UMS, 2010...

For this year's Denver Post Underground Music Showcase the guys moved their way up in the polls. Yeah that's right this year I forgot to remind all of you to go online and vote, but the guys still managed to move their way up to #33. Here are a few pictures and videos from the Ideal Father's show on the outdoor stage this past Friday.

Please note the duct tape on the skinny silver polls holding up the stage. Proving once again that Duct Tape really is the handy man's best weapon. Shannon, Joel, and I were convinced that the guys would bring the stage down and we were going to either be crushed by the falling truck or we would have to catch the guys as they came crashing down. Duct tape proved us wrong this time. Thankfully.

New Song... Untitled from Erin Wilson on Vimeo.

This is a random minute long new song the guys came up with on the fly at practice about 2 weeks ago now. Apparently Jesse had some dream about them writing a new song, so he was telling the guys about it and they started goofing around and this is what they came up with. Its not much for now, but it sure had them all excited. I think they've been stuck in a song writing rut and this is just the thing to get them back into the groove of things.

 

This video is of their last and final song at the show. Jesse decided the duct tape stage just wasn't enough room for him to move around on.
