The 10th Annual UMS Conquers Denver!
The Underground Music Showcase, or better known to locals as The UMS, took Denver by storm this year as it celebrated its 10th anniversary. And after 10 years, the festival brought its best talent, biggest turnout, and most memorable moments yet. It kicked off on Wednesday with Civil Twilight, Paper Tongues, and Neon Trees at the Bluebird Theater. Tragic Kingdom favorite, Neon Trees, and my new friend, lead singer Tyler Glenn, set the bar for an incredible Denver weekend. And once the festival began on South Broadway, it was non-stop madness. Each venue delivered incredible sets, including the outdoor stage which featured some of my highlights, including Lilly Scott, The Rogue, Houses, and the weekend’s headliner, Flobots.
A big thank you to Denver and all who came out to make The UMS 2010 its best yet. And thanks to Floyd’s 99 Barbershops for assisting in bringing in Flobots and putting together this recap video below.
