The Macpodz at Summer Camp 2010
The Macpodz are a tried and tested band from Ann Arbor Michigan that bring a lot to the table for a jam band. And they don’t have a guitar player, either. Brennan explained in an exclusive interview with BTJ that this puts them in a great position to be able to jam with some of the best guitar players around. This time it was Jake Cinninger from Umphrey’s Mcgee joining them on stage to jam. Video from the interview posted soon. The heat was sweltering – the barricades too hot to touch. These guys drew a moderate crowd of people who all seemed to completely love their unique blend. We’re sure to see more collaboration, touring…

Umphrey’s McGee Delivers Unique Experience at UMBOWL 2010

Review & Photos: Umphrey’s McGee | 3.4.2010 | Buffalo
Umphrey’s McGee continued a white-hot East Coast run Thursday night at the Town Ballroom, a spot that’s become a regular stop for this prog-rock machine. They brought an opening act with them this time, Uglysuit, a 6 piece that brought some solid energy to the stage with Joel from UM joining on keys for a couple. UM took the stage with Kris Myers getting the crowd riled up, sporting a Myers Sabres jersey and inducing USA! USA! chants from the rowdy sold-out crowd. Joel let the fans know their patriotic cheers would get a worthy song, which turned out to be the instrumental Glory after a Jazz Odyssey opened the set. Buffalo fans were treated…
