Math the Band is a boyfriend and girlfriend duo that can be best described as a hard and furious mixture of screeching 8-bit sequenced keyboard lines, driving Casio drums, melodic, yet throat-shedding yelping, and a high and human energy that can only be derived from the childhood naivety that beckons “Wang Chung’s” mantra: “Everybody have fun tonight!” Math the Band started the day guitarist, vocalist, and computer programmer Kevin Steinhauser was kicked out of his local high school pop-punk band. Kevin, then a 16 year-old kid was just like most other New England punkers, was overly obsessed with ska music and video games, which in turn influenced him heavily when the itch to continue writing music eventually consumed him. The result was a high school career composing roughly 12 songs a week, releasing five full-length, DIY CD-R releases containing songs about such overt topics as shark attacks and how much the Postal Service sucks. Flash-forward to 2007 when Math the Band released his first honest-to-goodness pressed and shrink-wrapped self-release: “Math the Band Banned the Math.” Word of mouth was quickly set off a whirlwind of positive press and support from a new fan base leading to Kevin Steinhauser’s “one man, a mic, and a computer” project quickly evolving into a full band with the addition of his girlfriend Justine Mainville on analog synths, and a rotating cast of his college aged buddies playing stand-up drums, back-up synths, handing out balloons, painting faces, and serving freshly baked cupcakes (none of that store bought sh*t!) Math the Band prides themselves greatly on intense live performances that have been known to draw diehard fans from up to a six hours drive away. The band carries themselves with a reckless abandon on stage that frequently leads to injuries for the both band members and bouts of intense exhaustion driving the front man Kevin to vomit after almost every performance (and sometimes even during.) Between Kevin and Justine, they have scored a total of 7 broken bones and 9 forehead staples (resulting from an unfortunate meeting of monitor and forehead.) Kevin professes that these wild stage antics are not just about his intense love of the fans that attend their shows, but also an homage to the awesome shows of the heroes that Math the Band has shared numerous stages with, such as: Andrew WK, Matt and Kim, Adam Goren of Atom and His Package, Polysics, and Japanther. Currently, Math the Band is gearing up to release their second full-length album “Don’t Worry” in June 2009, this time supported by up-and-coming indie/electo label: Slanty Shanty Records (ANAVAN, Mose Giganticus, CAW! CAW!, The Emotron) based out of Los Angeles. The band has plans to tour the entire United States twice during the summer of 2009, playing everywhere from large concert halls, to high school cafeterias, to the sweaty-packed basements of random fans. On top of touring in 2009, Math the Band is already planning to release their long-awaited rock opera entitled “Don’t Lose the Magic Eye,” which is due to hit shelves in late winter
