U-Melt interview from 12-16-03

I am willing to bet that if you are a fan of jambands in general you probably know the band U-Melt. I am also willing to bet that you don’t know that they used to be called A440.

This track is an archive that I pulled from 12/16/2003 when I was living in New York. I had the opportunity to speak with Zac Lasher the Keyboard player from U-Melt. We talked about the origins of A440, Phish, MMW, being divers in the music you make, musical collaborations the show they played on 12/11/03 at the Knitting Factory, and many other things. Also on this track you hear A440 covering Bubblehouse by Medeski Martin & Wood. It’s funny to hear us talking about Bit Torrent and other music downloading technology that was just becoming popular then.

   Here are some links for you to enjoy while you listen.
