Umphrey’s McGee Sends An S.O.S. To The World In Chicago With Support From Eggy & Stolen Gin [Photos/Videos]
After kicking off a run with Eggy and Stolen Gin in St. Louis on Thursday, Umphrey’s McGee continued on to Chicago for a Friday night throwdown at The Salt Shed. Following an opening set from Stolen Gin, Eggy took the opportunity to debut a new cover, “I Am Trying To Break Your Heart” by Wilco. Umphrey’s then delivered one jam-packed set rather than the usual two. Highlights included the band’s first cover of The Police‘s “Message in a Bottle” since Halloween 2019 and the encore, which began with a culinary theme—”In The Kitchen” > “Soul Food I” > “Soul Food II”—and finished with “Come As Your Kids”, a clever arrangement blending Nirvana‘s “Come as You Are” with MGMT‘s “Kids”.

2024 DNC – History doesn’t repeat, but it does rhyme: The 2024 DNC crushes the demons of 1968 DNC
As Democrats gather in Chicago for their national convention, echoes of the 1968 Democratic National Convention linger. The 1968 convention, marked by political chaos, social upheaval, and violent clashes between anti-war protesters and police, casts a shadow over the current gathering. The parallels between then and now are striking, with unexpected political developments, such as an incumbent president bowing out and heightened tensions from international conflicts, adding to the sense of historical déjà vu. However, unlike the division of 1968, today’s Democratic Party shows a rare unity behind Vice President Kamala Harris following President Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the race.
