Founded in 1949, the MIT Logarhythms is an a cappella performance group at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Initially a barbershop double quartet, the Logs (as their name is often foreshortened^[1]^[2]^[3]) have in recent years migrated to a more popular medium. Their current repertoire consists primarily of modern pop, hip hop, and classic rock, though their barbershop roots live on in a few tunes.

The Logs perform throughout Massachusetts and the New England area. Recent biannual tours have included performances around Washington DC, California, Michigan, and Texas. The group has earned songs on the Best of College A Cappella (BOCA) compilation albums from 2003, 2004, and 2005, and their album Soundproof received near-perfect marks in its review from the Recorded A Cappella Review Board^[4].
