Mandelbrots - This Thursday @ the Rud

New to the 37 Flood radar, the Mandelbrots bring a unique sound to the Louisville music scene. Joe Burchett (formerly of Fire the Saddle and currently of the Town Criers) heads this group of wonderfully talented musicians. Their website describes their music as "a sound that conveys adventurous composition with harmonically-rich acoustic sensibility in a lively rhythmic landscape. Their odd-meter diversions and down-home promenades frame songs reflecting the infinite complexity of the human condition."

Heady stuff. The result can be sampled in the linked mp3. My best attempt to describe their sound would go something like this: what David Byrne would sound like if he grew up in Kentucky studying bluegrass and advanced mathematics. Their debut album We Are All Perceivers, released late last year, is available at Ear X-tacy, Underground Sounds, and, if you must, Amazon.com.

The Mandelbrots will play Louisville for the first time since December at the Rudyard Kipling on Thursday. The band will take the stage at 9:00. Come on out and get some brews and burgoo with the Brots!
