"The show opened with Matt Kurz One, a dynamic and surprisingly talented one-man-band from Athens. Kurz managed to play the guitar while drumming and playing keyboard with sticks tied to the guitar's head stock. Seriously. He also played bass with his shoeless left foot.
Unlike most opening acts, Kurz did not have to suggest that the audience come in closer, because pretty much everyone in the venue was front and center to watch his unique stage presence. Rarely does the opening act on a four-band bill garner so much attention, but it is safe to say that almost everyone who came out early was impressed by Kurz's creativity and talent.
The gimmick of a one-man-band would have worn off after the first couple of songs if Kurz was not talented as a songwriter and able to blend rudimentary bass, guitar, and drum into a well-crafted garage rock song.
At times, Kurz's facial expressions and zany lyrical content made him seem like a garage rock version of Tenacious D. Other moments in Kurz's set, like his surprising cover of "Purple Rain," made him sound like a true rock-and-roll virtuoso.

amazing show at Athfest, sir - you've got something special and unique going on and I dig it - seek out the music of Jesse Fuller (pictured below) - you'll pick up a lil' something from it I'm sure! there are some videos of him on Youtube, embedding was disabled so I couldn't post them here - do check them out if you get a chance......Cheers mate!
...I'd like to apologize on behalf of Colorado for our crappy unoriginal scream bands. Kinda makes you wonder if they bothered to Google before choosing their album name.
Hey there, thank you so much for adding us! If you get the chance, or the urge, listen to our music and let us know what you think! Thanks again and best wishes.
good times with tacos hope the drive wasn't too bad/ good catching up... let's make it less than ten years before next time. let's book some shows in a few months -b+r
Matt, can't wait to see you in greensboro! Also I was wondering if I could use the song 2000-mine for a short film I am making. If we win I'll be able to donate a bit of money to you. hurray!
