MUTE MATH

I just have to tell someone - do you know thast feeling? It comes when you experience something that literally changes your life and you wish everyone else could've been there. It happened last year standing with Jared watching Wilco do their amzing work @ the Alabama Theatre. Well... it happened again tonight. I didn't know much about MUTE MATH going into the show. I knew the were a "christian" band and had some cool songs on an EP. It was, and will be, one of the most amazing musical experinces of my life here on earth. "Their live show thrives on this random energy… involving homemade instruments, live sampling, a junked-out keytar, and enough dizzying energy to make the hardest cynics wet their pants." There were drums everywhere, played by a drummer who walked out on stage before the show and slung black tape around his head and headphones about 6 times before sitting down for a short time (good thing he did that), keyboards strategically scattered, pieces of tin buckets for hitting with drumsticks, guitars for hitting with drumsticks, a bassist whose strings sounded like the cables on the golden gate bridge, a frontman who made your eyes fixed on him especially during the few times he cartwheeled it over his rhodes, and a strange keytar/synth/star trek/thing that was played then passed through the crowd - still on - and it worked. I could go on and on. This is a band you MUST see if close to you - trust me. I'm still in shock. MUTEMATH.com
