I also play bass for QUO.
Come see us, we're probably the best local bands you'll ever see.
Playing drums and music are pretty much the most important things in my life to me....I love it.
From the Fort Worth Weekly "Best of 2008 Awards" issue: Critics' Choice Local Rock Star - Matt Mabe
"As drummer in three local outfits, Matt Mabe sets up and breaks down his kit probably more often than any other skin-beater in town. Once comfortably on his stool, Mabe brings an immeasurable amount of energy and skill to every song. Quiet and polite, he's not your typical rock star but injects nothing but pure positivity into the scene. In addition to his endless slew of dates as a stickman for Stella Rose, Jefferson Colby and The White Walls, Mabe also plays bass for his brother Chris' band Quo."

Whaaaat? I had NO idea about KOL in October... are the tickets already on sale? Oh- and I'll need a "front of the line, lets wait out here for six hours" buddy!!
I've been here and there and around. Mostly Dallas. Weird huh? I just havent been around YOU. Which WILL change before you head off to where ever you're going next month.
One: because I miss the Mabe.
Two: i need tunes for the ipod before I can take my road trips in May.
But I still havent figured out how to make it work in my car? Well- I shall text/call/message you next week and see when you'll be out and about. TRY and plan on going out on a wednesday. Those are best for me.
