What is the UMS you ask? Well that's a silly question. Many have called the Denver Post Underground Music Showcase the "South by Southwest of Denver." Originally a one day, four band gig at the Bluebird, this showcase has bounced between Bluebird and Gothic before finally moving (and exanding) to South Broadway in the historic Baker district. Otherwise known as the hipster herding grounds. Excerpted directly from the UMS About page: "At the UMS , the presentation of the music is as important as the music itself.

Yesterday was the 15th Annual Westword Music Showcase and one of the best turnouts I've seen at this Denver event.

I've only seen them once since they opened for Langhorne Slim last year, but that didn't really [...]

A few weeks ago, I helped dragged a table out into a bar parking lot on a lovely Sunday afternoon and interviewed last summer's winners of Denver's best alt-country band title, The Hollyfelds . They have a new EP coming out Friday, and they played at our Hillbilly Prom last weekend (oh wait, that was the Lurleens ). Feel free to jet on over to Gigbot.com and see what we had to talk about .
