Saw Matt and the boys two nights ago outdoors at Parade Square. Canada Winter Games thing. Plaskett was 2 nights before that. Great Big Sea playing there to night and going to see them for sure.
Anyone know what he is referring to with " and the 8-2-7 punched out my lights, down at Rudy's last Saturday night"? I know what the rest of the songs means, but only because I'm from Cole Harbour ;-P
@gfraser80 Mostly G & C, throw in a Em at the beginning of the Chorus. Like most of May's songs (City of Lakes, Tall Trees, etc.) Enjoy! These are all great party songs!
Is this right: "I know this street like the back of my hand, from the donair temple to the uptown center"? I think I'm hearing the "uptown center" part wrong. Anyone know what he's actually saying?
Matt Mays is fuckin awesome. I listened to Terminal Romance for 6 months straight, it was the only CD in my car for that time. I love how he wants to bring back 'Straight up' rock n roll. And fuck this idiot for comparing him to 'classic bruce'. No artist wants to be told he sounds like something before him. I can't believe this guy isn't huge yet, he deserves to own rock n roll right now, cuz he's legit. Anyways Matt love your tunes buddy and can't wait til the next album!
how's brooklyn? thought he was living out east so he musta been hanging w/ the ToNnies getting all gothy/vampy feeling..cool "when angles make contact" album
I love it! I've liked MM for a few years now, and just happen to be spending the summer here. One of the things I wanted to do while I was here was see him live, and I just found out that he's playing in 3 nights, I'm so stoked to see him live, again!
You don't cruise no where homie G. You be all shacked up in soul harbour just waitin on the day you gets a ride out to ltown. haha I just posted a few posts up read it LOL
so wickedly great--give it a break with Jiam doing the comparision with Bruce--it is much better and so unique--love his style singing and not just his voice--he should be much more of a popular artist all over this great country!!!!!

Your a life changing song on a white cassette, a melody I'll never forget.
Getting me a triple triple and a BCD, the good times are beyond me.
Throw in the shifter one, two and three. Find me the queen of Portland Street.
Out of the fire, out of the rain. Me and G chasing hurricanes.
I know this road like the back of my hand, from the Donair Temple to the Uptown Center.
Me and G will meet ya down in the doons, ya with the moon and the toons, we'll be there soon.
Throw in the shifter on

umm... I really like Matt Mays, but his voice is a carbon copy of Bruce, so much so that he should probably pay copyright fees.
