You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.199.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 12:56, 12 May 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

==Biography==

Math and Physics Club began as a basement project for longtime friends Charles Bert (vocals) and James Werle (guitar). Their first release was a digital-only single on Comfort Stand Recordings which featured an early version of the song "Graduation Day", along with a b-side titled "Everybody Lies". Both songs featured keyboards by early collaborator Andrew Hall, according to the Comfort Stand web site, and who is also credited with playing keyboards on two songs on their first EP, and is credited as a co-writer with the band on the song "Nothing Really Happened" on their third EP. By mid-2004, the band's lineup featured Kevin Emerson on drums, Saundrah Humphrey on violin, and Ethan Jones on bass. The band's initial demo attracted the attention of both Jimmy Tassos of [[Matinee Recordings]] and the influential [[KEXP]] DJ John Richards. As they played their third show in December, they were already receiving considerable attention, including frequent spins on [[KEXP]].

The four-song EP ''[[Weekends Away (EP)|Weekends Away]]'' was released in February 2005 and received heavy radio play on stations such as [[KEXP]] and [[WOXY.com|WOXY]], picking up several reviews from the indiepop press. By late spring the band finally had a handful of shows under its belt, including a few West Coast stops with new labelmates [[The Lucksmiths]], and an appearance at the annual [[Sasquatch! Music Festival]] (headlined by the [[Pixies (band)|Pixies]]). The ''[[Movie Ending Romance (EP)|Movie Ending Romance]]'' EP was released in July 2005 to further reviews and growing live audiences. The audience at the San Francisco Pop Festival saw them perform 'A is for Alphabet' with [[Razorcuts]] leader [[Gregory Webster]] on vocals.

In September 2005, the band enjoyed playing to a packed crowd at Seattle’s [[Bumbershoot]] music festival. Shortly afterward, the band began recording their debut LP ''[[Math and Physics Club (album)|Math and Physics Club]]'' which was released a year later in October 2006, meriting a favorable review from [[Pitchfork Media]]<ref name="Pitchfork" /> and named "Best Indie Pop Album of 2006" by [[PopMatters]].<ref>((cite magazine| last =Heaton| first =Dave| title =Best Indie-Pop of 2006| magazine =[[PopMatters]]| date =2006-12-13| url =http://www.popmatters.com/pm/features/article/8708/best-indie-pop-of-2006/| accessdate =2008-06-10 ))</ref> The band's third EP ''[[Baby I'm Yours (EP)|Baby I'm Yours]]'' was unveiled on October 1, 2007 with a short tour through southern California. Saundrah left the band in late 2007, and drummer Kevin Emerson left the band officially shortly thereafter, although he has continued to drum on their recordings. In the summer of 2009, they began recording their second full-length album at Jupiter Studios in Seattle with producer Martin Feveyear (Mark Lanegan, Presidents of the USA), which emerged in June 2010 as ''I Shouldn't Look As Good As I Do.'' Bassist Ethan Jones toured with indie-rock three-piece Eux Autres briefly between 2010 and early 2011, playing shows supporting Wild Flag on the West Coast of the US, and touring the UK, France and Italy.

In the Summer of 2011, Math and Physics Club toured the UK for the first time, with stops in Glasgow, Manchester, London, Nottingham and at the Derby-based Indietracks festival. In August 2012, they began recording their third LP in at K Records' Dub Narcotic Studio, with Bob Schwenkler engineering. On January 23, Matinee Recordings announced on their Facebook page that this material would be released in 2013 as ''Our Hearts Beat Out Loud''. The group's fourth album, ''Lived Here Before'', was released on January 26, 2018.<ref>((cite web|url=http://shop.fikarecordings.com/album/lived-here-before|title=Lived Here Before, by Math and Physics Club|website=Fika Recordings|accessdate=6 April 2018))</ref>

Bert and Werle were both raised in [[Olympia, Washington]], home of [[K Records]] and [[Kill Rock Stars]], and they soaked up a thriving indie music scene.<ref>((cite news| last =Asher| first =Tizzy| title =Night life: The club scene| page =5| newspaper =[[Seattle Post-Intelligencer]]| date =2005-07-22))</ref> Before convening Math and Physics Club they were in a band called Drive Car Girl (named after a [[Beat Happening]] song). They played about a dozen shows at local clubs and coffee houses with a set of 12-15 original songs, along with covers of songs by [[R.E.M. (band)|REM]], [[Nancy Sinatra]] and [[Kraftwerk]]. Former members of Drive Car Girl include Brent Cole [[Whats Up Magazine]] and Sean Berry [[Double Crown Records]]. Elsewhere, Ethan shared guitar chords with high school friend [[Carrie Brownstein]] and later, as a student at [[The Evergreen State College]] featured in [[Jenny Jenkins]]' musical "Love Is Stupid" opposite [[Mirah]]. Ethan also began the Internet's first Beach Boys related mailing list, called "surfsup", in January 1994.<ref>((cite web| title =PSML: Pet Sounds Mailing List |url = http://www.cabinessence.com/brian/pet-sounds/| accessdate =|archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20011030073741/http://www.cabinessence.com/brian/pet-sounds/|archivedate = October 30, 2001 ))</ref>
