JEZEBEL MUSIC FEATURE
If you missed Miracles of Modern Science performing at Public Assembly for the JezebelMusic.com May Feature Show, that’s really just a shame! MOMS performed an entirely solid set of expertly crafted, string driven pop-rock songs. People danced, sang, laughed and cheered as five friends from Princeton set aside any doubts about how good a band can be that wears matching spacesuits (and MOMS-branded headbands last Thursday).

Highlights included a performance of “Luminol,” the first track on the free-for-download MOMS EP, as well as a hilarious five-minute plus sci-fi spoof. But the best moment was when lead singer Evan Younger demonstrated his extraordinary whistling skills in a performance of the song “524” (which can also be found on the MOMS EP). About a cowboy who can whistle people to death, the stellar, powerful live performance of this intricate track proves MOMS to truly be a band to watch out for.

Cellist Geoff McDonald’s favorite fan comment is: “I really like you guys because you’re good at what you do but you don’t take yourselves too seriously.” Well Geoff, to you I say: I really like you guys because you’re good at what you do but you don’t take yourselves too seriously.

Featuring Miracles of Modern Science w/ Gunfight!, Phil and the Osophers, and Kittens Ablaze

Last Thursday’s Feature Show at Public Assembly, which featured Miracles of Modern Science, along with openers Gunfight!, Phil and the Osophers, and Kittens Ablaze, was rousing, rollicking, and all kinds of rocking. In case you missed it (and, really, you missed out if you did), here are some photos that capture the dynamism of the evening quite well.

With openers Gunfight!, Phil and the Osophers, and Kittens Ablaze, Miracles of Modern Science (pictured) will headline JezebelMusic.com’s May FEATURE SHOW tomorrow night, Thursday May 14 at Public Assembly!

If you have not yet downloaded the Miracles of Modern Science EP, which can be accessed FREE of charge on the band’s website, do it now! While you’re listening, go ahead and learn more about MOMS by reading the Feature Article! And then perhaps your most important task is to bring yourself to Public Assembly tomorrow night (Thursday, May 14) for the JezebelMusic.com May Feature Show!

When most people think about string instruments, they might recall the waiting room of their optometrist, or the sleepy chamber music of times long past. Shattering these preconceptions, MOMS uses a mandolin, violin, upright bass, cello, and rock drum kit to craft “some of the most creative, catchy, and purely fun music in New York City.” At a MOMS show, you won’t find a guitar playing singer soaking up the limelight, nor will you hear stringed instruments bowing softly in restrained acquiescence. No! You will witness five extraordinarily talented and inspired music-lovers wearing matching silver spacesuits, digging their spurs deep into high-energy, danceable pop-rock.

The verdant warmth of spring has at last sprung and we’re counting down the days until JezebelMusic.com’s May Feature Artist – Miracles of Modern Science – dazzles and dazes us at the Feature Show at Public Assembly on Thursday, May 14. With openers Gunfight!, Phil and the Osophers, and Kittens Ablaze, Miracles of Modern Science will headline NYC’s most electric and eclectic night of live music.

Where many bands use strings as additional, extraneous instrumentation to fill up the sound of their songs, at the core of Miracles of Modern Science (long for MOMS) are mandolin, upright bass, cello and violin. Along with a drummer and matching silver space suits, MOMS brings its sparkling strings and danceable pop rock creations to the stage at Public Assembly May 14.
