Mystery Jets tour with PSG player

Thu Mar 22, 2012 12:27 am

Hello everyone, I hope you are all well.
I've been busy working with a new band called the Mystery Jets...they have a great new album called 'Radlands' which contains a couple of tracks with yours truly on the pedal steel. They are a great bunch of lads and have a great album under their belt so check it out.

As well as doing a US tour in the summer we have a UK tour starting next week. Below is a link to the dates. If anyone wants to come to any of the shows (except Brixton Academy which will have very limited guest list) let me know..

Hello Matt,

that sounds like an interesting tour. I'll try to get a long to the Cardiff gig on 11 April.

Hey Matt,

are you still playing in Cardiff tonight? If so, I'll try to get down to hear you.

Cheers,

Chris

I went to see Matt Park playing with the Mystery Jets last night in Cardiff. Great band and Matt really complemented the music on steel. He plays a load of instruments (guitar, keyboards and percussion) as well as steel, so there is plenty of variety in the sound. No hint of country, which made his playing all the more remarkable. I love all kinds of music, including country, but it was refreshing and heartening to hear the steel being played in a very different context. With up and coming players like this, the future of the instrument is assured. If you are open to different kinds of music -- in this case, the "indie" sound -- I recommend you try to see this band on tour now.

Matt very kindly put me on the guest list, but unfortunately I didn't get to meet him as I had to leave before the end. Hopefully, I'll be more organised next time. And by sheer coincidence, b0b posted an item about Matt and the Mystery Jets on the US SGF just as I was about to go out the door. How weird is that? :o
