Matt Mays & El Torpedo June 13, 2008

w/ Deadstring Brothers. $10.

Matt Mays & El Torpedo is Matt Mays (guitar, vocals), Jay Smith (guitar, vocals), Andy Patil (bass, vocals), and Tim Jim Baker (drums). Since forming in 2003 to perform shows in support of Matt's self-titled debut album the band has toured Canada countless times as well as performing numerous dates in the US and the UK.

From the first listen, it's obvious that they have that indefinable element that carries a group's music beyond the sum of its parts. "It's one of those things that you couldn't really construct with anyone," claims Mays' of the band's chemistry. "It's a really natural solidification in music of four friends who like, listen to and laugh at all the same things."

"...one of Canada's most exciting live rock acts."
- MacLean's

"One dazzling set and you're a convert - that's how it works."
- NOW Magazine, Toronto
