About this concert
Forming in the fall of 76, New Math went through a few lineup changes in their earlier years, but the core lineup consisted of enigmatic frontman Kevin Patrick, bassist Gary Trainer, guitarist Chris Yockel, drummer Roy Stein, and keyboardist Mark Schwarz. The band opened for big names like the Ramones, the Cramps, and Gun Club at now-extinct local clubs like the Triangle Theatre, The Penny Arcade, and of course Scorgies, practically the Maxs Kansas City or CBGBs of Rochester. The band also probably played there over a hundred times. Towards the end of the 1970s, New Math lit a spark in the local rock scene that also produced primal garage rock revivalists the Chesterfield Kings, adventurous post-punks Personal Effects, and pop-punk purists the Cliches. Before they changed their name to Jet Black Berries and wandered down the path of goth-tinged country blues throughout the 1980s, New Math hammered out an eruption of raucous tunes loaded with an endless supply of ascending guitar lines and catchy hooks, tapping the source code to amphetamine-fueled power pop. Last summer, Propeller Sound Recordings (The dBs, Current Rage, Love Tractor) unearthed an 11-track compilation of the bands early singles and unreleased material called Die Trying s been unavailable since the band started to gain a cult following. Sugar Tradition: Composed of guitarist-vocalist Antonio Keka, bassist Arlo Betley, and drummer Kevin Irwin, primal garage rockers Sugar Tradition have been tearing it up and leading the pack in Detroits current rock n roll scene that includes The Stools, 208, and Shadow Show. Following up a few limited releases, Sugar Tradition caught the attention of Sam Richardson of Feel It Records, who put out the trios latest EP More Sugar back in October 23. Sugar Tradition have managed to capture that raw, driving the classic Motor City fuzz sound in damn near perfect form on their latest EP thats a roaring fourteen minutes at 45 RPM. The young trio of rockers are one of the brightest sets of young heads on the face of planet rock n roll right now, and More Sugar proves that to a tee.Sastrugi: Rochester post-punk unknowns Sastrugi started out as a solo venture for Matthew Treadwell in 2017. A year later, Treadwell worked on four songs that eventually became the projects debut EP The Time: Night, engineered by Sam Snyder (Overhand Sam) and released in the summer of 2018. Since then, the project has been quiet, only playing a couple shows before the pandemic. However in October 23, Sastrugi returned to the stage to open for Memphis synth-punks Optic Sink with a newly-formed live lineup that now includes guitarist Anthony Lalena, bassist Brendan Merhab, and drummer Matthew OBrian. The bands sinuous guitar interplay and pounding, motorik rhythms supply perhaps the ultimate in lightheaded ecstasy with Treadwells mildly offbeat lyrics imitating the ascension into heaven.

Math Biography
There are three groups named Math
1. Kevin Steinhauser (MATH) writes around three or four songs every week. If he doesn't, he goes a little bit crazy, but that usually only happens with his other project: Math the Band. He has already self-released a variety of records featuring over 20 different songs each, though for Poni Republic, he officially selected 7 songs full of joy and non-sense topics over folkloric mandolins being mocked by upbeat basslines, dorky flutes, catchy Casio melodies and 4/4 beats; especially meant for you. His releases include a 2005 album called "Imaginary Everything", a 2006 release called "All Good Things All in Good Time" and an EP released by poni republic called "Nature".

2. MATH is a funky improvisational rock group. MATH was born in 1996 when Billy Riker, Joey Eppard and Ed Cercone got together to jam in Gram's Basement. Early on they used the name "The Ed Hot Billy Eppards" but eventually settled on MATH. The first rehearsal was recorded live to cassette via boombox and was all improvisation with no preconceived ideas whatsoever.
Over the next few rehearsals some songs were worked out whenever they found a moment to stop jamming. Their first show was at Graduation Party in uptown Kingston on the lawn in the backyard, a beautiful summer day. The local ice cream man, "Mr. Ding-a-ling," even stopped by. They performed all of the structured songs with the exception of one improv piece added in.
Throughout 1996-97 MATH performed at a various outdoor summer parties and even a meditational gathering. For these shows it was half improv, half songs and eventually becoming almost exclusively improv. The band took a break for the next few years occasionally getting together and jamming.
In early 2000 shortly after Riker joined 3, MATH got together for a magical reunion in the studio and recorded material that was done live and all improv, this time incorporating Eppard's vocal skills and additional backing vocals from the band. This was followed up one month later in May 2000 with an all improv live show in Woodstock which was also recorded.
Now in June 2007 MATH is reforming with new members Dave Bodie (of Time of Orchids and Counterfeit Disaster) on drums, Michael Schirmer on Keyboards and Max Oleson (of PEACEBOMB) on Vocals. All are masters of improvisation. They just recorded several hours of raw improvisational new material at Darkworld studio in Kingston, NY for what will become the new album, InsertYourNameHere.
3. Math was a no-wave klezmer free jazz death unit from Chicago circa 89-94. The core members were Jodie Mecanic (DUOTRON and MONOTRONA) Robert Rolston (QUINTRON) & Michael Colligan (FLYING LUTTENBACHERS).
