Acrpost: A Project of the Pacific Association of Artist Run Centres

Event Description

Creatively ambitious from the outset, Mute Math dove headfirst into exploring a new definition on how a rock band should sound and perform. Using homemade instruments and live sampling, the New Orleans band is innovative, soaring, and atmospheric, and builds a captivating soundscape of experimental rock drenched in irresistible hooks.

The group’s creativity carries over into self-promotion as well, with ideas like chronicling its shows on a video blog helping to spread Mute Math’s fanbase worldwide. Through word of mouth, the quartet was soon selling out shows in L.A., New York, and Nashville, among other cities. Last year, the band appeared on the covers of Billboard and Pollstar, was featured in Alternative Press and Paste, and became one of 32 finalists in Spin.com’s Artist of the Year contest. As well, Mute Math played Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, the Van’s Warped Tour and CMJ. Warner Bros. re-released MM’s self-titled debut full-length, which debuted at #17 on Billboard’s Heatseekers chart. More recently, the band has been opening for The Fray.
