Beachies - South Padre Island Trip 2/2012

Picture

We had a blast this year @SPI in Texas.  Thanks to Surfrider for having us.  
A few mentionables…  someone vomited on someones leg.  We almost got kicked from the venue the night before we were supposed to play.  We scared over 200+ retiree’s in one sitting.  We swam in the ocean, ate 20 pounds of shrimp, lost a few debit cards, got to know hotel security pretty well and still made it home okay with minimal damage.  
Thanks to Longhorn Rental, Bill Burr, MM’s LAAADDDIEEEEESSSSS for joining us, Surfrider, Surfrider Central TX foundation, La Quinta Inn, Louie’s Backyard, Shrimp, Hot Tubs, COORS, Budweiser, Bud Light PLATINUMM XXX, Choke Creek Truck Stop, GO Pro, Italian Place I don’t remember eating at, everyone at Louie’s that supported us. And thanks to the powers that be for giving us a memorable great trip, we made it home safe and can’t wait to come back.

Greetings Ye Ole Bastards - February 2012 - MM is ALIIIVVVEEEE

Greetings, and thanks for stopping by our website.  We know, yes the website is a bit dusty, we’re working on that.  As you already know MM has been together 12+ years, going on 13.  We’ve recently taken on a new member, Evan Bozarth.  He joins us on the bass and vocals and whatever else we can find that makes notes.  This isn’t the first time we’ve tinkered around with ye’ole Eboz, in fact he’s been sharing stages with us for many years on and off.  He comes from Groovin Ground, the Trim, the Portal and many other Austin bands…  If you didn’t notice, he’s Dustin’s brother.   MM has been a bit stagnant for the last year or two playing here and there and not really having much direction at all.  We played a few gigs at Golden Corral and did Grego Fest and a few other local shindigs, but for the most part we’ve been laying low.  Well that shit is over, we’re getting back on the road so we rock yer f’n face off!  Not much to report on this very moment, we’ve got a show at Jovita’s in Austin coming up.  We’re planning some things in the background and we’ve got a show in Dallas coming up as well.  We recently released live at the Grenada Theater,  u want buy?  Anyway please check us out on Facebook and Twitter, etc.

Thanksgiving Throwdown

Moving Matter is teaming up with our good buddies ToasT to put on a very special post Thanksgiving party.  We anticipate some very special guests and hopefully some mix match jamming between bands.

The Flamingo Cantina will be hosting the event on Saturday November 27th.  ToasT will start the night off at 10pm.  The first 50 to attend will receive a free copy of Moving Matter’s 2005 studio release, InfraBlue.

We look forward to celebrating the many beautiful things we have to be grateful for, especially you, our fans.  Please understand that without you, we are like a thanksgiving dinner without a turkey.  So come on out you turkeys!

Dan McGreevy’s College Thesis

Dan took some classes on film editing during his college years at Colorado State University.  His final project was to create a video of some sort.  He decided to make a Moving Matter video of the song “Flight of Chance.”  He did a great job.  Please enjoy.

Party At The Pussycat Lounge

Yes, that’s right, there’s a party at the Pussycat Lounge in Dallas, TX on Friday June 25th.  It’s a special celebration for an old D-Town local visiting from Colorado.  Moving Matter is playing two sets at 10 pm with a DJ in between. 

Please come out early to get this party started.  Brobie 1 Kenobie is bumping the night off with his gnarly beats and sick syncopation.

Plan on staying up late for this one.  There’s an after party at the Time 2 Fly Music office.  Let us know if you need directions…
