Photo Courtesty of Christi CouchA couple of years ago, Matt Kurz left the cold Northeast for the artist friendly Athens, GA. Since then, he's been slowly gaining a reputation as one of the most exciting live acts in town. After watching him steamroll an audience last Thursday at the Star Bar, I have a feeling he's going to have a lot more shows in this town soon...mark my words.
Here are 10 reasons why I love The Matt Kurz One...
1. He Plays Guitar, Bass, Keyboards, Drums, and Sings all at the same time...and he does it better than anyone in your shitty 5 piece band.
2. Girls love him, and if you hang around him after a show you're immediately cooler by association.
3. If you're a fan of all the wonderful garage/punk/pop coming out of the south these days, you'll enjoy this.
4. Call it a gimmick if you want, but he's taking home all the cash at the end of the night...
5. He's an excellent slow dancer, and a thoughtful lover.
6. He doesn't drink, so if you blow him you'll get an extra drink ticket...yayyyy!
7. Does an unbelievable cover of Purple Rain...just yell for it.
8. Now lives in Athens instead of the cold, harsh northeast...so its easier to see him these days.
9. Nipples that will cut glass
10. The best Neil Diamond singing Metal impression I've ever heard!
Matt has a couple of shows this month in Athens...check his
