my kind of "Math"





Solve this word problem: A group of 3 people in a Subaru legacy leave Erie, PA at 5:23pm on Thursday. If the vehicle is traveling west at a speed of 70 mph for 101.26 miles, where does the the car meet its destination point?

Answer: The House of Blues for MUTEMATH!!!!!!

Last night, my cousin Stephanie, my brother and I went to go see one of our favorite bands MUTEMATH. Most of you are thinking... "Mute.. who?????" Yes, I thought the same thing when my cousin Ashley raved about them in Florida. I can not remotely explain the genre of the band. It's not "poppy" by any means...but its not even hard core alternative rock. It is a combination of all different kinds of music and instruments (some homemade), that produces this amazing sound like no other!!! And every member can play anything...they literally "jump" from instrument to instrument (or throw the dang thing).

I mean, they brought back the "Key-tar" for pete's sake! (which i love by the way)

The night started with us meeting our friend Turos at 7 for some din-din at PF Changs (for those of you who speak my language...all I have to say is "LETTUCE WRAPS!!" and you know what I am talking about!). The doors at the House of Blues opened at 9pm and the show kicked off around 9:30.

There were two opening bands before MUTEMATH performed. The first one... if I can remember...was called...oh yeah..."please go back to st. louis missouri, because you suck!!" It's a replicable name don't ya think?

So after a disappointing first act, I was sketched out and getting really irritated (one of the reasons being that I am 5'4" and all the men in front of me were 6ft. or taller and I couldn't see anything...i mean what the heck are they feeding these boys in cleveland). The Cinematics, who went second, were awesome. Very good band...so please google them when you have the time and show some love (they are along the lines of sounding like "the killers").

Then the gates of heaven opened up at 11:37pm when MUTEMATH came on the stage. Nothing but funky lights, great sound, and a good time for an hour! The lead singer is amazing live and his voice reminds me of Sting. They were finished at 12:45am, and it was worth every penny. There will never be a time again where you can get tickets for MUTEMATH for $12 a piece.

Oh yeah...funny coincidence...the last song during the intermission right before MUTEMATH came on was that Wolfmother song. (just look down two blog posts and the light bulb should click)

I had the chance to record my fav MUTEMATH song called "Noticed" last night on my camera...but I am having troubles uploading it. I think the file is too big.

Below is the first single/video that just came out.

Typical

Enjoy!

And I would like to thank my brother for blasting the air conditioning and stereo the whole ride home, so I could not sleep in the car! I felt really rested this morning let me tell you!

Keep an eye out for my MUTEMATH updates. Maybe soon I can get some Live stuff to ya!
