Lo Fi acoustic alternative science fiction music coupled with bad covers and off key singing.
In the late 1970's, the pioneer rock band The Umm came into existence. Consisting of two school friends from Coon Rapids MN, The Umm carved its way into the annals of history with their innovative and creative approach to minimalist recording. Over the span of three years The Umm created music today that is difficult to catagorize. Were they pioneers or just two guys with guitars and ice cream buckets? The jury is still out on that. Since the breakup of the band, the demand for their early material has grown to the extent that Test Tube Records (a divison of The Victorian Entertainment Corporation) is now making their music available again for public consumption. Digitally remastered, these songs will seem to literally jump out of your speakers and into your brains. During their career, The Umm released three albums: LIFE IN A TEST TUBE (1978), MR. PEABODY'S COAL MINE (1979), and WHY I LIKE THE LAB (1979). It is hoped that The Umm will finally get the recognition they deserve.

Story behind the song
We loved science, and we loved discovering great things, and that is why, aside from writing awesome music, we spent all of our other time in research. We wrote this song about our cool life in a laboratory. And there's nothing like a hard day at the lab followed by a hot blues jam. Play magic fingers, play...
Lyrics
People stop and ask me Why do you like the lab People I'm gonna tell you Even though I hate to blab When I was a-three My daddy took me to his place And let me browse through his books There was a glow on my face When I was a-five I recieved a test tube And I melted some play dough And shaped it into a cube When I was a-ten My daddy let me run his lab When it came time to clean up I helped him just a dab When I was a-twelve My daddy let me do my best And I took my sweet time And really created a mess When I was a-fourteen Daddy took me on several rides He taught me the action Of Alka Seltzer and Bromides Now I'm a grown up About to have our first kid I hope he likes the lab As well as my daddy did Now you can ask me Why do you like the lab And I'm gonna sing this to ya And get right back to my lab
