Muse burst onto a staid and stagnating British music scene in 1999 with their first album (after a pair of EPs) "Showbiz". The band crept closer to their trademark style with the release of their second album "Origin of Symmetry" in 2001. Matthew Bellamy's falsetto was set loose and his guitar started taking on the arpeggio and pitch-shifted style for which they are known. Muse's third album, 2003's "Absolution" continued and expanded this lofty trend. The album debuted at number one on the U.K. charts, yielding four Top 20 hits. Muse embarked on their first international stadium tour, crossing the globe. In 2004, they played England's massive Glastonbury Festival. It was, they said, "the best gig of our lives." After Glastonbury and a family tragedy near that time, it took several weeks to get Muse's collective head back together.The band soldiered on. Muse kept putting on fabulous shows. In 2005, reward for their efforts came in the form of winning "Best Live Act" at the Brit Awards.

2006 brought the "Black Holes and Revelations" album. Here one finds Muse increasingly in thrall and simultaneously at odds with various styles, moods, and directions: European and Asian folk music, that of Turkey, Croatia, Africa and southern Italy fill "Black Holes and Revelations" with, well, ahem, black holes and revelations. These Turkish influences were added atop Muse's already heady mix of prog, alternative, electronica, classical, and heavy rock. Muse were indeed forging quite a unique metallic modern sound. Most recently, Muse's fifth album "The Resistance" breaks even more new ground. Released in 2009, it is the first L.P. to be produced by the band themselves. "The Resistance" has already garnered ultimately positive reviews. It is by far their most ambitious album, a classical music influenced gem, featuring a 13-minute, three-part song, "Exogenesis Symphony."

The Resistance Tour opened at the Hartwall Arena in Finland in October 2009 and continues on throughout 2010. Muse truly are the new road warriors of prog rock. Get your tickets now. A show this fresh and exciting is bound to sell out; buy Muse tickets here now.

When you witness Muse live it will change everything you think about modern music. They are that good. Muse have been redefining what it means to be a modern British rock band for years. Following the lead of Radiohead and Coldplay, Muse are not afraid to inject a healthy dose of grandeur into their music, Pink Floyd style mixed with the happy tenor of Queen. Muse mixes Queen's neo-classical pomp with modern doses of Soundgarden paranoia, Pixies attitude, and end-of-the-world urgency. Muse stirs their influences into a thrillingly cohesive mix. Muse shoots sparks in all directions. At times, they've been called "progressive," but this is not very Alan Parsons Project kind of stuff, not your dad's music, although he'd possibly love Muse. Progressive Rock bands like Yes and Genesis were often derided for wandering off to who knows where with their music. Muse keep the focus tight and sharp. Yet, Muse retain a "stadium rock" sound, in the best possible sense of the term: huge, loud, bombastic, rude and utimately fun.

The Resistance Tour features a stage spectacle that is leaving all jaws agape. If you purchase your ticket, you're in for seeing a live concert stage show without modern peers. The lights dim and the curtain rises to reveal three . . . skyscrapers? On stage? Suddenly lights are flashing everywhere and the top halves of the towers lift. There stand Matthew Bellamy, Christopher Woltensholme and Dominic Howard: Muse live. One man stands on each tower, thirty feet above the stage. They bust into a rebel rousing version of "Uprising." The electro-funk opener from their latest album "Resistance" get the crowd pumping. The towers light up exactly like the warm glow of a city skyline at night. Muse is tight, bringing it like a city on fire. The audience is basically freaking out, arms flailing, shouting along. And you are there, not just at a concert, but at an event, like finally seeing the modern soul of disgruntled youth having something to say, construction, thought, melody, and a hint of rage.
