Ume - "Conductor" - SXSW 2010 Showcasing Artist
Loading...
Uploaded by sxsw on Feb 15, 2010
Ume (pronounced ooo-may) is an Austin trio with an explosive yet sweet aesthetic that seems to be catching folks off guard - in a very good way. Their sound has been described as balancing "pop hooks and sweet female vocals with crazy heavy riffing" (Chromewaves), "poppy and surprisingly heavy... powerful and charming" (Brooklyn Vegan), "beautiful, brutal... and completely unpretentious" (Austin Sound).
Ume self-released their Sunshower EP in 2009, followed by three national tours, including dates with Polvo, The Meat Puppets, and Cymbals Eat Guitars, as well as performances at NXNE, CMJ, and Athfest. With constant DIY touring (they've self-booked over 300 shows) and a legitimately intense live show, the band has garnered the praise of new fans including Joan Jett, Bryan Poole of Of Montreal, and Dave Allen of Gang of Four, who named Sunshower one of the top ten records of 2009.
