About Me

My name's Matt and I live in Omaha, Nebraska. When not working, I try to enjoy life with family and friends. I have been writing and playing original music for 20+ years, started out on guitar and later drums and bass in many different bands. Currently I play in local punk rock and roll bands Jealous Lovers(guitar and vocals) and the Upsets(drums.) I also amuse myself with writing and recording songs of various styles, and photography. Through it all, I spend quite a bit of time listening to and collecting lots of music, perhaps obsessively....Our band pages can be viewed at:www.myspace.com/allriotrecords, www.myspace.com/jealouslovers, www.myspace.com/theupsetsProfile edited with: CricketSoda Myspace Profile Editor

the Mentally Ill now on cd...

Awesome punk rock band that was formed in some gawdawful Illinois suburb and made a killer, super-rare 7 inch record back in 1978, the kind of band you usually find on the KBD comps. This cd feat...

Lewd conduct in a public place....

I was just recently turned onto this killer old punk band called the Lewd. Heard of them for years, but their stuff was obscure until a recent CD reissue. This is essential trashy punk rock from the ...
