Blazing Live Shows to See in February
Compiled by David Shuey, February 2, 2010
This is just a start. More soon! See you all at Black Math on Thursday. Pre-show appetizer: Check out Jimmy's recent interview on Shutter Soul as January's artist spotlight.
Black Math UPDATE: Look for a new record in 2010 put out by Permanent Records. Expect some fresh gems to be played at Hideout. Until then, almost all of Black Math's pre-2010 output is available for FREE download. 11 newer songs here, including the solid "ReadingMysteries" (vocals by Xina) and "Walking@Night" (vocals by Xina/Jimmy). Their Counterfeit Unrealities EP is here (or you can buy it for $5 here, along with their 7" self-titled vinyl record for $7, shipping included). Guitarist/co-vocalist Andrew has some solo tunes here under the Bright Creatures moniker.
Sounds Like: The dark synth corner of your psyche you don't talk about at dinner parties.
