I have a hunch that the members of Don Caballero -- who could out-math pretty much any band out there -- were originally lumberjacks. I mean, let's face it: lumberjacks make good math rock musicians because of their natural logarithms. They definitely weren't just math students all their lives -- hell, most math students think General Calculus is a famous war hero! (Though, if General Calculus actually did exist, he probably knew how to integrate his troops together and differentiate between his enemies and his allies.)
Anyway, Don Caballero have recently announced details for their wow-that-was-quick, I-barely-noticed, that's-awesome-they're-still-around seventh album, Punkgasm. Recorded in Michigan with Al Sutton (no relation to JoMarie Sutton but possibly the long-lost cousin of Kasey Majorowicz), the album is set for release August 25 on Relapse Records (not sure about the North American release yet). Damon Che (drums/mastermind), Eugene Doyle (guitar), and Jason Jouver (bass) were kind enough to/coerced into sending the underlying equation for track "The Irrespective Dick Area," just for you incorrigible TMT readers:
Note the "pun" in Punkgasm tracklist:
* Ponytail
$ An Albatross
