Tabula Rasa
 

Tabula Rasa was a great find for me... I ended up at a bar (which is odd since I don't drink) one night to see a friend's band (whose music I don't really like) when they were opening for the Pittsburgh band Tabula Rasa. I'm from Pittsburgh(ish) and I'd never heard them. Well my friend's band was ok but Tabula Rasa really impressed me. I got their "The Role of Smith" cd that night.

Check them out at http://www.dork.com/tabularasa/index.html - there is a video there of one of their songs(not the very best one imo), plus a link to some mp3s I think. (It's very odd since when I go to their site from home, the mp3 link is not there, but it is at work. Maybe work makes me hallucinate.)

Anyhow, it's what they call "punk, post-punk, hardcore, post-hardcore, rock, indie rock, math rock, emo, screamo, or whatever else clever sub-genre you would like to call us!" I'd say it's good loud(mostly) music. I hear the post-rock and math rock stuff in there, not so much punk. They're too tight and complex to be punk.

Hey I was just at their site and they put up some mp3s...

is where they're hosted.

Never heard 'em, but I've heard OF them before. Now this is bugging me as to where and how...?

well, I thought I was fulfilling this request, but I got the wrong Tabula Rasa - I got the Scandanavian version. At least I tried...

Forgiven!
 

That's cool, don't worry about it. After listening to their cd again, I kinda realized that they might not really fit in with the Moon. It's kind of a more aggressive type of band that might not exactly gel with the other stuff on the station.

I just read on their site "While we were on the road we were informed that we are going to play Warped Tour this year on the Ernie Ball/Music Man battle of the bands stage. We were pretty suprised as I'm sure you are being that we are very un-punk sounding band." I was amused.

They need a new drummer apparently. So if anyone's interested, let them know! tabulapgh@yahoo.com
