Put Down the Muffin - New Album (1st in 8 years)

9/13/13 7:25PM
1st song "Ten Pin" which is pretty sweet. Diggin the keyboard lead.


As far as the Kickstarter, they need a little under $2600, in just under 3 weeks. It seems doable, as long as they keep sharing the link/info.

1st album in 8 years. Not enough time to go in-depth, but PDtM were/are a great Minnesota-based instrumental I recall? jazz-fusion/prog band. They've sort of been on a hiatus for many years, but never really broke up officially.

I never saw them live, but meant to, namely in 2007 or 2008 the same evening I saw Dean Magraw's great band 8-Head play a reunion show at The Cedar Cultural Center. The 8-Head show was so good, I couldn't bring myself to leave during the set break to go see PDtM.

But maybe with this new album, a show or 2 will happen as well (maybe at The Artist Quarter?), and I will finally get to see them unlike that show conflict many years ago.

Also it might be worth adding, great Minnesota prog bands Between Two Skies and Bubblemath might take note of this campaign and it may serve as motivation to finally release their long-awaited next records. One can think/hope.
