As you all know, our favorite local music event of the year in Denver has always been the UMS, or Underground Music Showcase as all of you non-goers probably call it. Every year the bands that perform this event are promising, it’s some of the most highly-anticipated 4 days of our entire summer. Monika and I have had years of fun at this event listening to music, going to as many shows as possible without trying to ruin our carefully scheduled plan, drinking with the bands, taking pictures in photo booths, and supporting our scene(as usual). We may have been busy for awhile but we’re getting back into the kick of things and this year: we’re beyond stoked for UMS. The first trickles of bands were announced earlier this month and it’s already giving us goosebumps from excitement. We’re happy and proud to announce that the first bands to be listed are:

Cults

Mudhoney

Born In The Flood

Bleached

The Fresh & Onlys

Baywood

I don’t know about you, but hearing that Mudhoney will be playing Denver’s own UMS just about made me have a heart attack. We more than encourage you to go and buy your passes while they’re still cheap! This event is worth every single penny that you spend on it, plus more. Check it out, happy listening, and we’ll see you guys around soon.
