Coming To Your Local Bandstand: Measle Mumps Rubella

We don't remember where, but in recent days we read a critic, or at least an aspiring critic, take issue with the name of the band Measles Mumps Rubella. Way to engage the material, buddy. Material which, as it turns out, is well worth the attention. Straddling elements of contemporary dance-punk and classic darkwave, MMR's debut full length Fantastic Success is full of tunes that strain with the push of sonic exploration and the pull of propulsive rhythm. It makes for a pretty gripping listen. And you can hear the band do its thing live in the coming weeks as it treks toward and then away from the annual South By Southwest music industry conference that most every one won't shut up about. For those of you not situated near a highway connecting New York and Austin, the band has more dates in May. Check 'em all out below.
