Pet the Dog: News

Hey Guys! PTD just wanted to let everyone know we have a slew of new shows posted along with a new record that's almost completed. Come to a show or drop us a line to let us know you're still out there! Most of all keep thinking big kids!

Last night at the Viper Room was off the hook!! Thanks to everyone who came out to support and to all the new friends who stuck around for the set. It really makes the vibe a lot more tasty with a bunch of head nods going on!! See you at the next one!! peaceout-Matt

What a kick ass vibe down in Manhattan Beach....I'll be sure to get in to play there every month to participate in what's going on down there. We had a great jam last night..thanks to Kevin Rock for having me up for a few tunes....It was great meeting Chris Hanna and hearing his chops as well as seeing Wade Egan Perform...all the best and looking forward to Jamming soon-Matt

Tickets are already filling up for Montreal's date!! NYC already buzzing for TIme Square's "Arena" date!!! Can't wait to see my east coast posse!!

Dates are being finalized for an East Coast tour. I should be out for the better half of august focusing on Penn, Philly, N.Y.C and Montreal!! Check back later for dates and for all of my friends out there....see you soon!!-Matt

So happy with the outcome of the new E.P....I want to thank Dan Marfisi for producing this with me and for playing all the percussion and most of the bass. Laurie McLaughlin for taking the pictures of myself and Brodie (yes he too made it on the cover), Michelle for the artwork and everyone who has had kind words. I'm still in the studio working on brand new songs and just chugging away untill the album is complete!!! Thanks!!-Matt

I just laid down the last few tracks for the final song of my E.P. This week I'll be in the studio doing some small mixing edits and then the order will be in!! I should have plenty of E.P's for you all to hear in 3-4 weeks!! I can't wait for you all to have what I've been working on in your hands!-Matt

If you like the style of all the live shots you see on my pictures link...you can comtact Laurie McLaughlin at ldmclaughlin@mac.com for rates and availability!!

What up!! I'm doing a shotgun gig with Melo KAN at the Rhythm lounge Long Beach Thursday night. It's a Hip Hop show and I'm going up to play two songs...If you're missing what good hip hop really is all about check him out. He sounds a lot like what I loved about my favorite Hip Hop artists I grew up listening to.
