The band has performed over 1000 shows throughout the United States, Mexico, Canada, and the United Kingdom, touring with bands such as Andrew W.K., Japanther, Wheatus, MC Frontalot, mc chris, MC Lars, and Peelander-Z.

January 2008 - is a single released by Math the Band in November 2013. The song became the first single from the album Stupid And Weird, which will be released in 2014.
The video was loaded on YouTube channel at November 22, 2013. At the beginning it shows a girl, which is playing the slot machines. Then mother tries to take her back, but her phone rings, and while she is speaking on the phone, the girl creeps under the slot machine and enters the portal through which she penetrates into the forest. There she runs away from various monsters and beasts and kills them with gun. When "the strongets beast" is killed she turns to the game club (where her mother didn't notice her disappearance) with a large number of ribbons, which she gives to assistants in return for a saxophone (and the song begins to play saxophone). |
