1st Official Live Show Announced

Posted by MATTOWAX  Published in General News

Hi all -

The first official live performance by MATTOWAX will take place at the Milkboy Coffee Acoustic Cafe, which is located at 824 West Lancaster Avenue in Bryn Mawr, PA (610-527-0690) - on Saturday night, June 7th.  The show is part of the “Artstravaganza”, helmed by our own Todd Marrone - and will feature live sets by both MATTOWAX and The Hulihees. The MATTOWAX set is particularly exciting since we will be playing several new songs for the first time, including the much asked-for “Most Likely To Succeed” off of the latest EP. We’ll also be using some new looping technology to get a fuller sound in small acoustic environment with less player and less volume…we’re very excited about it!

Of course, an evening with The Hulihees is always worth coming out for - there will be plenty of Handsome Ron’s signature tunes and banter, in a stripped-down acoustic format…so, lots of “New” even for those familiar with the “Old”.

The Artstravaganza will feature:

1. Todd’s Month-Long Art Show: “Withdrawn”, a series of discarded library books on which he paints on the cover sand rigs them to hang on the walls. In his words, “it will be literally liter-tastic.”

2. The aforementioned
June 7th Reception Musical Performance

3. The
June 7th Reception Art Performance: Todd will join the bands on stage to make a couple of live paintings. He’ll also hand out FREE custom artwork to patrons and adoring fans.

Everything kicks in at 8:00 PM - we look forward to seeing you!

1st Publishing Deal

Posted by MATTOWAX  Published in General News

In a very cool recent development, we just received word from a German publishing company that they’re interested in a publishing contract for the track “Most Likely To Succeed” off of the new EP! We’re still working through the details to figure out what that will entail and how it’ll work, but this is an exciting first step into the publishing world for us. Hopefully the first of many!

First MATTOWAX EP Goes To Press

Posted by MATTOWAX  Published in Studio News

Hi all - the first MATTOWAX EP, titled “Most Likely To Succeed”, is finished and about to be shipped off to the presses - both real and digital. A rare few promotional copies are being pressed onto CD, but the official release is digital-only and should be up on iTunes (and other purveyors of digital goodness) hopefully sooner rather than later (however, it can sometimes take up to a couple months…gulp…). Still, clips can be heard on the sounds page, and new music is coming soon!

Also, a live version of the group has been practicing as of late (it looks an awful lot like the Levelheads of yore!), so we may be taking the show on the road as early as the Spring.

Anyway, we CAN give you a sneak peek at the album artwork - recently finished in the nick of time by
soon-to-be-papa Todd Marrone. Check it out!
