STG Presents Umphrey's McGee 10/22 At Showbox At The Market

Seattle Theatre Group (STG) presents Umphrey's McGee, with special guest Iration, on Thursday, October 22, 2009 at 8:00pm at Showbox at the Market.

Mantis is the epic new album by Midwestern monsters of improvised rock, Umphrey's McGee.

Consisting of Brendan Bayliss (guitar, vocals), Jake Cinninger (guitar, synthesizers, vocals), Joel Cummins (keyboards, vocals), Andy Farag (percussion), Kris Myers (drums, vocals), and Ryan Stasik (bass), Umphrey's McGee enters its second decade together with their most progressive, melodic and artistically cohesive album to date.

Mantis's delivery system is as innovative as the record itself. Pre-orders promise an unprecedented level of downloadable bonus content - including demos, live tracks, alternate takes, and fly-on-the-wall studio visits - that increase in quantity depending on how many pre-orders are received, putting the overall success of the pre-order in the hands of the fans. The more orders that come in, the more the fans will get. Mantis will also use innovative PUSH(TM) technology by Digital Insert to continue delivering exclusive bonus material throughout 2009 via a site that can only be accessed with a physical or digital copy of the album.

Founded in 1997 in The Shadows of the Golden Dome of Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana, Umphrey's McGee soon made Chicago home base, and set their sights on becoming one of the premier live acts in today's touring circuit. Over the course of the last ten years, the band has performed at festivals such as Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza, and continues to sell out shows in the nation's premier venues coast to coast. They have toured Europe multiple times and performed at Japan's Fuji Rock Festival in 2006. As their sound evolves with every passing show, the live concerts sold on their expansive music archive site UMLive.net continue to be in high demand by their hungry fan base. The second decade of Umphrey's McGee is fueled with Mantis in the tank, and the band shows no signs of letting up.

Umphrey's McGee will of course be performing music from Mantis throughout the year and long into the future.

So catch the buzz.
