MuteMath on Tonight Show

What is it with Christians and vampires? We all know about Anne Rice, but did you realize that the band MuteMath that sings "Spotlight" in the Twilight movie has Christian roots? Well, it's kinda controversial.

The story, as told by Wikipedia, goes as follows: Several of the member of MuteMath used to be in a decidedly Christian band called Earthsuit. When the band reemerged as MuteMath it was without the Christian moniker. Band member Paul Meany told Boise Weekly:

For us, we just try to keep it simple. We're obviously a band; that's really all we ever wanted to be from the very beginning without catering to any particular genre or political or religious agenda. We just want to make music with no barriers.

Warner Music Group, however, still had it in their heads to market MuteMath as a Christian band, which in mid 2005 led to a little thing called the Teleprompt Controversy.

In 2005 MuteMath had won a Dove Award (the Christian equivalent of a Grammy) for Best Modern Rock Song, "Control." Three years later, post Teleprompt Controversy, they were nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Short Form Music Video for "Typical"; they were not nominated for a Dove Award.

Have Christians turned their back on the band now that they are not labeled a Christian band? Or are Christians stuck inside such a bubble that they are not even aware of music if it is not marketed directly to them?

Will Twilight fans will be the only ones to watch when MuteMath performs tonight on the Tonight Show?
