The Muse live in concert!!

Last night I went to the Kool Haus with a few friends to see the Muse perform.  They were wicked!  I have always thought that their album sounded like and angry/venting radiohead, but I’ve changed my opinon after seeing them live.  They are much more rock and roll than I had originally thought.  They have a great stage presence and their sound is tight.

Here is a little excerpt from their bio courtisy of MTV.com:

The English rock trio Muse consists of guitarist/vocalist Matthew Bellamy, bassist Chris Wolstenhome and drummer Dominic Howard. Bored by the sleepy life their hometown of Teignmouth, Devon provided, the three friends began playing music together. They started the first incarnation of their band when they were all 13, changing the name of the group from Gothic Plague to Fixed Penalty to Rocket Baby Dolls as time passed. By 1997 the band settled on the name Muse and released their self-titled debut EP on Dangerous Records, followed by the Muscle Museum EP in 1998. The group’s emotive, Radiohead-like sound and live dates drew critical acclaim and industry buzz, and after a trip to New York’s CMJ festival, Muse signed a deal with Maverick Records. Singles like “Cave” and “Uno” preceded their debut full-length album Showbiz, which was released toward the end of 1999. Two years later, Muse issued The Origin of Symmetry and had a major hit with “Hyper Music.” In 2002, fans were treated to the double-disc live set Hullabaloo. Muse’s fourth album, Absolution, got the usual royal treatment upon its late 2003 release. Stateside fans finally got a taste of Absolution when it was released on Warner Bros the following March. A short North American tour in the spring coincided Muse’s spot on the fifth annual Coachella Music and Arts Festival in May 2004.

I highly recommend that you pick up their album if you haven’t heard them yet.  They just might be what youa re looking for.
