One of the brightest hopes for original music in a long time, Mute Math, are heading out on a fifty-city tour starting tomorrow night, January 19th, in Oklahoma City, OK, behind their new self-titled debut album(a seven-song EP called Reset was released in 2004 as a teaser). Having witnessed their incendiary live show at last year's Cornerstone Festival, I can attest to their prowess as live musicians, so check out their purevolume site under the Shows section to see if the madness is swinging through your town; it covers pretty much the entire continental United States, so really, it shouldn't be that much of a stretch. As well, read the entry for January 18th in the Blog section - it's a revealing look at frontman Paul Meany's thoughts on the "Christian music industry" and why Mute Math's unpleasant label situation is directly correlated. Oh, and listen to the songs while you're at it.
One last thing: Mute Math will be on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson February 1st(12:35am EST). I'll be watching.
What a terrific band.
