Review:

    Surprise! The first show back at Feelin' Good in over a month! After the last performance Matt & Brad took a month off to get some things sorted out. Tonight's comeback was great, but also quite strange. First of all, there were many problems with the lights and with the sound which made things difficult to manage. Also, Brad was unable to sing, so he sang very few of his songs (and when he did Matt sang them anyways!) So Jenn Boyd bravely stepped up to the plate and took over many vocal parts flawlessly! This made for a very unique and special Feelin' Good!
    Kickin' it off with RESTITUTION with Matt & Jenn on vocals this crowd favourite was taken to new levels! Audience comments: "amazing!" "it sucked shit!" as you can see, mixed reviews! Matt's piano broke for 2NITE so it was an entirely guitar/vocal performance which was also very unique and interesting.
    They debuted two new songs tonight which were both very well received... the catchy, poppy ARTHUR LAINGE BRIDGE (CUT & BLEED) which is a song written by Matt & Brad together, and Matt's new one the freaky dark mess which is THE SLOW & PAINFUL DEATH OF MATTHEW PRESIDENTE. The audience went wild! ORIGIN OF LOVE ended the first set which was a very intense and fabulous performance.
    Set two was great featuring incredible performances of JESUS GONE INSANE, RED LIGHT, ROCKETMAN, DON'T MAKE A SOUND, and Jenn Boyd's WALKIN' WOUNDED (accompanied by Matt & Brad)
    The well deserved encore was a real treat for the audience. Matt & Brad rocked the house with SHE'S A SCORPION, and then finished it off with a classy, beautiful performance of GRACIOUS.
