   About Matt Lane
Formed from the necessity to play something new, something fresh, something pure. The founding members of Matt Lane came together in the hopes of melding all their influences into what you hear on the song player: fast, fun songs, loud where it should be, aggressive where necessary, all in the name of creating something to dance to...

Born in October of 2006, consisting of Bass, Guitar, Drums, and three singers. Currently on show in venues throughout Dublin, with hopes to soon tour across Ireland and England (with the single "Surrender To Silence" in tow).

You know all those folks who send out “Friend requests”, or the folks you send “Friend Requests” to?

The ones you never hear again from, once you’re on the “List”?

Well, I am not one of those.

I know you’re busy, and I am too...sometimes busy with things than in the end don’t really matter.

But I wanted to take a moment to try and keep in touch, see what’s new, and maybe share something that will make your day a bit brighter.

Be Someone

Be someone who listens,
and you will be heard.
Be someone who cares,
and you will be loved.
Be someone who gives,
and you will be blessed.
Be someone who comforts,
and you will know peace.

Be someone who genuinely seeks to understand, and you will be wise.
Be someone kind, someone considerate, and you will be admired.
Be someone who values truth,
and you will be respected.
Be someone who takes action,
and you will move life forward.

Be someone who lifts others higher, and your life will be rich.
Be someone filled with gratitude,
and there will be no end to the things for which you'll be thankful.

Be someone who lives with joy,
with purpose,
as your own light brightly shines.
Be, in every moment, the special someone you are truly meant to be.

-- Ralph Marston

Hey Hey, Yeh I managed to get up to Belfast alright. Decided to just grab the bus straight after work with my brother and off we went. It was a cool night. The MGS lads were in top form and the other bands Lafaro and Mojofury were seriously amazing. Not sure how I managed to get to work on Friday but I struggled in none the less.

Yeh, can't believe its not lashing out today but I figure if I move out the front door that will change so I'm staying put. Keeping my energy for the Hard Working Class Heroes gigs next weekend. Can't wait. You going?

Ah, Bambi as in Bambino as opposed to the little deer with the mother who........well anyways, we've all seen the movie. I have recently lost my "young" tag and since turning 28 (I'm pure old) have been informed that I will be known as "aul wan" from here on in. This doesn't impress me very much but I figure I still look fairly young. Something right?
I work in a language school in town doing Administration and some accounts work. Pays the bills(just about) and all that jazz and the teachers working here are all loads of fun so thats gravy with me.
You def need a bubble machine. I need a fucken bubble machine myself for entertainment!!!! How your weekend go?
Bunny Larue





Aug 29 2008 4:28 PM

Hey Bambi (kinda weird but someone used to call me Bambi a few years back!) I've known the Strangels boys since last year. I was seeing one of them for a little while although thats no longer but I still keep up with the band. They're a great bunch of lads. I actually cooked for them before we headed off to the gig. That was an experience in itself. I can cook but I'm not exactly the best host in the world:p I'm usually pretty lazy about things but I actually set the table and all in advance. Not like me at all to do things like that. Nigella Lawson watch out.

Yup, I know the MGS lads too. Been to many a party and gig of theirs. They're great guys and amazing musicians!!!I think I'm missing the Fibbers gig cause I'm away but I may try get up to Belfast to see them play instead. Do you work in the airport too or whats your choice of profession? I apologise if I asked you that already but I was slightly tipsy the other night.

Hey guys, thanks for playing last night. Ye were pretty damn fantastic is all I can say. Keep in touch and I'll sort you with some gigs up North:) Gigs with an actual crowd:p Sorry about the lack of that yesterday, the whole thing was a bit rushed as you may have guessed.
