Video: Pay What You Want for the Umphrey’s Bundle
Groupees, an innovative new flash sale platform featuring digital media content from leading independent artists, announced today that it will be launching its next promotion featuring Chicago’s improg sensation, Umphrey’s McGee. Slated to start Wednesday, April 13th at noon, the Umphrey’s Bundle will run for 72 hours and is priced using “Pay What You Want” which allows fans to name their price with a minimum of $5 (products retail for $24). The Umphrey’s Bundle also includes a special bonus product if the promotion’s goal of 10,000 purchases is met:
Never before heard Umphrey’s track (currently still in production)
Here’s the chance to hear it before it becomes a live staple! All participating fans will receive the mp3 once the sales threshold is attained.
The Umphrey’s Bundle includes:
- Mantis– Umphrey’s McGee’s latest studio album which Rolling Stone called “… their slickest and most ambitious tunes yet.”
- Live from Toad’s Place Acoustic– In April of 2009, the band snuck back into the legendary hole in the wall that is Toad’s Place for an extremely rare, 2 set acoustic show. They ditched the amps for bar stools and let it all hang out in celebration of drummer Kris Myers birthday. This intimate recording showcases the band in a relaxed & festive environment and allows their midwestern humor and musical sensibilities to shine through. The set list is comprised of a slew of fan favorites (including the debut of Ride On Pony) as well several classic cover tunes from Bob Seger to Pink Floyd.
- Linear– The energy was palpable this evening as the band kicked off its 2 night Halloween run at the majestic Pageant Theater in St. Louis, MO. This video highlights the band’s seamless blend of styles as they interweave electronic grooves with razor sharp rock licks. Combine that with robust lighting production and Halloween teases sprinkled throughout and you’ve got yourself a weighty and wildly entertaining 12+ minutes.
- Tool Meets Umphrey’s– Hot of the presses from this year’s UMBowl, this video is the essence of UM. During this one of a kind event, fans submitted themes in real time via text message and choice submissions were selected as a basis for their improvisation. This captures Umphrey’s unique ability to compose on the spot using loosely discussed ideas.

2011 Jamband Tourney Champion ~ moe.
Big Thanks! to anyone that has voted throughout the tournament. We have been extremely pleased with the turnout and all the positive feedback we’ve received. The Finals seemed to have surprised many of us, and moe. pretty much dominated from start to finish. The fact is that moe. fans hit the message boards and actively spread the word to their fellow moe.rons. Nothing was rigged, moe. fans just wanted it more.
Remember, upsets happen and that’s why we play the game. In my opinion this debate is what has made the tournament fun. Hope everyone enjoyed participating and we’ll begin work on the next tourney very soon. We are still sifting through ideas for our next tournament, so please share your ideas with us if you have any good ones.
On a similar note we are looking for some new Bracketologists (music fans to help brainstorm and seed the tournaments) for our future tournaments. We are accepting applications that will be voted on by the public with the winners joining our team. We will be announcing details on this very soon, but go ahead and start working on your resume.
Obviously we can’t please everyone and of course there is always room for improvement so please continue to send us your thoughts at TheHippieSeed@gmail.com.
The End of The New Deal?
From TheNewDeal.com
“The New Deal has decided that 2011 will mark the end of a spectacular 12-year career.
It has been an amazing run for the band and we appreciate the loyal and dedicated tND fanbase across North America and Asia. Our individual lives have taken very different paths with family, living abroad, and other various projects. We have come to a point where the time and commitment that it takes to maintain our band at its best is no longer possible. As a group, we’ve never been known to go halfway, so we have decided to end things with a great run of summer and fall shows that we hope to be the best yet.”
