Miracles of Modern Science
Miracles of Modern Science began life in 2004 as a sea-shanty-spouting string band at Princeton University, formed by orchestra drop-outs and jazz band rejects. In 2005, they found a drummer and plugged their miniature orchestra into amps. From then on, their ecstatic live shows ignited hip-shaking parties to instruments grandma might have waltzed to.
Since moving to Brooklyn in 2008, Miracles of Modern Science have shared the stage with Dan Deacon, Gang Gang Dance, Micachu & The Shapes, Ponytail, Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson, and Au Revoir Simone at packed venues ranging from Brooklyn DIY strongholds to the Waldorf Astoria Hotel. Buzz surrounding these performances earned Miracles of Modern Science the title of “Artist of the Month” at The Deli Magazine, Featured Artist at JezebelMusic.com, and most recently, one of Spin Magazine’s “25 Must-Hear Artists” at the 2009 CMJ Music Marathon.
