Seattle FINALLY shows some serious love to MUTEMATH

-


With an nearly sold out show at The Showbox SoDo on Friday, February 10th, MUTEMATH showed major love back to their fans, old and new by giving 200 percent of themselves and putting on a spectacular show, playing ALL the tracks from the their latest release, ODD SOUL and surprising us with several classic MUTEMATH songs. Their FACEBOOK seemed to indiciate that they might only play about 3 or 4 classics, but I was shocked at how many songs they gave us.



And you could see it on their faces that they were very pleased by the response they were receiving from the crowd.




As a long time fan and supporter of this great band and these guys, I was like a mom. . . proud to be a part of it all!!


The guys

DEFINTELY went

above and beyond

for their Seattle

fans by going for

2 1/2 hours!!!






This reminds me of the concerts of old where bands like Loggins & Messina would continue to play long after the lights were turned off. This was by far a stellar show!!



Highlights were a grand rear entrance like Mardi Gras, lights and drums, an amazing stage show, Paul and Darren's craziness and connection with their fans, either body surfing or just hitting the kit out "ON" the fans, to a double air mattress, all lit up and surfing the crowd with Paul on top!! So funny!!!


MUTEMATH posted the making of this tour, which will definitely give you some insight into what I just describe. Alot went into making this tour AMAZING!






Todd Gummerman, the new guy in the band, did an fantastic job and the fans seemed to love him!! And may I add, Todd also tore it up on the Hammond B!!! He's a great musician!And a super nice guy!










This show was more than I expected! They've never ceased to amaze me, but I think this time, they did. When talking with the guys after the show, I commented to Roy that I caught him smiling several times and it warmed my heart to see the smiles.

Roy's response was, "This was the best show on the tour, by far ."


It was good to see them all and spend a few minutes with them. I am so happy to see their success grow!! I told them that I'll miss those old days of them playing at the little clubs in and around Seattle and was surprised that they remembered every place they played!! GREAT!!

And for the Canadian fans, MUTEMATH will be doing a tour in the Fall of 2012!

Son of Famed Drummer of Toto Passes Away

Miles Porcaro, the son of the late famed drummer; Jeff Porcaro of the band Toto, has passed away at the age of 31. Sharing these photos, Miles' mother, Susan Porcaro Goings took to Facebook this evening to post a beautiful public tribute to her son saying, "My heart is broken. I am devastated. My Miles is gone. He's now in heaven with his Daddy." No explanation was posted as to the cause of his death. Soon after the post, family and friends began to pour in, sharing their grief and condolences to Susan and her family. Unfortunately, the Porcaro family has had their share of grief with the loss of Miles' father, Jeff Porcaro, who passed away at the age of 38 from a heart attack in 1992. Jeff was not only a respected studio musician within the recording industry, but was a founding member of the 1980's rock band Toto, which continues to write, record and tour. Another sad loss within the Porcaro family was Jeff's younger brother and Mile

LO'S PICK OF THE DAY - "São Paulo" by CHIC

Talking about one of my favorite tracks by this wonderful group.  "São Paulo" is the B side of Dance, Dance, Dance (Yowsah, Yowsah, Yowsah) from Chic's debut album. I loved this song so much that as a teen I wore down the vinyl - which by the way, I still have this 45!  1977 and everybody was into disco! And the top Disco hit was Chic's "Dance, Dance, Dance (Yowsah, Yowsah, Yowsah)" This song was so different than what I had heard on my AM radio station, that I had to have the 45!! After playing "Dance, Dance, Dance" over and over, I wanted more of Chic. I hadn't bought the LP yet but wanted to find out what was on the other side, hoping for something similar.  So one night I decided to flip that 45 over and was just floored by what I was hearing! This song definitely turned my 16-year-old world upside down! It was so fine  - it was so funky, I couldn't believe how great this song was! From the moment that I heard those ocean waves and th

MUTEMATH Revisits The Sixties with ODD SOUL

Well, it's been a long time coming but the date is here. . . the arrival of ODD SOUL by MUTEMATH So many changes have occurred since the release of Armistice in 2009; marriage, babies, LIFE and most of all. . .saying goodbye to a bandmember. As a long time fan of MM, (and just so everyone knows . . . I say "I" am the biggest MM fan!! HA!! 11 years now!!!) ANYWAYS. . . it saddened me to find this out, but it happens. I wish Greg Hill the best! He's a terrific guy!! With the change, a new guy is on board, Todd "Gummy" Gummerman! He is also a terrific guy who truly knows his way with his 6 string electric! It's funny, when MM's EP came out in 2004, it was recorded by 3 of the members of MM. As it is the same with "ODD SOUL." Paul Meany, Roy Mitchell-Cardenas & Darren King have done an amazing job with this project! And Todd is STELLAR in having learned every lick PERFECTLY! The sound is so funkadelic, so 60's, so current and yet, so
