Over at Nonalignment Pact Ramon has some very nice things to say about our show last Thursday at Rudz:

Bright Men of Learning opened up with a great set. Bright Men do this Roots Rock/ Americana/ Country/ Rock thing that I’ve really come to enjoy. It’s real slick stuff where you just know the band has every tone and nuance down to a mathematical certainty. Admittedly, being one who embraces musical chaos and uncertainty, this took some warming up to. It wasn’t until I heard them play a live KPFT Radioactive event with really dodgy sound that I came to really appreciate what they do. There, the band had to struggle against a ragged sounding PA but their hard won battle against it had a rawness that appealed to my particular bias and ever since then I’ve come to really get a kick out of their shows.

We enjoyed ourselves immensely, and we totally dug the Mathletes. Killian’s last minute romp with Brando and our own Johnathan Sage was also a ton of fun, sounding as good as a set of random songs with no rehearsal can possibly sound.
