We're working on setting up an interview with Mathien. Although we haven't heard them live we have it on good authority they're ones to watch.
The nucleus of the band was formed at Southern Illinois University
Carbondale around the magnetic personality of
singer/songwriter/guitarist Chris Mathien. Bassist Mike Schiff and
drummer Aaron Bouslog were initially drawn to Mathien’s sharply observed
lyrics and eclectic musical influences. After signing with Midwest
Music Group, relocating to Chicago and releasing their debut “Hello
Again” the band took to the road and became a formidable live act
selling out venues in Chicago and throughout the Midwest.
In the fall of
2010 with the addition of keyboardist Peter Wilkins the band returned
to the studio to begin work on their latest release “The Night I was an
Alpha Male”. The album is available in CD format through the band’s official website here.
