WE ARE NOT STOKED: BLACK MATH EXPERIMENT GOES ON "INDEFINITE HIATUS"

HORSEHOCKEY! Love them or malign them, there aren't any other purveyors of pop that come to mind when we think "unpretentious goof-rockers whose approachable take on music is refreshing in a world where 'different' and 'new' are sometimes thrown together into a blender to make 'crap;' also, have shared the stage with The Misfits and David Arquette." So, we were bummer like an Oilers Coach when we got an email this morning from Black Math Experiment member Jef (with one F) that contained not information about a new CD nor his latest Chuckle Me Badd opinion on this or that, but rather the sad news that the band was going on hiatus. Guh.

Citing a host of personal commitments and not even making a single joke, Jef let us know that the act's final Act will be June 14th at The Mink, and that they'll be filming for a DVD that night - so atleast there's something to look forward to. On the positive side, we were always a little terrified that BME would end up on a bill with The Mathletes and the combined power of their Greyskulls would unleash a tidal wave of malevolent nerdiness onto the world, shifting paradigms with some sort of Ghostbusters 2 wave effect. We wish all of the band our best and hope that "indefinite" is shorter lived than the average Will Freed band.
