Musical interest

This post is dedicated for a little band called MuteMath and their much anticipated album coming out later on this spring. They are a band from New Orleans, but originally started as a small Christian band called Earthsuit in the early 2000's.

While the band was Earthsuit they had a large influence with reggae and jazz music. But like any other small band that wasn't going anywhere, they broke up and a few of the guys started MuteMath.

Once MuteMath got signed to a major record label, they soon realized the label was screwing them over quite a bit, which in turn made these muically genius graduates from The Julliard School do was to sue their record label. This was probably the best thing to happen to this band because it caught the attention of a lot of media and other bands. In the end this band won the settlement against their record label.

MuteMath is definitely one of the best live shows I have ever seen in my life. The lead singer, Paul Meany plays a large array of instruments on stage, including custom made keytars (which are extremely expensive) and he usually ends up breaking one of them by accident in the middle of the show. Another strange thing this band ends up doing is running all over the stage switching instruments and figuring out new ways to play the instruments/whatever is on the stage around them.

I highly recommend checking these guys out on their youtube video blog page.

In the meantime just check out how amazing/pseudo nerdy the drummer Darren is with the drums and hooking up triggers to the lights in the room to his drumkit.
