Bio
.. ..Matson Jones featured two cellists/vocalists, a drummer, and an upright bassist. No one was named Matson Jones -- the band's name was a sly art world reference. But with the intriguing harmonies and sawing cellos of Martina Grbac and Anna Mascorella out front and a straightforwardly driving rhythm section of Ross Harada (drums) and Matt Regan (bass), the Fort Collins, CO-based quartet created a raw sound close to conventional indie rock. .... No guitars, of course, but still. There were also comparisons made to PJ Harvey and Rasputina. Though Grbac and Mascorella had collaborated previously, it was with the 2003 establishment of the quartet lineup that their sound really came together. Local buzz developed quickly, helped along by shows with prominent locals like DeVotchKa. .... Matson Jones issued their self-titled debut in June 2005 through Sympathy for the Record Industry, followed by an EP, Albatross Mates for Life But Only After a Lengthy Courtship That Can Take Up to Four Years, in 2006. — Johnny Loftus, All Music Guide .... Get the album at ..Amazon.., ..eMusic.., or ..Audio Lunchbox... .... *this is a fansite, members of the band are not directly involved. for serious inquiries, contact ..Jason Cotter. info@niteowlbooking.com........ .... -

10 of 196Moresuch beautiful music...makes me feel terrible for writing the punk rock songs such as i do...
thanks for being friendly :)

peace!
Figures that after Pandora gives me an artist i really like, i find out you're broken up...
I've been listening to you guys over and over lately. Wondering when you plan on escaping CO and coming out to the NW. It's not that far.
was hoping that you were coming to seattle area soon. please post anything if you do decide to come!
Rock on guys, I totally dig your sound!
