The Matinée has emerged as one of the west coast’s premier independent
bands. Blending a passion for fine ale and finely crafted tunes, The
Matinée offer a unique spin on a roots-rock sound that is quickly
attracting both national and international audiences. Writing songs that
paint pictures of empty bottles and broken hearts, & broken bottles and
empty hearts, their collection of songs has now come to life.
Following their first release in July 2007, The Matinée embarked on two
highly successful cross-Canada tours. With songs ‘Mama’ and ‘San Diego’
charting nationwide on Canadian College Radio, the band’s live show has
struck a chord with audiences across the country. Combined with their
recent addition to the B.C. Schizophrenia Reachout Program, The Matinée
has performed for more than 25,000 high school/college students this year
alone.
With four more Canadian tours under their belt and a follow up album
scheduled for this coming Fall, 2009 looks to be a highly anticipated
sequel for The Matinée. As they continue with their hard-nosed, do it
yourself, blue collar work ethic, there is little doubt that this show is
worth the price of admission. Hold on to your seats… it’s showtime for The
Matinée!
