using your own money to buy?
I bought the soundtrack for the Disney

see at UMS this year? Who are some of your highlights?
I haven't planned it out yet, but I
want to see American Blackout and Filthy T.

three words would you use to describe it?
Sweaty, Hipsters, Beards
What has been your most memorable
experience at UMS to date?
Dude, if you remember it you weren't

for making the UMS experience even better?
100 sunblock, and I'm pretty much a
novice so someone can kindly give me some advice.
Is there any place you're looking
forward to eating during UMS?
I like eating at Thai Monkey Club
What is your favorite shop on South
Broadway?
Something that's not gentrified.
Who is your all time

Is there anything we forgot to ask you
about the UMS that you think people need to know?

the first time and have some surprises planned in the set ;)

using your own money to buy?
Dustin
Morris - Motley Crue

Slaton - Ace of Base
Do you have any advice for new bands?
Work
hard at honing in your sound, but give equal dedication to building your bands
business plan, creating short/long term goals and building good relationships
in your home market.
Have you planned out who you want to
see at UMS this year? Who are some of your highlights?
Milo
Greene, Residual Kid, Wiredogs and far too many more to list off.

three words would you use to describe it?
INSPIRING.
SWEATY. MEMORABLE
What has been your most memorable
experience at UMS to date?
We
wound up jumping through the window of our venue in 2013 and proceeded to take
the last song out on the sidewalk and wound up singing in a food truck line.
Any tips you'd like to give the novices
for making the UMS experience even better?
Catch
as many bands as you can don't forget to drink water every three whiskeys.

Where/
When are you playing for the UMS?
Saturday,
July 25th 6pm at Historians Ale House
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.
Singer-songwriter
lyrics and melodies, in a package of beats and synths designed to make your
shoulders move.
What
was the first music you remember using your own money to buy?
I
think it was a Switchfoot album!
Do
you have any advice for new bands?
Don't
be scared to ask for favors, even if you don't think you deserve them.
Obviously that has to be paired with hard work on your end, but I definitely
learned that I can't do everything on my own, and people are usually more
willing to help you than you'd expect.
Have
you planned out who you want to see at UMS this year? Who are some of your
highlights?
I
am really excited to see Tennis, I've wanted to seem them play for years and
somehow it hasn't happened yet! I'm also prioritizing
Force Publique, Jilly.fm, Oko Tygra, Bollywood Life, Coastal Wives and Rose
Quartz.
If
you've been to UMS before, what three words would you use to describe it?
Social.
Busy. Party.
What
has been your most memorable experience at UMS to date?
Seeing
Gardens & Villa play the main stage last year. They've been one of my
favorite bands for years, and body rolling outside to "Orange
Blosoom" was perfect!
Any
tips you'd like to give the novices for making the UMS experience even better?
Map
out who you want to see and saturate yourself in the experience. Last year I
wasn't able to make it to a lot of shows, and I felt like I didn't make the
most of what was happening! It's a rare experience to have a festival like this
in Colorado, take advantage of it!
Is
there any place you're looking forward to eating during UMS?
SPICY
BASIL ALL DAY.
What
is your favorite shop on South Broadway?
I
love Steadbrook; I think they've done something so unique in the way they've
made their store a social hub. I don't have much reason to be at a menswear
store, but between the coffee and company I usually end up there when I'm in
Denver!
Who
is your all time favorite Colorado band?
I'd
have to say Tennis, I just can't help but smile when I listen to their music!
Is
there anything we forgot to ask you about the UMS that you think people need to
know?
Just
encourage people to plug into the social media side of UMS; find them on
Instagram/Twitter/Snapchat. I love connecting that way, and it's fun for us
bands to see what people are posting about our sets, as well!
