Bio:
Matt Pless makes music, he writes lyrics, he draws pictures and he
sings and dances and builds space crafts out of milk cartons. Matt
started his first band at 17, they played punk rock, and like most
other suburban teens, they knew a limited amount of power chords but
had a lot of heart and knew how to rock and roll! This band was called
3 Prong Outlet. Matt wrote the music and lyrics that made up their 4 CD
releases now highly collectible of course) and provided the lead vocals
in this 3 piece punk rock power pop amphetamine pill. After several
years of extensive touring, the band called in quits and Matt went out
on his own and began cranking out more music than ever before. Along
the way, people started to notice that he could really write some great
songs, praised for his lyrical prowess by various members of the
hipster music snob academy, Matt quickly built a reputation on the
underground ..wherever that is... music scene. To date he has released
3 studio albums of original music and several live and acoustic only
collections. A firm believer that a song can sound a thousand different
ways, as well as an indecisive obsessive compulsive nut bag, Matt has
been known to re-record and release several versions of the same song
over a period of time. He has toured all over the country several times
playing his infectious brand of folk punk acoustic rag pop, from the
streets of New York city to the boardwalks of Venice beach California,
he has gained a reputation as an excellent live performer. Aside from
his solo work, he also writes music for a project called "Kotterpin"
which consists of himself and, with the exception of his brother on
drums, a rotating cast of band members and lunatics.Come see him when
he stops in your town to perform….Oh yes…he also plays guitar and
harmonica.
