Pnuma and Motet New Years Run

So anyone who attends these shows have to ride the white poney to be real 80's right??

Pnuma should be the opener for all three shows.

I will be seeing this for New Years. The Motet is the most underated band on the scene. These guys are awesome , their new direction is really interesting. Pnuma ,IS opening every night.

Pnuma Rules! I'll be there fo sho!

the motet are the home town heroes. yeah pnuma will open for them.

the motet album instrumental dissent is worth buying!! I love it. peace.

Having seen Pnuma 3 or 4 times, with and without the guitar player (god the name escapes me all of a sudden). I must say its often monotonous, I also find that it annoying that the drummer who has only been playing drums for what not even 6 years now, every newbie college kid thinks he is amazing. You wanna see a drummer go listen to Billy Cobham or Neil Pert. The Motet however can make some badass instrumentals that keep you thrilled to dance.

I agree with u mrkrinkle. also, apt q258 aka jeff sipe is a real badass drummer. I love Billy Cobham too. Mike Clark was in the headhunters and he is a great drummer. SCI michael travis is very talented too. Umphreys Mcgee drummer is fantastic as well. word!

well they actually never had a guitar player in the band... hence Pnuma "TRIO". Ryan from signal path was touring with them in 06. and the drummer is pretty good, not saying he's god or anything, but he can totally keep the untz untz untz in motion. i dig the key player!

I know its a trio, which is why i said with and without the guitar player Yeah i guess he can keep the "untz's" going as you say, but hiting the cymbal and kick repeatdely and then a fast drumroll isnt what i call noteworthy acheivement. But I always thought the Keyboard player looked JUST LIKE Steve-O

haha he does kinda. i dont know, i think the drummer is a perfect fit for those guys, keepin it tight and sharp.

I wish they would take this out on the road! Both are great bands that I've never seen live. Maybe they'll add Signal Path to the bill & do a bunch of east coast dates. One can only wish.

Krinkle,

believe it or not many good drummers find Neil PEART overrated. Billy Cobham is an amazing drummer but I've never heard him play like a drum machine. Playing steady 4 on the floor beats may not sound technically amazing but being able to do so while holding tempo and adding creative fills is pretty complicated. Pnuma's drummer is good at what he does and he fits the music. To compare him to some of the greatest drummers over the last 20 years is kinda like apples and oranges. Yeah they both play drums but styles-wise they're on different planets. Besides, Neil Peart may be an amazing drummer but I've never danced to a Rush song.

If you're in the midwest, check out Tripod. Saw them a coupla times in Milwaukee, once with Pnuma Trio, and they are a good ol' booty-shakin time.

nfenne if you read i said i was tired of these college kids who took E their first time and went to see a band at a bar and claim with exuberance that he is outstanding. John Theodore and Thomas Pridgen(The Mars Volta) are as technical as Neil Pert and I have danced to them for 2 hours straight. Also I myself have grooved and danced to Rush, but thats probaly just me. Just saying, many people find the beat in different things. Not saying Pnuma's drummer isnt talented, their music just doesnt allow them to show it. But I think I have posted enough on this board, time to move on.

pnuma sucks...what a waste of 5$ dollars.
