UMBOWL 4th Quarter Announced, On Sale Next Week

Umphrey's McGee continues their attempt to blur the line between band and fans with the announcement of their 2010 UMBowl.  Today comes the official explanation of the 4th Quarter as well as ticketing details, which include an extremely reasonable $99 pricetag.  I know some may consider this expensive for a "smaller" band, but having been privy to the band's behavior at one of their equally priced, albeit more exclusive S2 events, I have no doubts that the fans lucky enough to get tickets will be getting their walletsworth.  And then some.

Presale tickets go on sale March 3rd at noon CT through UMTicketing with the public onsale March 5th, same bat time, through Lincoln Hall Ticketing.  Good luck.  For more details head to UMBowl headquarters.

As you know, we don't believe in letting things wind down, so we are gonna take it up a level in the UMBowl's 4th Quarter (Q4). For Q4, YOU are the quarterback. Here is how it will work. The band will begin a set of UM classics, and along the way, you will be able to "call an audible" by texting in your vote as to which direction the band should go in.

As an example:

"Intentions Clear" begins, and four choices will be projected onto the screen:

A. Segue into a cover
B. Take the song into evil, minor key jam
C. Compose on the fly a soaring, major key "Jimmy Stewart," then return to Intentions Clear
D. Zappa-esque jam into Bridgeless

Voting occurs via text message and Offensive Coordinator Kevin will tally the votes and transmit the instructions to the band – you won't know what choice was made until the band begins to play it. You pick the plays and determine the strategy to make a killer set . . . the ebb and flow is up to you.
