Are You Mad Enough to Pound These Skins? Pt. 2 (What We're Looking For)

DFW/Denton's most divisive band, The Mad Scientists, seeks drummer. We are three piece band (Guitar/Vox, bass guitar, drums-that's where you come in) that makes experimental dark psychedelic jazz metal that explores the boundary between chaos and structure. We have played at a wide variety of venues across the state of Texas and will continue actively gigging as soon as you are familiar with the music. We are also developing an increasingly elaborate multi-media stage show and are working on the music for our follow up to the debut album, Geoparasitism.

We do require that you be able to practice at our practice space in Denton a minimum of 4 times a week while learning new material and 3 times a weeks once your more familiar. Also, be prepared to gig on a weekly basis with the out of DFW area shows once a month and assist in promotion for these shows.

To hear mp3s please go to www.TheMadScientists.biz or www.myspace.com/TheMadScientists.

What Reviewer's are Saying:
If you haven't seen them, they play this weird blend of psyche influenced rock with sharp funk rhythms and half shouted vocals. There is also some inexplicable guitar shredding to top it off but I've enjoyed them when I've seen or heard them. I prefer the originality of their music over a lot of Denton's "tasteful" retro country rockers, music theory students, jazz heads, and gear fetishists. - We Shot Jr - It List: Sat. 9/2/06

Welcome to the dark underbelly of experimental psychedelic jazz funk, where conspiracies have global relevance and humanity (to quote brilliant comedian Bill Hicks), is “a virus with shoes”. The Mad Scientists descend into their laboratory to blaze musical trails like hallucinogenic tracers, mocking and deconstructing the capitalism, competition, greed, selfishness, waste, and spiritual disconnection that lead our human race to the precipice of self-annihilation. Geoparisitism will challenge listeners musically and socio-politically. A few of the songs function as fine singles, but this eclectic fusion is rich with sonic layers and overarching lyrical themes, and so deserves to be experienced in full, with a macrocosmically enlightened ear. - Christopher Largen's Review of Geoparasitism on WarOnJunk.com
