Come see us, we're probably the best local bands you'll ever see.
Playing drums and music are pretty much the most important things in my life to me....I love it.
From the Fort Worth Weekly "Best of 2008 Awards" issue:
"As drummer in three local outfits, Matt Mabe sets up and breaks down his kit probably more often than any other skin-beater in town. Once comfortably on his stool, Mabe brings an immeasurable amount of energy and skill to every song. Quiet and polite, he's not your typical rock star but injects nothing but pure positivity into the scene. In addition to his endless slew of dates as a stickman for Stella Rose, Jefferson Colby and The White Walls, Mabe also plays bass for his brother Chris' band Quo."
Who I'd like to meet: Dave Grohl, Jenna Fischer, Cameron Crowe, Scott Weiland, Jonny Greenwood, Oscar the Grouch

Check out this website, all you have to do is type your name in the box and it will convert it into their spelling. Kind of nerdy but funny. Here's the link or just copy and paste it to a new window:
