  • Bio

    On May 13, 1984 the gods of rock and roll blessed Eileen and Randy Henderson with a beautiful 17 pound 1 ounce baby boy. They would call him Matthew, which means Facemelting Solo in Hebrew. It was prophesied in the August 1979 issue of CREEM Magazine that Matthew would unite kids from every scene (excluding Post Neo Absurdist Screamo) in a way that only paralleled that of a young Jerry Lee Lewis. Under the tutelage of Gilmore Deans, Toronto’s pre-eminent eighth grade music teacher in the late 90’s, Matthew found his sound and ran with it (this would later be referred to as his ‘Sgt. Pepper era’). Matthew plays acoustic guitar, synthesizer and games with girls’ hearts, all at a university level. With an ear for melody and the sensitivity of a woman, Henderson (appropriately nicknamed “Tendershot” by the now defunt group Skirtchaser) writes indie pop gems to melt the hearts of the masses. Please keep Matthew Henderson in your prayers. By 32 Flavor Freddy with files from Matt Henderson

    A starfish's lifelong hallucinations of gelatin pools and of actuaries floating upon the foam and reciprocal ohm. You have not yet reached the height of your creativity. Your eyes show as many deep and full shades of fire as a volcano in heat. The skin I shed is a perfume that makes water bubbles so terribly clear to me. I love your eyes, I know they can stare through my thoughts. Entranced by the sweet harmony of your lips, I gaze beyond reason to find the oasis of your brilliant soul. You ever remind me of the enigma of happy thoughts I once forgot.

    Hey Matt Henderson., I find your eyes to be a wondrous amusement park filled with neo-plastic pleasures and turkish delights. You turn the atmosphere ablaze with currents of sweet ethylene when you smile. Your beauty is multiplexed in contemplation of your multidimensional effervescence. Your sweet voice is like the application of aloe vera upon a sunburnt back. You are dressed with filaments and people take pains to make you fully incandescent this evening. Your intoxicating reflection can but incorporate freely into the powerful surface of a disintegrating mirror set afloat upon a swarm of locusts.
