Review:

Tonight was an excellent show! Matt's first performance at the Grail took place as a special event on his 22nd birthday! The staff and the crowd were very supportive of this show, and it turned out to be a great evening! With a large audience of friends and family Matt put on a loud, energetic and powerful show! Kicking it off with JULY, the band sounded in top form, with Ian Malinski on bass, and John Henville on drums. They debuted a new (silly) song that was written by the three of them: The googly eyed fartheads! Matt and Ian did a gorgeous rendition of WICKED LITTLE TOWN, a song from matt's favourite movie Hedwig and the angry inch! The audience members (including fellow musicians matt and brad - who seemed quite overly enthusiastic!) enjoyed singing along to other favourites such as SITTING, THE COUNTRY SONG, a wild performance of OH GIRL, and finishing with a climactic, loud, and beautiful WORTH HIS WHILE. For an encore, Matt was joined by his favourite singing partner ROSE RECORD for an emotional rendition of AS I GO ALONG. Matt and john closed the show together with the new, upbeat, and fun LET'S TRY THIS AGAIN WHEN WE'RE SOBER. A great birthday, and a great night at the grail!
