Band of the week: Noumenon

I'm going to start posting a "band of the week."  The purpose is to give amazing yet relatively unknown bands the exposure they deserve.


Noumenon hails from Madison, Wisconsin and Syracuse, New York.  They play complex, energetic, tappy/mathy stuff in the vein of dakota/dakota, Volta Do Mar, and Don Caballero.  I just saw these guys play in a basement last Saturday night, and their live show blew me away.  Despite their short set, they were really tight and had the crowd going crazy.

You can download a high-quality version of their newest demo, The Megaladon vs. The Blue Whale (Concept Albums Are Fucking Stupid), on their MySpace page.
