Since forming in 2003 at Phish's It festival, U-Melt has continued to rise in the ranks of our nation's jambands. Regulars of the summer festival circuit and constant small venue tourers, U-Melt also has one of the most hectic tour schedules on the scene today. Having personally seen them only twice, both experiences have been quite worth it, and although they feature some of the most atrocious vocals of any touring band, when they lock up in a groove, it's something special. It is clear that all four members of U-Melt are extremely seasoned musicians who have enough experience playing as a band that they are able to build off of each other and create an ultimate progressive groove experience. This fall they will be hitting venues all over the northeast, which will eventually lead them to a post-moe. Halloween late-night gig. If you love great improvisational music from highly experienced musicians, I recommend you catch a show.
