The Tabernacle: Mute Math in Atlanta on a Friday Night
by Samuel Febres
Nat and I had the awesome privilege of going to see MUTEMATH play in Atlanta, Georgia this past weekend at a great venue called The Tabernacle. It’s an old church that was converted into a nice concert hall. Probably one of the coolest ones I’ve ever been to or seen.
Because we got our tickets a few months back as part of an album pre-order/VIP promotion, we received a ‘First in Line’ pass which allowed us to get in a little early to the show before other folks and have some pizza and drinks, and buy stuff without the crowds if we wanted to.
This worked out great because Nat and I were able to get a great spot near the front of the stage. You couldn’t ask for a better spot to enjoy the show.
I didn’t bring my camera like I usually do, and only took a few photos with the cell phone, so I don’t really have anything to share, but I couldn’t resist filming something, so near the end of the show, I pulled out a little portable camera that my dad let me borrow and filmed a song called Reset and another part of the show where Darren King (the drummer) stands on top of a floor tom that is being held up by the crowd, and then jumps back into the crowd and crowd surfs. All that happened within 3 feet of me. Pretty cool.
Check out the videos below and let me know what you think. If you haven’t heard of MUTEMATH, check out their new album, Armistice on itunes or Amazon.com
Oh, also, we found out that they were filming the show for a DVD, if it all works out. I was in front of the camera man quite a few times, as was my better half, so there’s quite the possibility that we might make it on the DVD. Very cool stuff.

Funny quote from the video:
“Oh my god! I’m never gonna wash these hands again! I’m never gonna wash these hands again.”
