MATT PRYOR

You may not know who Matt Pryor is, but odds are, if you were into indie, punk, or emo during any of the 1990's, you have heard his music. Way back in 1995, when Dashboard Confessional was just a thought in Chris Carabba's angst-filled mind, when Panic at the Disco were still in middle school, and when Conor Oberst was still playing in Commander Venus, Matt Pryor founded a little band called the Get Up Kids, who are still heralded by many today, along with groups like Sunny Day Real Estate, as one of the original founders of the current wave of indie and emo music. For most musicians, that would have been enough, but Pryor started The New Amsterdams, and toured and recorded with them while continuining to release albums up until the break-up of TGUK in 2005. When Matt entered family life, he started another side project, The Terrible Twos, bringing his experiences as a father into the music world to create children's songs for his kids. And now, in 2008, Matt Pryor is releasing "Confidence Man," his first solo album and a DIY effort in every sense of the word: Pryor wrote, played, recorded and mixed every track on the album, by himself, at his home studio in Kansas. "Confidence Man" will constitute the 15th album that Pryor has released in 13 years. Do yourself a favor and come see him at Stubb's this Saturday, whether its his 4 o'clock show as the Terrible Twos, or his later set with Kevin Devine and Danny Malone. Yes, thats right, he's playing two shows in one night. LEGEND!
