Larryville
"Silent Lions somehow manage to be Toledo Ohio’s premier super group with only two members. Dean Tartaglia plays effected
bass utilizing octave
pedals, freak fuzz sounds, atmospheric synths and an arsenal of vocal
distortions while drummer Matt Klein grooves and thrashes beside him
often providing soulful singalong harmonies. Silent Lions live shows
sound as thick and creamy as they do on record."
Check out the band at BandCamp, Facebook, and Tumblr. The Toledo duo cross the border to Pittsburgh tomorrow night for a house show with The Breathing Light, PANTS, Cerebral Apophysis and Shiff. The debuted their brand new video yesterday which you can check out below.
My thanks to Matt Klein (Drums) for taking the time to participate in this edition of First/Last.

Favorite concert ever?
I'm a big U2 fan, so it was amazing to finally hear the 'New Year's Day' bassline in person. Vertigo Tour in Chicago.

I will not do lawn seats...what's the point? I need to feel it.

Any thoughts, experiences about Pittsburgh?
I once got lost in downtown Pittsburgh because a parade or fest was happening. Missed my friends' wedding! So just hoping to making it to our gig on time.

Thanks, Matt. Watch out for that parade (or festival) traffic on Saturday. It's Pittsburgh, there always seems to be one happening here.
