OMG! We were so busy partying and celebrating that we forgot to post this online! It's better late than never... MATT AND KIM WON A VMA!THIS IS SERIOUSLY FUCKING AMAZING! Who could have guessed that when we put out our first record that three years later MATT AND KIM would be on top of the world taking home 'BREAKTHROUGH VIDEO' at the MTV VMAS!!??!? It happened! The video for 'LESSONS LEARN...
DJ Troublemaker has done a shit load of tracks this year. 2009 isn't even over yet. From remixing heavy hitter Mastodon to tackling the indie crazy of the summer of Phoenix's 1901. The man can make a mean mix. This time it's for one of my favorites - Matt & Kim's "Daylight." Spice it up with a nice touch of De La Soul aaannd, done. MP3 :: Matt & Kim - Daylight (DJ Troublemaker Remix ft. De La ...
Matt & Kim performed in front of an energetic crowd on Friday at Street Scene. Their banter between songs was so inclusive, it felt like you were watching a friends’ band in your backyard. I have to admit, I was lukewarm about their recorded music, but they definitely changed my mind with their live performance. Kim’s [...]
With a name like Matt & Kim, this duo had me suspicious of how original they could be. I mean I could start a band named Jen&Harry and call it a band (note: my name is not Jen nor Harry). But despite the lack of originality in their name (though brownie points for simplicity) the two have really built a lot of cred to their name. I've been really into Matt & Kim's latest album "Grand" particula...
It’s almost difficult to move for bouncy indie-pop collectives from New York these days, especially ones supposedly driven to prominence by Web 2.0. Given how it’s almost three years since their debut release, Matt & Kim seemed in danger of being swamped by this flood of sugary cheer. Thankfully, ‘Grand’ may have arrived just in [...]
There's nothing better than a leisurely stroll around Times Square on a cold blustery morning. Ask Matt and Kim, they know, because in this video they go all Blink 182 on us in perhaps one of the best videos we've seen all year.
I got back from San Francisco last week, what an amazing slice of the U.S. of A!Green happy stuff seems to fall out of the sky, everyone is surprisingly attractive, and daily life can be easily described as gay. Gay. Gay. Gay. I loved every minute of it. Shout out to Brittanybf, thanks girl for your hospitality! You rule. <3Unfortunately I missed out on the Cut Copy tour with Matt & Kim and DJ:...
matt and kim pumps me up. a dude and a chick playing drums and keys? sounds like this? puts me in a good mood when im down. what else are you gonna ask of music? seriously.
Grand is the sophomore release from New York art popsters Matt & Kim. The album is a collection of electronically-slanted garage rock tunes with a tremendous underlying pop sensibility. The bouncy back-and-forth piano rock of the opener "Daylight" demonstrates the group's ability to put just enough polish on a song. Just enough rough edge has been thoughtfully sanded off to balance the rawness
The day before yesterday the rain came. Yesterday it continued…then became colder. Today it's still here and it's even colder. Grey days. Early nights. Perfect time to take in a visual treat with this time lapse animation of the extraordinary Blu putting up an art piece in Berlin. Enjoy then enjoy these:mp3: Telemitry Vs. Journey - Any Way You Want It (Telemitry Remix)mp3: Telepathe - De.
I haven't paid attention to Matt and Kim since that Flosstradamus remix but this new one is cute (as the happy cult these two are obviously in). From their forthcoming album Grand. Matt and Kim - Daylight
Matt and Kim are a smiley couple who live together and play music as Matt & Kim. You knew that, and in the video for "Daylights" you get to see it all play out, the smiles and the living together and the playing of the music. The secret to their permagrins is more than just peppy, joy-punky piano jams, though -- it's making those peppy, joy-punky piano jams wherever they go. I'll admit, sometim...
Well, we aren't really that tight, but I did get to hang around them just a smidge at Bumbershoot.I was shooting for icecreamman.com and Matt & Kim stuck by the group for a while. I got to see Matt dunk a Roller Derby girl,pose for pictures with REALLY excited fans,and enjoy (not so much, really) a tamarind, lime and chili frozen "treat"But I had to admit to Matt that while I'd heard of them, ...
If you've had it up to your eyebrows with Brooklyn Hipster music (or just hipsters in general) then just keep on moving because this post won't get any better, for you.Matt & Kim make fun, somewhat sloppy, energetic and infectious music. It's not "Rock", it's not "Techno" and "Indie" doesn't seem to do their style justice either. Whatever it is I'd like to catch it because it looks like a lot o...
