I've had some of you on my back to post something about the Mutemath concert we went to last Thursday evening at the Avalon in Hollywood.Alas, I have not the eloquence to express adequately the Mutemath experience! I've been waiting on photo's from Bryce as he was able to get his camera in and steal some pretty good shots. I'll post some of those when I get them. Pictures will certainly help, but my advice is to go and see them live if you possibly can. This show may just have pipped Newsboys as the best I've ever experienced (and if you've seen the Newsboys recently, that's saying something!).
The show was unbelievably good. Amazing venue - I mean, really, really great venue. You have a good view from virtually anywhere in the building. It's sort of like an indoor amphitheater. The production was impeccable. We were standing right behind the sound guy who was workin' it all night. He did an absolutely fantastic job (so I shook his hand afterwards and said so.) The lights and multimedia show added another level as well. The performance was out of this world. Very physical and passionate and yet totally disciplined and under control. Wonderful songs with memorable hooks. Great singing, energy, phrasing... Brilliant musicianship...
At the start of the first song you are hit with a full surround assault of the senses. Half way through the first song I realize that I'm standing there with my eyes wide and my mouth dropped open and I have to remember to breathe. I look around and see most people are in the same state. Euphoric!
...but still, words aren't enough!

Check out their first video Typical. These guys are crazy creative! (They learned all their parts backwards and then recorded the song in reverse!)

Couldn't agree with you more, mate. I've seen them twice now and both times I had no words to describe it. The first time we actually went to see a Mae concert and Mutemath opened for them. We didn't know who they were at that time, but Mae couldn't even come close to matching the energy and brilliance that MuteMath brought on stage. They totally overshadowed everyone else. I'm very proud of my signed MuteMath EP I got my hands on that night :)
