Moving Matter

On this wonderful Friday, the 29th of May, we will be teaming up with Grimy Styles and Toast to take over the Parish Room of Austin, TX.

Eboz will be tuning you in to the lost, yet mystical land of UHF corneal imagery strewn over a junkyard of old TV's.

Synaesthesiax, headed by Jonezy, will be unleashing the Death Blossom of lighting into your soul.  Synaesthesia is a neurologically based phenomenon in which stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway leads to automatic, involuntary experiences in a second sensory or cognitive pathway.

There will be live, extraordinary painting by The Blender and Tourmaline Todd.  Mind you it is Tourm-Todd's Bday as well... make good wishes.

The first rule of Night Club is... TALK about Night Club.  In other words, spread the words.
We love all of you like family.

This Friday at Nat's Pub, the Matter will be rippin it up for the Lake Travis folk.
Arrive at 10pm, grab your favorite libation from Jorge and get yourself situated for some FACE ROCK.

As we break into the spring here of a lovely 2009,  lets take a second to reflect on the great times that have been a part of the Matter's lives.  First, we had a wonderful time at Maxfest III in January.  It's always such a pleasure to be able to play for Max all these years and this year was no exception.  We had our good buddies Robby and Myshack in town and were so fortunate enough to have Robby be able to sit in on keys and piano for a couple songs;  just like the old days! 

Next, we dove headfirst into one of the biggest shows that the Matter has ever seen....  the infamous MM 3D show at the Parish in late February.  This was the first time that the Matter was able to headline the Parish and be in charge of producing a really fun project.  For those of you that didnt make it down,  we missed you, it was an indelible experience and we are still hearing friends and fans rave about it.  We're pretty sure that we will be doing another one of those as it was just too much fun.  Big props to Skapple, the Blender, Fatty Lumpkin, Toast and Funkotron for making that such a wonderful night of audio and visual pleasure!!

Lastly, we finally got to headline our favorite venue in Texas, the Granada Theater.  This place couldn't get any more special for us.  The sound, the vibes, the staff, the lights, the in-house photographer, our main man 'G'.....  it just doesnt get any better.  We headed up to Dallas this past weekend to rock the Granada.  The weather was perfect and the wine flowed like women and the beer flowed like scotch.  We felt so comfortable up there playing and were very confident about the outcome of the show.   And those are two things in any musicians life that make them happy, happy. 

Furthermore, we got a great recording and HD video out of this whole deal so look forward to that as soon as we can get it mixed down to one file.  For now, the audio mix is available to download for free HERE.  That particular recording is mixed down using 60% soundboard and 40% audience mic.   Sounds pretty damn good if we do say so ourselves!  Give us a little bit to get that HD video cut down for public viewing, we're working on it.  Thanks~
