Any possibility they'll make it down around Houston?

Stacy - logistically I think its impossible to be honest. I know they are trying to set something up for Chicago...not that it helps you much.

I assumed as much.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Special thanks to Umphrey's McGee and their management for setting this gig up. Its going to be an amazing night of fusion!

Kick the McGee
Morglbl

KICK THE MCGEE features half of Umphrey's McGee and half of Kick the Cat in an improvisatory, funky and tight rock n roll formation. With deep grooves from Chris Clemente (Kick the Cat, Drop Q), searing guitar lines from Jake Cinninger (Umphrey's McGee), bottomless pockets from drummer Kris Myers (Umphrey's McGee, Kick the Cat) and classic keyboard riffs from Joel Cummins (Umphrey's McGee), Kick the McGee creates music that will make both your body and mind dance.

A charming young lady called to book the band for their very first gig, even before they had a name! M-ö-r-g-l-b-l was the first group of letters that came to mind.
Led by extraordinary guitarist Christophe Godin, Mörglbl gained international acclaim with the release of their first two CD's in 1998 and 1999. In 2007 Mörglbl came roaring back with a new CD, Grötesk, now bringing wide attention and high praise in the US.
In 2005 Godin was voted 5th best international guitar player in a GuitarPart magazine readers poll. One of his students once asked how he got to be so good. He jokingly responded it was because he can cross his eyes and watch each hand simultaneously. Later the poor kid came to him in tears after attempting this for weeks and failing!
Bassist Ivan Rougny, just like Godin, conducts masterclasses in Geneva. Rougny somehow makes his 6 string bass sound like two instruments at the same time.
Mörglbl now features exciting new drummer Aurélien Ouzoulias, a veteran of many bands on the French music scene whose double bass drum sounds like a big Harley V-twin.
This band seems to work telepathically on stage, charging through a variety of styles and timings while entertaining the crowd with an endless array of facial expressions and humorous banter. Often an audience sometimes of thousands is left roaring with laughter. Once you've seen them live you'll know you've been Mörglbled!

Is this still happening and where can the details be found?

Thanks...

Yes. Details were firmed up. Visit www.njproghouse.com for all the info.

I got doctor's thumbs up to drive so I plan on attending. I'll be hard to miss - I'll be the guy who's crutches everyone keeps tripping over.
