Umphrey's McGee Biography

'Umphrey's McGee' is an American progressive rock jam band based in Chicago whose music is often referred to as "progressive improvisation", or "improg" (as per a progressive sampler released by the band in 2009). Although the band is part of the jam band scene, like Phish and the Grateful Dead (with ever-changing setlists, improvisation, two sets per night, open taping policy, etc.), they are much more influenced musically by progressive rock bands such as King Crimson, Yes, Pink Floyd, Dream Theater, Frank Zappa, and early Genesis, as well as heavy metal bands such as Iron Maiden. The band also identifies The Police, The Beatles, and Led Zeppelin as primary influences.. The band has an eclectic style ranging from prog rock, funk, jazz, blues, metal, space rock, and anything else they can think of. Recent shows have seen the band moving into more electronic, house, and dance music territories, influenced by Daft Punk and Chromeo, mixed with the progressive rock sound they are known for.

Umphrey's McGee - Hajimemashite Lyrics

I didn't know things were supposed to be this way
I wasn't told of this before
But had I known about this fall for some time
Maybe I could've been or could've known

It was cold in the kitchen and the lights were low
As winter slowly stumbled home
The air felt different and it started to show
As every breath resembled smoke

There were always questions about where you been
With whom you went we didn't know
But I was only guessing about what I'd seen
And I didn't mean no harm
