friends like Mosey West, The Wild After, etc. Maybe even
discover some new music.
If
you've been to UMS before, what three words would you use to describe it?
Sweaty,
Drunk, and Ridiculously fun.
What
has been your most memorable experience at UMS to date?
The
first time the Parlor Pickers ever played UMS was 4 years ago, it was a
Saturday night at the Irish Rover. I remember it being wall to wall people,
with listeners dancing on tables and singing along. It was one of the funnest
experiences we've had to date. The UMS concert goers were all there to have a
blast and party, and our first experience couldn't have reflected that any
more.
Any
tips you'd like to give the novices for making the UMS experience even better?
Plan on
just walking around and experiencing the wonderful Denver music scene. When it
comes time to perform, play as hard as you can and get sweaty.
Is
there any place you're looking forward to eating during UMS?
Illegal
Pete's, duh...
What
is your favorite shop on South Broadway?
Goodwill
Who
is your all time favorite Colorado band?
That is
a tough one. For me personally, it's 16HP / Wovenhand.
You're working the counter at Twist & Shout, and a
customer is interested in expanding his music collection. What three
albums would you recommend?
Beck - Morning
Phase, George Harrison - All Things Must Pass, and anything from Tennessee Ernie Ford

Eslinger Gallery
Where/ When are you playing for the UMS?
11:00 p.m. on Friday, July 25th at the Eslinger
Gallery, 118 S. Broadway
In twenty-five words or less, describe what somebody who
has never heard of you/your band might expect from your performance at UMS this
year.
No wacky outfits, some bald dudes, radical people. Angular power-emo rock
post-punk whatever fun.
What was the first music you remember using your own
money to buy?
Note: I was about 6 years old, I think it was a Terence Trent D’Arby cassette
tape. Good stuff. His music clearly didn’t influence me in the long
run.
What has been your favorite album of 2014 so far?
Floor – Oblation
Do you have any advice for new bands?
Don’t overdo the social media thing and don’t go trying too hard with being
unique (like releasing a f**king 8-track or something).
Have you planned out who you want to see at UMS this
year? Who are some of your highlights?
YES! Abrams, El Toro de la Muerte, Bonnie and the Beard, Accordion
Crimes, We are not a Glum Lot, Spells (I could go on and on…)
If you've been to UMS before, what three words would you
use to describe it?
Sweaty, loud, awesome.
What has been your most memorable experience at UMS to
date?
I don’t believe I was sober enough to retain UMS memories.
Any tips you'd like to give the novices for making the
UMS experience even better?
Hydrate! And don’t get impatient with lines. You can have just as
much fun people watching and chatting with the other awesome people in line
with you as you will once you get inside. Enjoy every minute of UMS.
Is there any place you're looking forward to eating
during UMS?
Pie Hole is always a good stop on S. Broadway. Surely there will be an
array of enticing food trucks lined up as well.
What is your favorite shop on South Broadway?
Ironwood
Who is your all time favorite Colorado band?
This is tough. Only Thunder is a big contender.
You're working the counter at Twist & Shout, and a
customer is interested in expanding his music collection. What three
albums would you recommend?
Botch – We are the Romans
Steely Dan – Aja
Gotta pick up a Merle Haggard & Willie Nelson collaboration album
too. It’s necessary.
Is there anything we forgot to ask you about the UMS that
you think people need to know?
Give new/different venues and new bands a chance. The worst that can
happen is that you’ll have to move on, the best is that you’ll totally fall in
love with another local Colorado band.
