Saving my money for a few concerts and the rest of March, but based on the samples alone, I'll be getting the newest album, I really really liked the samples.

So after seeing this band in March and being blown away, I saw them again tonight here in Connecticut. Couldn't pass up the opportunity since it was only ten bucks and less than an hour away. They played with two other local bands who were both pretty good, but I still can't get over how great they are live. I'd say that this show was better than the last one, but unfortunately the attendance wasn't that great. It seemed like most people came for the openers, and by the end of the set most of the audience consisted of the other band members and their families. But still, they were fucking incredible.

The new stuff is so good and their new album is going to be amazing. I don't know why these guys aren't more popular. They're starting an east coast tour with The Tea Club in a few days, so if anyone has the chance to see them, go!

Yay! Glad you got to see them but sucks about the turnout. Unfortunately they're not coming west for the tour but they will be down south!

Well, for those who haven't heard yet these guys are touring with Coheed and Cambria in the fall! I don't really know Coheed, but I will be going for sure. They're playing a venue right by my place in Denver- wooo!
Cool that a couple years ago I was like "Hey guys donate to this Kickstarter so these guys can make an album" and now look!

Didn't realise there was a thread for these guys. Discovered them a couple of months ago thanks to a Spotify recommendation (for real) and became absolutely obsessed with Maps of Non-Existent Places. What an outrageously brilliant album! I don't know they've done it but they've managed to properly fuse prog rock/metal with jazz/funk into something that flows amazingly. Genuinely blown away by the album.

Yeah, it's an amazing album! Awesome that you found them through Spotify.
I started a thread on them in like 2011 because they had a Kickstarter going to make the album, but it didn't even have their name in the title (it was something like "Hey guys you might like my friends' band) and then this thread got started but hasn't gotten much activity. It's crazy how much has changed in all this time!

I just bought (2) of their CD's, (1) of their EP's, and (2) T-shirts based solely on this thread and one listen on YT!  :lol

My buddy and I like to give each other obscure music as birthday gifts. He'll get one of the CD's and one of the T-shirts on his birthday in June. Thanks everyone. This is really fun music!

So anybody planning to catch these guys on the tour with Coheed? They're coming to Denver Saturday. I really don't know Coheed's music at all/may not stay for their set but psyched to be seeing my friends play here! Didn't actually think that would happen.

Thought about going to the Denver show. Hate Coheed though so I'm not sure if it's worth it, would love to see TYS live though. Love the album.  :tup

Well, the tickets weren't too expensive from what I remember so I personally think it's worth it. The Fillmore is also extremely close to home for me so I can just stroll on over.

By the way what happened to Maps of Non-Existent places? I went to play it on spotify today and it was gone, then I checked bandcamp and it wasn't there either. And it's way overpriced on amazon. What's the deal?  ???

They've now signed with a new label and are about to re-release it as a remastered version. Just hold your horses for a bit longer.

I'm not sure of the point of the remaster, as the album sounds great to me already.

Will anyone else be at the Denver show tonight? I'm so psyched, it's kinda surreal to be seeing them here. Not sure if I'll stay for Coheed...

I really like this band.. I came across them from the WPAPU best of 2014 mp3.

I swore that the lead vocalist was claudio sanchez from coheed and was shocked to find out he wasnt but that they signed with his record label.

I wish they had more of a discography to listen to however.

Seriously, Maps still blows my mind. Their debut EP is pretty good, but nowhere near the same calibre. I NEED MORE MUSIC FROM THEM.

So here's a little story...

Back in mid 2011, I was playing bass in a Progressive Metal band called Jovian System, and our lead guitar player was putting together a show at the Cobblestone Village in Mountain Creek Water Park in Vernon, NJ. We were of course meant to be and were the headliner for the show since he was putting it together. He booked two other bands for the show and then told us "Hey, I wanna get these guys called Thank You Scientist to play as well. They're really cool."   And he did. They were local boys at the time. Our drummer was familiar with the band as well. No band was paid for this gig either, it was just a showcase at a little spot in the water park on a Saturday afternoon. There was a modest turnout, but everybody seemed to dig the music. Thank You Scientist went on before us, and as you can imagine, I was impressed to say the least. They did the gig without their violinist actually, and maybe one other guy was missing too. Later that year our band disbanded, but three of us still got together to go see Thank You Scientist at a small joint in Teaneck, NJ called Mexicali Live. I think it was an album or EP release show.  And I think it was shortly after that, our drummer from that band forced a burnt copy of Maps of Non-Existent Places on me. haha. It was good.  I think he gave it to me in early 2012, long long long before the re-mix re-master was issued.

Good to see kids from around my neck of the woods blowin' up.

Ludicrously speedy or infectious with the slow-mo

True dat. I heard about that show!

I don't like any of the bands they're touring with now but I will still go and at least see them this weekend.

I'm looking forward to Saturday's show. I love Periphery but I'd much rather see TYS headlining. Will be awesome to finally see this band live though.  :metal

Definitely didn't need Wovenwar in the lineup. They're so boring and one of their guitarists seems like a complete tool. Nothing More aren't my thing at all but they at least put on a good show. Would have loved to see TYS and Periphery just play a long ass set each haha.

I checked out the other two bands and while I don't remember which was which, I remember one being extremely bland and another not being my cup of tea but at least seemed like it'd be enjoyable at a concert. I'm going to assume Wovenwar is the boring one then.  ;D

Just TYS and Periphery would've been great. I looked at the Periphery setlist and it seems kinda short, a bit of a bummer if that's because there's 4 bands on the bill.

Anyway, I don't mean to complain, I'm excited for the show at any rate!

Spencer's been dealing with Strep Throat, but maybe he's gotten over it by now! I was lucky to catch the Tampa show because Spencer wasn't even able to perform in Ft. Lauderdale so they had to play an instrumental set at that one.

Oh yea I heard about that, I hope so! Although an all instrumental set could be cool. I actually enjoy Spencer's singing though, he doesn't seem very popular but he fits the music well enough.
