MuttsMutts are a keyboard-centric, mercurial band often described as a unique blend of Tom Waits and Nirvana.

Although keyboards drive their sound, Mutts draw comparisons to bluesy rockers like Queens of the Stone Age and The Black Keys for music that is alternately danceable, psychedelic and heavy.

At their monthly unplugged residency, Mutts strip down to acoustic piano and upright bass.

All Mutts music is free to download at download.muttsmusic.com.

Live In-Studio Performance From Audio Tree:

Live Review:

Plenty of swing, a bit of soul and tons of conviction mark Mutts shows. Every one I have seen has a different twist. In this show the guys welcomed Yoo Soo Kim from the Hemmingbirds to play viola amidst the growl and prowl of Mutts bottom end rumble. It was interesting dichotomy to have the higher end of the viola in that setting… Mutts were supporting the release of their great EP The Tells of Parallels (My review HERE). Mike and the guys did a cover of “Little Wing” (Hendrix) to a crowd that was very amped. Great to talk to Mike and the guys afterward. – Dedicated Ears.
