1st MATTOWAX Live Show Report

MATTOWAX — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 15:48:52 +0000

Thanks to all who came out to see the first live performance of MATTOWAX on Saturday night - it was a small, stripped-down affair but had a great intimate feel to it and we were thrilled to play a lot of this material live for the first time. Thanks to Brian Jacobs and Lisa Starke for filling out the lineup this time around, and of course to Todd Marrone for providing the visuals and the opportunity to play! Hope to see you again soon…the next EP is well underway and will definitely be released in 2008 - stay tuned!

1st Official Live Show Announced

MATTOWAX — Mon, 12 May 2008 14:45:28 +0000

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 players 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 Todd’s Month-Long Art Show: “Withdrawn”, a series of discarded library books on which he paints on the covers and rigs them to hang on the walls.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

MATTOWAX — Sun, 30 Mar 2008 20:37:42 +0000

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!

Next EP Well Underway!

MATTOWAX — Sat, 29 Mar 2008 20:35:02 +0000

We’ve had a lot of positive response so far on the new EP, and we’re happy to announce that we’re already more than halfway finished with the next EP - which will hopefully be ready by late Spring/early Summer. Tracks will include:

Leroy Nemoy
Just Like Home
Everything I Know Is Wrong
Clean

Onward and upward!

First MATTOWAX EP Goes To Press

MATTOWAX — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 14:50:36 +0000

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!
