Since forming in 1999, My Education has released 5 full-length albums, several singles, compilation appearances, and a 12" vinyl collaboration with avant-hip hop duo Dalek.
Recordings have been remixed by members of bands Kinski, Pelican, the Red Sparowes and Dalek. Albums include 5 Popes, Italian, Moody Dipper, Bad Vibrations and the latest
Sunrise out on Strange Attractors Audio House in the USA & Canada and on Golden Antenna in Europe.
In June 2010 the band
completed a series of improvisational recordings with Salt Lake City
ensemble Theta Naught that were edited and mixed by the Bump
Boyz in Headbump Studios and released April 2011 on Differential
Records. "Sound Mass" performances at festivals SXSW and Austin
Psych Fest were greeted with wild acclaim, and a Daytrotter Sound Mass session was released in July 2011. My Education's collaboration with the Noble Motion dance
company premiered to three sold out shows in June 2011 at the Austin
Ballet. More shows are planned under this collaboration in various
cities around the nation. Expect to hear a new album of Sunrise
remixes in 2011 as well as a limited edition live album from the 2010 tour and an out-of-print album ("5 Popes") remastered and
re-released in 2012 in a nice vinyl package. The band are currently keeping busy in the studio recording tracks for
a forthcoming new album and a European tour for 2012.
My Education are touring vets who have shared the stage with A Place to Bury Strangers,
Kinski, Bardo Pond, Maserati, Red Sparowes, Dalek, The Black Angels,
Warpaint, The Soundtrack of Our Lives, This Will Destroy You, Sleepy
Sun, White Denim, Radar Bros., Eluvium, Sian Alice Group, Don
