MY EDUCATION - "Snake in the Grass" live in Austin (5/17/03)

Austin's instrumental ensemble, My Education performs "Snake in the Grass" live at the Flamingo Cantina - Austin, TX on 5/17/03. "Snake in the Grass" is on the band's insightfully cerebral 2005 CD release, Italian. (Released on Thirty Ghosts Records)

Although sometime being compared to the likes of Explosions in the Sky or Mogwai, My Education further explores its artful music by adding keyboards, a viola, and a violin into the regular guitar, bass, and drums formula, thus achieving musical visions similar to Godspeed You! Black Emperor, yet MyEd still stands easily on its own.

"David Fricke of Rolling Stone called My Education's sound "advanced ecstasy" and announced the band as his "surprise find" at SXSW 2005, but plenty of fans from central Texas and all around the globe already knew that My Education are better than drugs: the pulse-pounding emotion of their visceral live shows and the lyrical beauty and dark grandeur of their recorded output had heralded this from the get-go."


Personally, I just can't seem to articulate the senses and emotions My Education conjures in my mind. The range of moods, the dynamics, the warmth, the hypnotic droning... how can words describe? I wish this band the best. I've been touched (as have many other Austinites), and hope others elsewhere in this universe will be.

Sincerely, TryLSDnow
