Mutemath Brings Energy to Atlanta

Let me start by saying that you haven’t really been to a concert unless you’ve been to a Mutemath concert. They are the best performers I have ever seen, and I’ve had the pleasure of seeing them twice (the first time at DeLuna Fest 2011).

Mutemath performed every song from their latest album, Odd Soul. Throughout the show, vocalist and keyboardist Paul Meany did handstands on his keyboard and crowd surfed on an inflatable mattress, while drummer Darren King, known for duct-taping his headphones on because he jams so hard, broke his drum set and did a solo out in the middle of the audience. The energy, you can imagine, was unbelievable.

I was able to meet the band backstage, and enjoyed a happy exchange of handshakes and laughter. “Atlanta has always been one of our favorite audiences. We always have fun here. Last time we were here we were filming a DVD, so we were nervous, but this time we just got to have fun and break things,” King told me excitedly, his curls still stuck to his damp forehead.
