It was a dark and stormy night, but we partied anyway. The penultimate round of our Summer Music Sampler series brought together some unique, atmospheric groups who had dazzling technical abilities but still knew how to keep things fun and lively, as Ashley Bradley’s photos hopefully prove. Math Patrol showed off a song they made by turning their zipcodes into chord arrangements and time signatures (yes, really!), Play by Numbers rejected the traditional “band hypes up the audience with cliche acknowledgments of their existence” method of stage banter in favor of a sassy text-to-speech machine, and the Khost closed out the night with passionate group singing over epic soundscapes. If you missed out, don’t fret, we’ve got one last Summer Music Sampler up next week, and that one will be a display of some of Austin’s most fascinating electronic musicians.
