MATT LANDIS
Indie / Ambient / Pop
Matthew Landis is a Philadelphia area singer, keyboardist and
songwriter. He is currently in the process of spending a large amount
of money that he probably can’t afford to spend in order to record his
debut EP (all the burned CD’s he’s been giving out for years don’t
count apparently). He has been performing mostly in the Philadelphia
area for several years. He was named stand out performer for March
2006 at the Philly Rising Open Mic Competition at World Cafe Live and
subsequently performed at the World Cafe Live Downstairs as part of
CREAM: The Best of Philly Rising in January 2007. Matthew has shared
the stage with the likes of Erik Petersen (of Mischief Brew fame),
Hezekiah Jones, The Spinning Leaves, Emilyn Brodsky, Disciples of
Groove, The Blue Method, and more. He has performed as a sideman
playing keyboards for Philadelphia area artists Joshua Park (including
providing keyboards for his current ep, “One Wish” recorded at Turtle
Studios in Philadelphia), Dawn Iulg, Bosco and Peck. He is also one of
the keyboard players for national (and international) touring act and
Chunksaah Records artist the World/Inferno Friendship Society, having
toured Europe and the Northeast with them. “Although missing the
familiar handlebar mustache of Franz Nicolay, the group sufficiently
compensated with newcomer Matt Landis, a menace at the
keyboard.” (source: http://www.theway903.com/blog/?p=32) In closing,
Matthew believes in the proposition that art should never be boring
and complacent and that it should, in fact, be good. He also believes
that most art fails to live up to these standards. This has led many
to accuse him of being cynical or arrogant. While his detractors may
be right, Matthew believes that all in all, he’s a pretty nice guy.

Folk Rock / Healing & EasyListening

AUSTIN LUCAS
Americana / Country
Austin Lucas, descendant of a family from Indiana to whom making
bluegrass and folk music comes as natural as breathing, escapes his
environment by throwing himself on punk and hardcore music.
Participation in a row of obscure bands leads him to the Czech
republic in the end. He performs solo and plays in the Orc-core group
Guided Cradle. To everyone’s surprise he arrives at the family’s gate
with the announcement that he wants to record a cd. The furniture of
the living room is pushed aside and exchanged for a tangle of
amplifiers, boxes, microphones and miles of cables. Father Bob is a
complete band by himself and sets himself behind the mixing table.
playing banjo, violin, ukelele, guitar and sings in the background.
His sister Chloe Manor sings a few duets with Austin and quadruped
Flicka growls and rhythmically scratches the itching spots on her
body. Surely the lyrics Austin wrote for the eight songs do itch as
well. The carefully cultivated crust of our society is blown to
smithers with the stroke of a sledge hammer. Like an americana punk
variation on Kafka alienation and general collapse of modern mankind
are put into strong lyrics, and all of this in a voice that tears open
the earth. Between the opening chorus My breath is a hammer/ My
insides are taxed like an anvil/ My heartbeat’s a tremor/ And I have
not love but for nicotine and the closing verse I was cursing the
flaws of my ignorance and youth a textual and musical zenith in light
music unfolds in our still so young century. -koos gijsman, heaven
