and Andy (bass). As a three-piece, they have been playing together

--->where are they from?
What is a Mississauga band to do? The first thing is that there is
nowhere to arrive to without a car. Nothing is within walking
distance. Everything is so huge. It’s like the land in the clouds
where Jack arrived after climbing his beanstalk. Even the spaces
between the sidewalks and the roads are the more or less the size of
Bermuda. Sure, you have the convenience of strip malls and drive-thrus,
gargantuous shopping centres and even more gargantuous parking lots,
but in the end, the question repeats itself…. What is a
Mississauga band to do? Suburbia has its own place in the music
business sequence. It is where one can make the bulk of one’s
revenue after one has a video on teenie-t.v.
All the cities and towns west of the Credit River are fighting over
this Mississauga band-- don’t they know it? It’s like a dirty
bar brawl of municipalities. In this bar, the customers are arguing
over who knew them first, before they were famous, before they grew
beards. But the band just stays on stage, their heads bobbing back
and forth, not to watch the punches being swung but to punctuate
their delightfully musical rhythms. You see, the band is above this
bickering - they love us all equally and only want to feed our
hungry souls with the delicious buffet of their music. They’re
oblivious to our selfishness, they don’t even know how much we
adore them and want them for our own personal use. So you bought the
CD and you’re wearing the t-shirt, it just isn’t enough is it?
Take drummer Chris for example. His voice serenades you from your
little ghetto blaster at night, but what you really want is to see
him sweaty on stage behind his drum set rocking out. You want him to
beat those drums like he means it and you want to cry in your beer
one more time when he sings “Leave”. You don’t want him to get
up and go home, you want his face on television, in your music
review paper, you want more! More! More! You feel dirty and shy
because you know that you got in for free to see the band when you
really should have been paying a cover charge.
And bassist Andy-boy. You wish he were your physics tutor, your
chess partner, your secretary, anything to get to see him on more
than a weekly basis. You want to make sure that he eats three square
meals a day and gets 5-10 daily servings of fruits and vegetables so
that he can continue to delight you on Thursday nights at the
Flamingo. He once played a bass riff so intense that when he was
done; he spit out a rubicks cube that was only one twist away from
being solved. Andy please turn up the volume and give us more
cowbell please.
Last, but not least of all, guitarist Maverick Matt. He must’ve
been a lumberjack in a previous life because boy, can he ever swing
an axe. Seriously though, this guy is so good he could use his
guitar to get out of (or into) any situation. He’s able to smoke a
dart while holding the longest note, and sing harmonies while lying
on his back and playing his Gibson.
Matt + Andy-boy + Chris = Daylight for Deadeyes and they are
guaranteed to bring rock to your life. They are tight and all right,
playing music that Jesus would want to rock out to if he were still
around. Elvis would like them a lot too
