with the mattson2 meets ray barbee
Come pick up the newest issue of Mania Magazine and jam with The Mattson2 Meets Ray Barbee, and The Richard Tater Funkestra. Meet local artists, musicians, writers, learn how to get published and bust a move to the crazy tunes of two crazy cool bands.
Fashioned in tall mod suits and stylized blond locks, the internationally praised duo, Mattson 2, consists of twin brothers Jared Mattson on Guitar and loops and Jonathan Mattson on the Drums. Mattson 2 is signed to the groundbreaking and stylish Santa Cruz-based label, Galaxia Records, which has released side project records by John Herndon from legendary post rock band Tortoise, indie hero Will Oldham from Bonnie Prince Billy and beats aficionado/artist Tommy Guerrero among others. In March 2007, Mattson 2 released a record titled Ray Barbee Meets The Mattson 2 in Japan, a collaboration melding the stylistic music of the Mattson 2 with the smooth sounds of Ray Barbee, who first gained wide acclaim as one of the first famous African-American skaters in the 80’s and later as a musician.
Funkestra plays call-and-response numbers with vocals, but their specialty is losing themselves in freak-out jazz jams.
