About Me

autodealer is matt richter. previously of the band final transmission, and currently of the band lanfair field, autodealer serves as an outlet for the really long boring multi-effected guitar/piano/tape hiss 3 a.m. wanderings and other assorted madness. the most recent effort, "ghost me" was available in two different editions (the regular old standard edition which is still in print and a fancy shmancy uber limited edition, which is now sold out). previous recording "stephen foster is on the cover" is no longer available (but if yr really nice, matt may make a cd-r for yous since he's cool like that).
since taking on the moniker autodealer in 2001, matt has played shows with the swords project (rip), maserati, mono, timonium, and more than a couple of shows with treluna, which was really fun because bobby (formerly of final transmission, llllllll, powerline, dispatcher, treluna, belamy embrace, pirate radio and currently of lanfair field and bobby mcelver) and matt play together a lot, both separately and together as lanfair field. if this all seems rather confusing and absurd, don't worry. it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me either.
autodealer is currently in a state of flux. i hope to continue writing and recording, but live shows are doubtful for the forseeable future. i'm just gonna go ahead and call autodealer a studio project and hope that I'm able to resume my duties with Lanfair Field sometime soon.
You can now purchase "Ghost Me" via PayPal! Just click that there button, and do what the computer tells you. We're all going to have to take orders from robots eventually, so may as well get used to it now.

autodealer loves control

Just saw Control, the Anton Corbijin directed Ian Curtis biopic. It was amazing. I've been a fan of Joy Division for a long time (since High School or so?). The first band I was in was called Final Tr...

autodealer is enamored of six feet under

So, in the absence of any instruments or suitable recording equipment whatsoever, matt has embarked on the only viable option available to him under the circumstances: watch every TV show every releas...

Plans? Fuck 'em. So, originally, I was heading up to Portland beginning of next year. Not happening now. Due to some pretty crappy financial circumstances and ill timed car accidents, I'm gonna be stu...

autodealer is a capitalist whore

As the titles implies, I'm only in it for the money. To that end, you can now purchase "Ghost Me" via Paypal! You can purchase the regular edition, anyway, because the Uber Special Ultra Limited Editi...

Busy busy busy

So by now, I'm sure you've all already swooned over the new Lanfair Field track, but couldn't help but think "That's really good, but it's so...poppy!". Worry not. I've resumed writing new material fo...

new/old autodealer

Hey there kids. 'Bout time for an update, I reckon. Working on 3 old tracks about to be new again. I didn't think it would work, but I've managed to record some classics as acoustic pieces. I'm editi...

OK- so that subject was the first thing to pop up after I typed the ellipses. It has no relation to autodealer, but I thought it was kinda apropos. Anyhoots-So, I have moved. Unpacked? Not so much. To...
