Has UM's popularity declined?

New Cincy venue looks nice and I hope to check it out someday, but there’s not a whole lot of great stuff in the immediate area. It’s in an area called The Banks which is full of a bunch of sterile carbon copy joints. Yard House is decent if you like craft beer, but you can find those in a bunch of different cities. Covington and OTR are going to have much more interesting options.

The aquarium is a good idea. Depending on the weather Devou Park is pretty cool. Great views.

Is that the Recher show with that great Padgett’s lyrical?

It’s in Newport. Not the Banks

Holy shit there are TWO new venues in Cincinnati? When I heard new venue I assumed it was the new ICON Music Center.

A lot can change in 10 years brother

In a serious meme mood.

I do hope that these undersold shows are absolutely bonkers though. That would be cool

Not sure why I’m tricking myself into thinking they’ll play well this weekend

Because truth be told, it has the makings to be a throwdown:

  1. Upstate NY
  2. Undersold shows

It’s only missing the “midweek” portion to meet the trifecta.

But I understand the hesitation. Yeah, they haven’t been “on fire” since 2019, but they still can do it as they showed with some of their highlights last year. I truly hope that these are fire because as much as I shit on this band, I still fucking love this band

It’s looking like I’ll get tomorrow off or at least a half day so I’m probably going to GITV. I’m going with some noobs so it’ll be a nice change of pace from the jaded bort fam I’m used to

Yes, we know, that’s why we bitch all the time about how UM left its golden era.
