Band of the Week....Omega Moos

What happens when you take 2 parts New Deal, two parts Umphrey's McGee, and combine them into one band? You get Omega Moos, the "baddest techno-rock-cover band to hit this side of 1981". Darren Shearer and Jamie Shields from the New Deal and Ryan Stasik and Brendan Bayliss from Umphrey's McGee have gotten together, each being fans of one anothers careers and music to form a band in which they play "classic rock, each others bands tunes, and all around jam throwdowns". I have always been a big New Deal fan but never really got into Umphrey's, maybe this collaboration will give me the motivation to check them out.
The Omega Moos will be playing as a special guest with the Disco Biscuits during the second night of their Thanksgiving run at the Electric Factory on Saturday November 28!!!!
