The Matches March 16, 2007

Straight outta Oakland, The Matches set the California music scene on fire recently thanks to twelve explosive, hook-injected songs recorded on the cheap in their basements and living rooms. Coupled with an unstoppable work ethic that included the band's very own "Commotion Promotion" tactics, buzz on the quartet's self-released debut "E. Von Dahl Killed the Locals" and the live shows that supported it spread like a virus to music enthusiasts up and down the Golden State and, as they toured small venues, relentlessly, across the country. The band has shared the stage with everyone from Reel Big Fish, Lit to Zebrahead and countless others. We are pleased to welcome this L3 show back to Slim's as the band celebrates the release of their newest album, "Decomposer," out on Epitaph Records!
