You may or may not learn anything with Mr. Vale's Math Class but you're guaranteed to have a good time. From Portland, Oregon, this six piece funk band has horns that knock down the door and percussion-laden grooves that are the perfect accompaniment to any dance party.
Mr. Vale's Math Class is more than the sum of its parts—the six-piece funk band brings rollicking dance-party vibes backed by zippy horns, wink-and-a-nod lyrics, and an energizing stage performance to the Pacific Northwest and beyond. If only high school math class were this much fun.
Oscillating between playful and serious, the band riffs its way through blues, funk, and jammy notes from bygone eras, with modern, fresh lyrics that feel plucked from a math wizard's hat. Rest assured, Mr. Vale's Math Class will have you grooving to the golden mean, even if you can't find your protractor or remember how to do quadratic equations.
Mr. Vale's Math Class seeks to evoke curiosity and create moments of play. Through our songwriting they explore anxiety and complex emotions, hoping to normalize the absurdity of being human and invite listeners to move their bodies, laugh, shout, and take life a little less seriously.
