Biography
The Matinée has emerged as one of the west coast’s premier independent bands. Blending a passion for fine ale and finely crafted tunes, The Matinée offer a unique spin on a roots-rock sound that is quickly attracting both national and international audiences. Writing songs that paint pictures of empty bottles and broken hearts, & broken bottles and empty hearts, their collection of songs has now come to life.
Following their first release in July 2007, The Matinée embarked on two highly successful cross-Canada tours. With songs ‘Mama’ and ‘San Diego’ charting nationwide on Canadian College Radio, the band’s live show has struck a chord with audiences across the country. Combined with their recent addition to the B.C. Schizophrenia Reachout Program, The Matinée has performed for more than 25,000 high school/college students this year alone.
With four more Canadian tours under their belt and a follow up album scheduled for this coming Fall, 2009 looks to be a highly anticipated sequel for The Matinée. As they continue with their hard-nosed, do it yourself, blue collar work ethic, there is little doubt that this show is worth the price of admission. Hold on to your seats… it’s showtime for The Matinée!
