It is our pleasure to announce U-Melt's 2009
Winter Tour! The tour will kick off on Thursday, January 22nd
at Mulcahy's in Wantagh, NY and conclude during the last weekend
of February when U-Melt returns to Phildelphia's North Star
and a stop at Hunter Mountain for the first annual Winter
Jam. In between, U-Melt will be returning to some of our favorite
spots in the Northeast, including Boston, S. Burlington, Baltimore,
Ithaca, Albany/Troy, Syracuse, and Northampton, as well as
debuts at Maxwell's in Hoboken, The Ocean Mist in Wakefield,
RI and The Fairfield Theater Company in Fairield, CT.
U-Melt is also excited to announce a weeks run through the
Southeast, starting with our debut at The Carry St. Cafe in
Richmond, VA on Sunday, February 15th. Following that show,
U-Melt will be making stops in Raleigh, Charleston, Charlotte,
and Atlanta, where we are very excited to be performing a
late night show at Smith's Olde Bar following Umphrey's McGee's
performance at the Varierty Playhouse earlier in the evening.
Please be on the lookout for a few additional southern dates
to be announced in the coming days to round off the week.
You can find a complete list of confirmed 2009 U-Melt tour
dates and show details on U-Melt.com's
Tour Date's page.
It is also our pleasure to give you a sneak preview into
U-Melt's 2009 Spring Tour by announcing our first New York
City show of 2009, which will be U-Melt's debut at BB King
Blues Club on Friday, April 10th, when U-Melt will perform
an Umphrey's McGee After Party, following Umphrey's show at
Nokia Theater earlier that night. This show will mark the
second installment of the pairing of U-Melt and our very good
friend Wyllys! U-Melt will be re-uniting with Wyllys on a
progressive series of events that touch on different aspects
of electronic music. The two artists will perform interlocking
sets with the middle set focused on particular styles of beats
native to the areas they play. In Chicago this past December,
we riffed on legendary Chicago house music and in New York,
we will drop some drum and bass like they use to at Concrete
Jungle. We hope you will all plan on joining us for our debut
at this legendary New York City venue, for a very exciting
night! Tickets are now available by clicking

12/26/08 - New Year's Eve Show Relocated to
The Wonder Bar, Now 21+
Due to circumstances beyond our control, U-Melt
has been forced to move our show on New Year's Eve from The
Stone Pony to The Wonder Bar which is located just down the
street from The Stone Pony in Asbury Park, NJ. We are thankful
to The Wonder Bar for being available under such last minute
circumstances, and we are happy to be able to move U-Melt's
New Year's Eve performance just down the street to another
legendary venue which is also within walking distance to the
Berkely Hotel, where we have arranged for discounted hotel
rooms for the evening. Unfortunately, we deeply regret having
to announce that with the change in venue, it is impossible
to keep the show accessible to fans under the age of 21. We
sincerely apologize to our fans under the age of 21 who have
planned on attending U-Melt's New Year's Even show, and we
hope you understand that the change in venue was out of our
hands. Despite reassurances from The Stone Pony for the past
month that their emergency construction would definitely be
concluded in time for New Year's Eve, we were just informed
over the weekend that due to unforseeable construction delays,
The Stone Pony will not be ready to be re-opened in time.
We will be offering a refund to anyone under the age of 21
who has already purchased a ticket.
U-Melt is excited to be able to bring our New
Year's Eve plans to The Wonder Bar, but due to the change
in age restrictions for the evening, we regretably must announce
that Lemon Juice will no longer be performing on New Year's
Eve. We look forward to making it up to Lemon Juice in the
near future when we are able to offer an 18+ show.
he Wonder Bar is located 3 blocks north from
The Stone Pony on 5th and Ocean Ave. in Asbury Park, NJ. U-Melt's
New Year's Eve show is only $20 in advance, and $25 at the
door and advanced tickets are available via InTicketing.
Doors open at 8:00pm and the music will go well past 3:00am.
