9 Signs You're At A Math Gig.

Obviously you'd have to be really cool to go to a math gig.

1. Everyone has a beard.

Not the women: There aren't any.

2. Everyone is nodding their head at different times.

Those that have managed to nod on the beat will have a smug look.

3. The flyer gives you no clue as to what the gig is.

"Post-hype intro jazz with textured soundscapes and lo-fi garage-core."

4. There are more wires on stage than in Maplin.

"You don't play your guitar through 23 pedals, a kaoss pad, an iPad and a nectarine?"

5. You are not allowed to dislike the music.

"You don't like it? You probably just don't get it because you're not a musician."

6. You are drinking a can of Red Stripe.

A strange anomaly of math venues.

7. You actually buy something from the merch table.

So you can wear an appropriate t-shirt to the next gig you go to.

8. The music confuses you.

If it just sounds like noise you assume that it must be in a time signature you don't understand.

9. You secretly love it when the music drops into a standard time signature.

"Yes! I can tap my foot without counting."
