Groupee Bundle
So many of you likely now that for the last 48 hours we have been running a Groupee, a flash offering loaded with audio and video content. The concept is much like Groupon but Gropuees are geared towards music and entertainment fans who would prefer to download audio & video rather than receive 58% a pedicure at the neighborhood nail joint (but don't get us wrong, we love a good pedicure here at UM).
We tried to load up the bundle with a great mix of content that has a little something for everyone. Many of you obviously have Mantis but we wanted to give new fans or those fence sitting fans an opportunity to get their hands on it (and a lot more) at a great price. The acoustic show was a classic evening of relaxed UM and figured that would be a good addition for many of your collections. And the videos are not available for download elsewhere and we felt they rounded out the package nicely. But many of you expressed the want (read: insatiable desire) for more new, unreleased content.
And because we give a shite, more new, unreleased content is what you get.
Digging into the archives this morning, we've pulled 3 tracks from the sound check of our Safety In Numbers release party for you die hards. Back in 2006, we had a few friends over at the Park West in Chicago as we launched the record. The band was full of life, in great spirits and that made itself obvious even at sound check. The attached snippet is taste of the Jimmy Stewart from rehearsal but make sure to listen to the end on the full track as Joel & Brendan have a little fun with Rocker. It coincidentally harkens back to UMBowl II, must be something about the Park West.
To boot, Groupees is now donating 10% of the profits to the People's Music School, an incredible organization that provides music education to kids less fortunate than some. Please help us spread the word that this sale is only up for another 24 hours. Post the link on your facebook page, tweet it, email your friends etc. If we hit $10,000 we are going to give away yet another unreleased new original that is in the works. We can't do it without your help.
