Remember that Mutemath’s 2015 sold-out tour? Now’s your chance to see them again at First Avenue this Sunday, April 3rd. This will be the proper Vitals tour, meaning that they’ll be playing plenty of tracks from their latest album.



Paper Route will open the show. The band previously opened up for Imagine Dragons and Passion Pit. Although their upcoming album isn’t out yet, the trio recently shared “Laugh About It” single. Singer JT Daly noted, “We like to work within the limitations that come with being far away from everything. It keeps us uncomfortable in a way that ends up being really inspiring.”



The last time we saw Paper Route, they opened for Copeland in 2009 at a really crowded all-ages show, and said “Paper Route are also from Nashville, Tennessee. The band consists of dueling vocals between J.T. Daly (keyboards) and Andy Smith (guitars).”
