Another new weekly addition to xTDHx program: MELLOW MONDAYS. After a long weekend of partying we offer up some relaxing tunes to help you out with the symptoms of "The Monday's"- A disease we all suffer from at the beginning of each week. This week I'd like to introduce you to MATT & KIM.
Matt and Kim started out approximately six years ago, they had no idea how to play their respective instruments—a fact that makes the band’s success story almost as unique as their distinctive brand of synth-and-drums dance punk. After being forced to play their first show by a friend months after picking up their instruments, keyboardist/vocalist Matt Johnson and drummer/vocalist Kim Schifino played their first show as Matthew and Kimberly in October of 2004. After slightly altering their name they spent the next year playing every chance they could get in their home base of Brooklyn. In 2006 the band released their self-titled debut—which was instantly embraced by critics and fans alike. For starters, it was recorded at Matt’s parents’ house in Vermont that Kim describes as “being near nothing and surrounded by three cow pastures.” Or as Matt says, “I had a friend from New York come up once and he was like ‘How did you even find out about college?’” In other words, it’s pretty desolate.
Another band rising from obscurity in Brooklyn- I give you MATT & KIM :) Both of these songs are amazing. I really love their sound as well as their creativity. I like the idea of a two piece band with drums and synthesizer, its makes for a unique outcome.
