The nineteen-show trek, kicking off October 3rd at the Highline Ballroom in New York City, will feature familiar stops in familiar cities, as the dynamic quartet closes out the year, including a U-Melt Halloween spectacular, which will be held this year at the brand new The Westcott Theater in Syracuse, NY.

I don't know if it's just cuz I'm tired - I hate negative comments. But this band really just sounds like the most mediocre jam band ever. The first 1:50 of that video left me extremely unsatisfied. I hope they live up to their band name, but it doesn't seem like it. The vocals were probably the most disappointing part.

Cola, do yourself a favor and get out to see the band live. Much better in a crowd than on Utube stills. Ton of fun live, they tore it up at Moedown this year. Have seen em several times now, and will catch a few dates on this run.

I don't know how U-Melt can be boring, there are so many other jam bands out there that sounds mediocre... U-Melt put up a hell of a show. They tore it down at moe.down...it was freaking ridiculous...They are getting better and better all the time tho, and they feed off of the crowd a lot too, see them with a huge crowd, they will surprise you.

I agree, they are amazing live! This video doesn't do them justice. I def wouldn't have picked this video to watch if you are just getting into the band. Check out this one (it's one of my favorites)

Vibes at U-melt shows are as good as anywhere, good time dance party. Time to start thinking of a Halloween Costume.

I've seen them a few times, they are alright, but I have to agree, they're kind of boring. Funny how everyone who says they aren't boring also likes moe, another band I think is alright, but boring. Not trying to talk shit, just saying maybe if you like moe you'll like them, and if you find moe boring you'll find them boring.

anyone who was at there nye show last year instantly became a fan of umelt. They tore it up at moe.down this year too. do yourself a favor and download the unbelievable meltdown, every song rocks. you have to download it though because the cd is out of print.

i don't exactly dig every single thing i hear from u-melt, but i can say their latenight show at this year's SummerCamp was nothing short of fantastic. i knew they were going to be good but then they really surprised me by blowing my mind. so i'm not their biggest fan, but i'm still pissed they're not coming 'round my way. i can't wait to check them out live again.

i see what you are saying but i think maybe a lot of moe. fans like U-Melt b/c U-Melt has played with moe. at some 'big' moe. events such as NYE post show, moe.down, Summer Camp, and 4th of July show and it has giving people a chance to catch on to U-Melt.

They do indeed cover Zappa from time to time... they covered a whole Zappa album at a festie last year. Will be at NYC and Halloween for sure. Give em a chance, they are anything but boring live.

the band is not medicore, they actually have some of the most intense and complex compositions on the whole scene. They are not the band for you if you are just there for the party cause there is some serious music happening. They have, however raged it at every show I've seen.

I have never seen, or even listened to U-Melt and I'm not even about to but the highline show is stacked, Digital Frontier, Tucci, Psylab!!. hopefully I will like U-Melt but otherwise BoyzNoize is spinning on the otherside of town.

I never like to say anything bad about a band but i saw U-melt durring the spring and wasnt satified, it was only $10 for the show and was very close so id say it was worth it to see live music, but i really hope they do summin to improve cause i could use another good band to get excited to see now that moe. wont be playing for a while

Stick to the instrumentals, you can play the piano, please dont sing, so cheesy its abraisive. I also hate to be negative because it is really unneccesary, but rather than bite my tounge i have to say this is the most cookie cutter jamband ive ever heard.

U-Melt is the most exciting band on the scene. Anyone who says they are a phish or moe wanna-be is not really listening to their music at all. UMelt is one of the hardest working bands I know and it shows through their complex compositions, tight jams, and intense energy. I know I'll be at every show I can, near or far. Hope to see you there!
