I love Don Cabellero...but some of the others I dig mildly...check this vid from yet another "supergroup" featuring members of Don Cab and Helmet...the quintessential "math rock" band: Battles

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpGp-22t0lU

The lead-lap-top player kicks ass! I hear they need a new i-Phone player.

gooo

I rate that tune, its pretty cool. They're playing my town in a month or so I may go and check them out, broaden my horizons a bit.

It also usually sends me running for a Ramones album, too.

There are times in my life when every other thing that happens to me sends me running for a Ramones album...

There was a very fine young surf band from Georgia about 8 years ago called The Squares. They put out a great debut CD that was fairly close to trad surf, and then for their second CD they had gotten into math rock, which was interesting but way to intellectual. Like staring at a book of train schedules.

That first CD is one of my favorites and stays in my car at all times. I have never laid hand on a copy of that second album and everybody I know that's heard it has said pretty much the same thing. If anybody has a copy of it I'd much appreciate a rip of it.

Having lived in Athens, GA for a long time I got exposed to a lot of "math rock" and tried to "get it." It was all noise to me. There was a decent-sized and devoted clique of musicians that did that sort of thing. I don't know if it's growing or not.
