Tonight I went to a long anticipated Mute Math gig at the Bar Academy in Islington. It was great to meet up with some friends whom I had not seen in a while.
The support act was OK, they were very young and seemed to lack confidence on stage. Not so Paul Meany, the lead of Mute Math. His repetoire included standing on his piano, crowd surfing, diving across the stage and hand stands on the piano. Not to mention the Keytar.
The drummer was wild, at one point he dropped a stick, so finished the song using his hand. Despite duct taping, he still seemed in danger of losing his headphones. The band are highly creative, using synthesisers along with traditional rock elements, and at one point 3 of the band were drumming on all manner of objects whilst the fourth used his pedal set to amazing effect.
A great night out. I would recommend them to any fans of alt rock, and the live experience is just something else.
