Mute Math
Where: Warehouse Live
Date: 2007-11-11 20:00:00
Type:
The Mute Math dynamic can be viewed in parts. At its core, an inspired electro-alt rock band with a soaring sound that incorporates emotive vocals, hip hop styled beats, dubby soundscapes fueled by sample-like guitars and Rhodes piano flourishes, keytars, a homemade instrument (a Theremin- inspired guitar) and other random gadgets. The other is a finely tuned live act, with a highly infectious and equally energetic show, that's accented by the occasional acrobatics, experimental jams, knob twiddling and bouts of instrumental switcheroo that emboldens the player's chops. That's good, because music fans are always looking for something new to excite and intrigue them, and that is executed well. Mute Math definitely deserves a look- they nail it on record, and they kill it live. These are the elements that help Mute Math click with the fans of old and new, on a daily basis. Hailing from Tyler, Texas, Eisley is made up of four siblings: guitarist/vocalist Sherri, vocalist/ keyboardist Stacy, guitarist Chauntelle and drummer Weston DuPree, as well as their longtime neighbor, bassist Jon Wilson. They play "dreamy, high-minded pop far more akin to Coldplay, Bjork and Radiohead than Jessica Simpson or Britney Spears."
Rilo Kiley
Where: Warehouse Live

Type:
Jenny Lewis, Blake Sennet, Pierre de Reeder and Jason Boesel are Rilo Kiley. Formed in 1998, the Los Angeles band offers up a healthy dose of thoughtful, electrically enhanced rock and pop ditties. With their 2001 release 'Take Offs and Landings,' the band found themselves opening for the Breeders, Pedro the Lion, and Superchunk. Rilo Kiley's follow-up, 'The Execution of All Things' earned many a critic's writeup in the fall of 2002. The quartet's current effort is 'More Adventurous.'
