Umphrey’s McGee: Hall of Fame Class of 2012
From Umphrey’s McGee
“Hall of Fame: Class of 2012 is finally here. You voted on the most noteworthy performances of the year, the votes have been tallied, and the master tapes are being compiled into an idealized 3+ hour “show” based on your favorites. The best of the best of 2012 is being edited and re-mastered for a plethora of digital, vinyl and custom options.
This year, we have decided to take this interactive experience a step further by crowdsourcing the creation of the HOF album. We are partnering with PledgeMusic to not only offer a wider variety of HOF offerings than ever before but also to give all pledgers at any level access to a special ‘pledger-only’ part of the site. There you will find exclusive updates throughout the process: you’ll be able to see videos, photos, and audio of the entire process of putting the Hall of Fame together.
Want a peek behind the curtain of the voodoo editing process? Ever seen vinyl being pressed at the plant? How about band members customizing the LP sleeves? Who knows, you might even get a few bonus tracks that didn’t make the final release or other goodies that are kicking around UM HQ! ::wink, wink:: Please take a few minutes to check out the offerings, support the cause and spread the word. The more participation we get, the easier it is to throw more content to all you pledgers! As always, thanks for lettin’ us do what we do.”

Video: OHMphrey “Someone Said You Were Dead” (Live) and Upcoming Shows
From OHMphrey
“OHMphrey, the brainchild of three members of the Chicago-based jam-band Umphrey’s McGee (keyboardist Joel Cummins, guitarist Jake Cinninger and drummer Kris Myers) and OHM guitarist Chris Poland, a legendary player who’s perhaps best known for work with headbanging pioneers Megadeth, and bassist Robertino Pagliari (a.k.a. “Pag”), unleashes their improv-heavy self-titled debut – a record that assimilates not only disparate musical genres but the individual playing styles of everyone involved.”

Video: New Album “Death By Stereo: The Trailer” by Umphrey’s McGee
From Amazon.com
“Chicago-based Umphrey’s McGee returns this fall with a new studio album, Death By Stereo, available on 9/13 via ATO Records. Over the past 13 years, the group has built a rabid fan base through endless touring and more than 120 shows a year. They have released 11 albums, nearly every live show for 6+ years and sold more than 1.5 million digital tracks. Death By Stereo is the much-anticipated followup album to their critically-acclaimed 2009 studio release Mantis, which was praised in top outlets like Rolling Stone, The New York Times and The Washington Post. Mantis included a groundbreaking pre-order campaign, which sold over 8000 units in the first week and debuted at #62 on the Billboard chart.”
“Death By Stereo is a hybrid of what makes Umphrey’s McGee so appealing to a wide spectrum of music fans. Filled with a healthy combination of focused, hard-hitting rock songs & head bobbing, groove-driven tracks, the record has something for everybody. The new album features a smattering of road-tested fan favorites as well as some of the slickest, unreleased compositions the band has released to date.”
“Umphrey’s McGee’s constantly evolving sound channels a wide spectrum of influences while still preselVing their distinct voice through crafty songwriting. With a massive repertoire of originals and note-perlect covers, their live shows are like flipping through the presets on your radio dial. Their A.DD. approach to ”progressive improvisation” utilizes a set of Zappa-inspired hand signals allowing them to orchestrate their melodic creations on the fly. ”
