The Matavaras are a rock/folk band from Halifax, Nova Scotia, and Toronto, Ontario. They were recently described by American college music magazine ’Hear/Say,’ as the ’perfect summer band.’ The same review also referenced their throwback sound as similar to ‘Nick Drake, just louder.’ Their musical influences draw from a very eclectic palate including The Clash, The Seeds, Simon and Garfunkel, The Band, and Big Star. A live show offers everything from upbeat garage-tinged rockers to finger picking 60’s style Greenwich Village folk. Their self-titled EP (2007) has charted on Canadian college radio and has been extensively played on the CBC. The Matavaras were also among selected artists to have a song featured on the hit ABC Family/Global TV series, 'Falcon Beach.' In the recent past they have shared the stage as openers for Jesse Malin and Matt Mays and El Torpedo, as well as having been invited to play such festivals as the Los Angeles based International Pop Overthrow Festival and the North By Northeast Festival.
