Tonight: The Amygdaloids at The Bowery Electric

January 27, 2012

The Amygdaloids, Joseph LeDoux, Tyler Volk, Daniela Schiller and Amanda Thorp,  are four scientists who play rock and whose songs are based on the work they do at their day jobs.  Rosanne Cash appeared on their last album and they’ve played live with Lenny Kaye, Steve Wynn and The Kennedys.  Tonight’s show is the CD release show for their new EP, All in Our Minds.  No matter what their day job is, these guys really rock.

Music Video: The Amygdaloids (with Guests Lenny Kaye and Steve Wynn) – Brainstorm

October 12, 2010

The Amygdaloids are four scientists (Joseph LeDoux, Daniella Schiller, Tyler Volk, Gerald McCollam) who write song based upon their work. But not only are they a pretty good band, they travel in good company.  Here is a clip of their song Brainstorm with  Lenny Kaye (Patti Smith Band) and Steve Wynn (Steve Wynn & The Miracle 3, The Baseball Project and The Dream Syndicate) joining in on the guitar shredding. This live performance occurred on September 29th this year at Don Hill’s in New York City.  This is a long video, nine minutes in all, and the song actually starts 30 seconds in.

A tip of the hat to Claude Scales over at Self Absorbed Boomer who brought this show to my attention.  Not only is this a musical performance, there are science lectures, music videos and magic.  Even though I’ve not heard of The Amygdaloids before, the list of musical guests has sold me on this show, which is the release party for the Theory of Mind CD.  Here’s the rundown:

Lectures on brain and mind by Joseph LeDoux and Daniela Shiller (the science behind the songs);
Muisc by The Amygdaloids (Joseph LeDoux, Daniella Schiller, Tyler Volk, Gerald McCollam):
