It's just Matt. Seriously, he's the brains of the entire outfit, which explains why there's no one else in the outfit. However if there is a show that requiers more than just Matt by his lonesome he is usually joined by Phil Bova on the drums, Sarah Hallman on the bass and Wayne Eagles on Guitar...but mostly they join him out of pity.
Matt Ouimet is a multi-instrumentalist and a staple sideman in the Ottawa music scene. Beyond the instruments 28 year old Ouimet is also a talented songwriter, arranger, engineer, and producer. Matt has played to festival crowds of over 15 000 (or to as few as 10), his vocal and instrumental talents have been featured in movie soundtracks and his is familiar face to local concert goers and studio owners alike for over 10 years. His melodic and driving (yet sensitive) musical personality lets Matt easily transcend styles making his playing in pop/rock as effortless and inspiring as in his jazz stylings.
He is also well known in the international drumming community having been mentioned in Drum Business magazine and Drums Etc. magazine in reference to his craftsmanship (of custom snare drums) and to a lesser extent his technique and playing.
Matt also has his solo effort in constant works, his debut album "silently" was released in 2009 and quickly became a top 10 on many local lists. He's a CDBABY "editor's pick" and has been featured on many iTunes pod-casts, national radio shows in Canada and a couple in England. With a schedule like Matt's it's tough to squeeze in solo live shows, but they do happen, honestly... seriously they do sometimes happen.
Matt co-runs "The Resonator" a small downtown Ottawa studio with David Dudley (ex-Furnaceface). you can reach him by writing to matt@davesdrumshop.com

Now that I'm unemployed, I've found some spare time, so I'm nowfilling it by writing on your wall... As you can tell, boredom kicks in awefully quick whilst searching for jobs lol.
Therefore, I'm wondering how you're doing - being way too lazy to call and ask in person. Blah!
