creativity requires the courage to let go of certainties

Last night we joined our friends Brandon and Amanda to go see Mute Math at Slim’s in SF. We had a great time hanging. During the course of the evening Jackie noticed someone really familiar on the other side of the building. Lo and Behold, Mr. Brian Leport! It was cool to see Brian there too. The place was packed or at least it felt like it was from where we were standing. After some interesting opening acts, a really large guy passing out in front of us and some dude spilling his beer in front of us Mutemath finally hit the stage.

The ambient music started and Drummer Darren King came out energetic as usual, lookk at the crowd then duct taped his headphones to his head. If you have seen him play then you know how necessary this is. The rest of the band made their way onto the stage the over-sized light-bulb above illuminating the stage and then lead singer and keytar player Paul Meany comes flying in standing on top of his Rhodes. Back-lit appearing only as silhouettes the band breaks into their first song of the set “Typical” and the show has begun. It was a lot of fun.

As to be expected, they freakin rocked. Great show.
