The Matches at Bowery Ballroom

Decomposer: 20th Anniversary

The Matches play at New York City's historic Bowery Ballroom on Saturday, September 26th, 2016. The Bay Area, 4-piece pop-punk outfit will play an intimate show filled with the band's signature mix of punk and new wave, in addition to their typical pop-punk flair. The band's energy, as well as their catchy, pop-infused sound, is guaranteed to draw a large crowd of enthusiastic fans to the show. With the venue being as small as the Bowery Ballroom, you'll be able to hear every harmony and I mean every vocal harmony and guitar strum. It will undoubtedly be a night to remember with the band playing until the last encore as fans sing along to every single song. The lower price for these Matches songs is $103 with prices increasing from there.

The Matches: Oakland Punk Legends

This fall The Matches will tour to support their new release The Matches Album 4, Unreleased; Bits & Pieces - a collection of previously unreleased Matches songs, and bits & pieces from their abandoned 4th studio album. Fans of The Matches should recognize "Salty Eyes" and "Papercut Skin" (one of the band's most popular songs) that are featured on this release. The album Decomposer (2006) the band released during their time together received a very positive reaction from their fans, as well as from critics. Decomposer was even co-produced by none other than Mark Hoppus of Blink-182, and John Feldmann of Goldfinger.

The Matches are a Bay Area pop-punk band described by magazines such as Alternative Press and Spin as one of the most intense things going in the scene right now. The band released their first album, E. Von Dahl Killed the Locals, in 2000 to much critical acclaim. The band went on to release a second album, Decomposer, in 2006 that included a mix of pop-punk songs and more new wave inspired tracks, and earned the band recognition from fans and critics alike. The Matches officially disbanded in 2009 but have since performed one off shows here and there. So if you get the chance to see them before they go on hiatus again, you should definitely take it. The Matches will play songs from their first release E. Von Dahl Killed the Locals as well as their second release Decomposer. The band created songs with substance and great pop hooks. Lead singer Shawn Harris has a very distinctive voice and the bands lyrics are very intelligent and also very memorable.
