about

Much has been said about THE MATTOID, and there's much more to consider about the wandering Finn. His glory has gained strength in the three years since the party people started shouting "PARTY TIME" for "Party Time." It started with the barflies, we thunk. However, at the Toid's debut concert at Nashville's, The Sutler, we noticed, with much joy, that it's easier to shuck a sea cucumber than to stereotype the "Average Mattoid Fan." The boppers were there, but also the "long hairs" and the "geeks," the "nursing home set," the blue jean babies, the important people and the folks who make them important. One looker on, who might have just walked out of 'Indie Fancy' said, "You would figure that most of these folks would be home watching 'Who Wants to Marry My Dog?' Another glorious thing caught our attention. The Mattoid was really cool. His hot style and intuition raised the eyebrows of "the biz." Word on the street is the Mattoid could gain fame in Youtube clips. The bloggers, web zines, and e-publicists harpooned Mattoid and the emails started ringing. Existence, Mattoid, and pals are singing like a barber shop! There is a magnificent waft engulfing The Mattoid this very moment. The joy that he gets when people love what he does is his to savor. Your party is our party. And so, speaking for The Mattoid, we unpretentiously welcome you to witness THE GLORY HOLY!
