Biografie
It's been hailed by fans and critics alike as a distinct face among a crowd of over processed, over styled commercialism. It's been described as the lost soundtrack to a David Lynch film and it's three members are from two different continents and three different countries. The origin of Matt Boroff's eclectic brand of minimal rock owes as much to chance encounters as it does to the sonic pioneers of the last fifty years, yet it hovers like an expanding dot on the horizon of what's to come.
A self taught singer/songwriter/guitarist from Northern New Jersey Matt Boroff spent the nineties playing clubs and touring with his former band Planet Dread. In 1997 Matt began playing solo gigsin NYC during which time he met his future Austrian wife Marion Keckeis. Matt and Marion moved to Austria in 2000 where Matt met drummer Little Konzett. Little's back beat drumming and boundless on and off stage energy formed a center of gravity in Matt's universe of colliding opposites.
Matt and Little began playing frequent European club tours where they were able to solidify a raw yet intimate sound that swung without warning from one end of the dynamic spectrum to the other. After a few line up changes they released their self titled debut album in 2004 on Little's label Lo-End records. Later that year the debut album was met by much critical acclaim that propelled the band to new heights and exposed them to a wider audience.
In January 2005 German bassist Rolf Kersting joined matt and little on tour and ended up becoming a full time member. With Rolf on bass the band's triangular chemistry took a leap forward and in the spring of 2005 they headed into the studio to record what was to become Matt Boroff's 2nd album "Ticket to Nowhere". The band is currently on tour in Europe in support of "Ticket to Nowhere".
