We recently had the pleasure of sitting down with friend and fan, Peter Bean, to discuss the idea of creating a new website that is simple, entertaining, engaging and fun all at the same time.  Peter's idea was for us to involve as many people as possible in the project and keep the community that we have at the live shows as growing as the one we have here on MovingMatter.com.  We discussed Myspace.com and how much of an impact it has had on the music industy and social scene and more importantly why.  The answer:  fresh ideas, new topics, the ability to interact, and fan involvement. 

We also realized that because we didn't offer any of those things on our old website, it suffered immensely and had very few recurring visitors.   For this we apologize and say "No more of dat shit!"  We also drew back to the notion that we, as a band, are trying to create and maintain a community here -- in real life and on the world wide web.  Therefore we have created a Blog section that will hold all kinds of new and appealing content including MM news, music news, world news, personal news and of course the Video Du Jour.  Everyone can, and is encouraged, to check in daily for shit that might make you think, laugh, listen or feel.  You can comment freely on any News or Blog item and again......PLEASE DO, we want to hear from you!!  Make sure and let us know what you think of these ideas and any site comments or recommendations you might have by simply commenting on this news item itself or by going to our Contact page and hitting us up with an email. 

Essentially, we would like for MovingMatter.com to be a place that you put in your browser "quick links" area and/or bookmark area and that you visit once a day just to pop in and speak your mind or watch a vid or two......all the while listening to some good ole Matter while you're chillin.   We want MovingMatter.com to be an entity itself and not just another band site that you log on to see what shows are coming up.  Thats the old, live in the now...

Cheers,
Chris, Josh, Dustin, Danny
