About Me

The Matinees
A San Francisco boy/girl duo, creating stripped-down guitar-based songs that are alternately fervent, bouncy and pensive.
Formed in 2005, The Matinees are PF Dumanis, former keyboardist of glam rock band Blue Period and Jaime Borschuk, former guitarist and vocalist of Plan to Pink. Borschuk also creates low-fi home recordings under the name The Bright Grey Wing.
