Mulches is :fire::fire::fire::fire::fire::fire::fire::fire::fire::fire::fire:

Who is Chris Friday? And WTF is this weird-ass song?

Love the #looks of that second set

2nd set looks great.

They also need to bring BLBC back into regular rotation again.

Damn that looks (jo) really fun

I think it’s purposely bad but fuck is Taste the Biscuit awful. Tragic for the wild card slot

Hopefully it’s the last time that Bayliss thinks this is funny.

Looks like a banging show, can’t wait to listen


From my brother who lives in Burlington: show was solid, band was loose and clearly having fun. Smaller crowd compared to last year, but somewhat attributed to northlands, as a lot of the “regulars” at higher ground were absent.

PS. Long time viewer, first time posting…I enjoy what the bort provides for my umphreys fandom.

What a grand ol’ time. You can feel the energy in that room, man.. I listened to 10/16/2013 so much I feel like it spawned on another monster Dump in the same room shrug grasping at straws aside, what. A. Show.

Whole 2nd set alone was worth the price of admission, another casual 5 song s2, what a treat! One of the better opening s2 1, 2 punches I’ve seen. S1 is no slouch either, funny seeing a Taste The Biscuit cc ITK, Mulche’s and 2nd half of Fir

Neat room to see em in, glad I made the trek.

VT is gorgeous state. Over&out!
