The Matinée

The Matinee is a six-piece roots rock-band formed in Vancouver, Canada in 2007. The music group was shaped by longtime close friends Matt Layzell on business lead vocals, guitarist and pedal metal participant Matt Rose, bassist/banjo participant Mike Youthful, his sibling Dave Youthful on keyboards and mandolin, drummer Pete Lemmon, and guitarist/vocalist Geoff Petrie. The group quickly started their profession with much concentrate on touring, playing grueling displays in early stages with hardly any support or publicity. They self-released an extremely low-key, full-length recording independently Blue Collar Information imprint in 2007, accompanied by a self-titled EP 2 yrs later on. In 2011, the group positioned third in the Maximum Performance Task, a contest kept by Vancouver radio train station 100.5 The Peak, earning a great deal of money to place toward the documenting of their first genuine debut album. The music group worked at an informal pace for the recording with makers Steve Berlin (an associate of Los Lobos whose creation credits included R.E.M. as well as the Tragically Hip), aswell mainly because Steve Bays, frontman for indie clothing Hot Hot Temperature. The resultant full-length, We Swore We’d Start to see the Sunrise, premiered on Light Body organ Information in early 2013 as well as the music group toured in its support.
