With this year’s Underground Music Showcase only a few days out, this is a great time to post a few more sets from last year.  (Previously posted UMS recordings can be found here.)  Today’s set features a rowdy performance by Megafaun on the final night of the festival.  We should have all been exhausted by Sunday night, but based on the crowd reaction, Denver wasn’t about to stop partying!

The experimental jazz musings of Aenka were the perfect refuge against Sunday’s afternoon drizzle, and the weariness that we all succumb to on the final day of a festival…

I took a breather from taping at the UMS on Friday night, but thankfully John and Rose from KGNU held down the fort by running mics at the Hi-Dive.  Airshow Mastering was also on-site and kind enough to pass on a board feed.  Combing the two sources led to some quite listenable results…thanks to all involved that weekend!
