When listening to this band your mind’s eye finds itself being sucked through a gramophone shaped tunnel and dropped into a realm of cinematic surrealism, spoon bending noises and timeless rock ’n’ roll. They sound as if they’ve taken the brains of Quentin Tarantino, Tom Waits and David Lynch, seasoned them with opium, stuffed them into a meat grinder and baked them in a junkyard on the sun. So step through the fur padded elevator doors and press one of the shiny buttons, you’ve entered the looking glass world of Matt Boroff & the Mirrors.
A singer / songwriter / guitarist from Northern New Jersey Matt Boroff spent the nineties playing clubs and touring with his former band Planet Dread. In the late nineties he began playing solo gigs in NYC during which time he met his future Austrian wife Marion Keckeis. Matt and Marion visited Austria in 2000 where Matt met drummer Little Konzett. Matt and Little teamed up and began playing frequent club tours solidifying a raw yet intimate sound that swung without warning from one end of the dynamic spectrum to the other. After a few line up changes they released their self-titled debut album in 2004 on Lo-End Records. Later that year the debut album was met with much critical acclaim that propelled them to new heights and exposed them to a wider audience. In January 2005 German bassist Rolf Kersting joined Matt and Little on tour and ended up becoming a full time member. With Rolf on bass the band’s triangular chemistry took a noticeable leap forward on the 2006 release of their 2nd album "Ticket To Nowhere".
After two years of steady touring the band headed into the studio again in October of 2007 to record what was to become their 3rd studio album "Elevator Ride". "Elevator Ride" will be released in March of 2008, to be continued.........
