The Omega Moos, the all improvisational group featuring Umphreys McGees Brendan Bayliss and Ryan Stasik along with The New Deals Darren Shearer and Jamie Shields, will hit the road for a quick jaunt in early 2008. The quartet has recently confirmed a string of Midwest appearances at Urbana, ILs The Canopy Club (1/17), Bloomington, INS Bluebird Nightclub (1/18) and Chicagos The Kinetic Playground (1/19), marking the first Omega Moos performances since June. The run will take place shortly before Umphreys McGee hits the road for a round of West Coast dates, beginning with an appearance at Vancouvers Richards on Richards and including a series of dates with special guests Dub Trio. Travel packages for the groups previously announced San Francisco shows are now being offered through Consideritdan. Umphreys McGee has also signed on to the Disco Biscuits March 14 appearance at London’s Carling Academy Islington.
