Mobius Band, Tigercity - $8 / 8:30 pm

Peter Sax, Noam Schatz, and Ben Sterling are Mobius Band. Their new album is called Heaven (due out on Misra October 2nd 2007).
The group started in earnest when they moved together to a small rural town in Western Massachusetts called Shutesbury (pop 1,800). Cradled in the Pioneer Valley and bracketed by college kids and semi-retired alternative rock stars, Mobius Band woodshedded for several years, rarely venturing out of New England until 2004, when Ben and Peter moved to Brooklyn’s quiet Carroll Gardens neighborhood.

There, the group picked up momentum, releasing their debut album, The Loving Sound of Static (Ghostly 2005) and embarking on a non-stop touring regimen, notching over 150 shows, including tours with neighborhood confederates The National and trans-Atlantic friends like Editors and Tom Vek. What at first seems like a mixed bag of associates (noir indie rock; junk-shop electronica) actually provides a rough triangulation of what Mobius Band is about—pop hooks grounded in experimentation, subtle musicianship, and a taste for ruminative lyrics.
