Mute Math: In concert
One of the best concerts I saw recently was a band called Mute Math play at a small club in NYC. I hear of lots of bands and see many bands live, but this one stood out. I was suprised to see three of my music friends enthusiastically want to go see them again at my first concert seeing them. They definitely had "hyped" the experience beforehand. I was somewhat anticipating that we would see something good, but not great. Boy was I suprised! The best part of the concert was the lead singer, Paul Meany, knew exactly how to entertain and treat the crowd. One song that definitely stood out from the concert was a song in which they used pretty much anything on the stage to drum on. The song is probably best described as a tribal experimental jam. The band is probably best classified as experimental rock as they incoporate rhythms, noise, and dreamlike keyboard and guitar fillers. It was pointed out to me that the singer's voice sounds a lot like Sting which you can definitely hear on a few songs in particular. The band sound is probably something close to Radiohead. They are on a label called Teleprompt which was formed by the lead singer Paul Meany and keyboard player Tedd T. A lot of their CD sales have been done online or from their concerts. I am excited to see where they will go in the upcoming year or so. Check out their myspace page for info on them, their music, videos, blogs, and tour dates.. (http://www.myspace.com/mutemath)
