Ron Gallo is well known with music fans as a #favorite from #Philly. With his appearance at #roughtrade not to be missed, The Music Matters ended up running into an unexpected treat as warm up for the main attraction. Opening act #nakedgiants are an exuberant #rocktothemax trio consisting of Gianni Aiello (bass, vocals), Grant Mullen (guitar.vocals) and Henry LaVallee (drums). Hailing from Seattle, WA they reminded this blogger of everything from Devo to The B-52’s, to The Kinks, to The White Stripes and even The Black Lips. Their non-stop frenzied set was truly explosive which left us wanting more. Professional industry promoter/live music curator Pamnation was in attendance as well and appeared equally impressed. Keep your eye on these Miscreant Records recording artists. Follow them #ontour and on #socialmedia. Kudos to #RonGallo not only for capping off the evening with a devastating set of his own but, for discovery and support of this #risingtothetop combo

Concert Triple Header 11-17-2017
Will Evans Music at Rockwood Music Hall 7PM
The Alpaca Gnomes at Arlene’s Grocery 9PM
The Boobies at Rockwood Music Hall 10PM
The #LowerEastSide of Manhattan is certainly a hotbed breeding ground for musical talent. With The Music Matters thirsting for #livemusic after a slowed schedule, last evening most definitely quenched that for us with a triple potpourri of musical excellence
First last evening was #WillEvans at Rockwood Music Hall. This blogger first noticed him at the CONNartists clubhouse show a few months ago. Formally frontman of Barefoot Truth, to call Will a #singersongwriter is a bit of an understatement. A #mastercraftsman of tune might be a better fit. Joined last night with percussionist extraordinaire Doug Fitch (http://www.dougfitchpercussion.com/), Will built his special wall of sound using guitar, vocal, as well as dirigadoo loops that encompassed a wide variety of harmony and rhythm for him to bring melody to. While his roots are firm in Westerly, RI he does find himself on tour quite often as evidenced with his recent shows supporting Carbon Leaf. Make sure to experience his unique #tunesmith skills when he’s in your town and most definitely follow him on social media
Next, #themusicmatters wandered around the corner to revisit #TheAlpacaGnomes at #ArlenesGrocery. First seen by this blogger at the 2017 Pleasantville Music Festival on the #PamnationPartyStage the Gnomes and their #Gnomies never disappoint in bringing the party to a higher level. We got the feeling that the band and their loyal followers would have enjoyed a longer set. We certainly would have as we have enjoyed them three times since their July festival appearance. If I were you, I’d set my sites on their schedule for future events as they will warm your insides even on a cool Fall evening such as yesterday.
Last stop for the night found us returning to the #sceneofthecrime where we started at #RockwoodMusicHall. Earlier this year music curator/promoter Pamnation had advised #themusicmatters that #TheBoobies were a must see when in town. We jumped at the chance yesterday. The group, local to NY consists of Josh Brocki (guitars,vocals) Manquillan Minniefee (lead guitar) Jesse Starr (bass) and Ace Jernigan (drums). Self described as “Garage Rock with teeth” the band is all that and much more. Exuberant fans making #bubbles throughout their set is obviously a trademark of their followers. We feel the old school garage rhythms mixed with modern vocal/guitar #wallofsound methods make this combo foursome unique.
Please #share #comment and most of all #follow these fine groups #ontour , #inyourtown and on #socialmedia. Most of all #support #live #indiemusicwhenever you can

SOLD OUT – Rainbow Kitten Surprise – Rough Trade NYC 12-5-2017
Rainbow Kitten Surprise is a #bandontherise . The Music Matters has called your attention to this band many times. In an #ifyousnoozeyoulose minute every ticket in what will most likely be their last live show of 2017 was sold. Pamnation called this blogger’s attention (as well as the legions of #pamnation followers) to the event so, our fingers were ready at the stroke of noon to grab a pair of these sought after spots to witness what may be (in our opinion) one of the last times they perform in this size venue. After selling out the last 14 shows of 2016, as well as many this year the only way to catch the band live was to join the many tens of thousands who enjoyed them on the main stage of most of the major festivals this year (LouFest Music Festival, Firefly Music Festival, Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival, Austin City Limits Music Festival (ACL) among others). #Catchthemifyoucanas while these Rainbow Kittens may Surprise, they’re certainly no secret to their growing legion of fans

The Georgia Flood
Arlene’s Grocery
Oct 24th 2017
Last night The Music Matters had one of the great nights in this blogger’s history. Music curator/promoter Pamnation advised us on these up and coming rockers from #Atlanta earlier this year. #Thegeorgiaflood are Brooks Mason (lead guitar/vocals), Lane Kelly (bass/vocals), Damian Navarro (drums) and Gavin Deleshaw-(lead guitar). What these young men do is take various genres such as Blues/Rock etc and create their own unique driving harmonious groove. This can be evidenced in songs such as Take A Hit (their latest), The Race, and our current favorite Whistle King. A full house heard these and more at #arlenesgrocery in #NYC. This band of up and coming showmen showed us lots of maturity in the timing and execution of their songs as well as their stage presence. #industryprofessionals#takenotice as inside information tells me their soon to be released recordings are very strong and the band is weighing options. We will be keeping a close eye on these #risingstars and wish them much #futuresuccess
