A few weeks ago, Matt and Kim kicked off their own Fall tour and the release of their 4th album LIGHTNING (FADER Label) with a performance of “Let’s Go”, the album’s first single, on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon. The song has been a hit at radio and is currently spinning at KROQ-LA, KNDD-Seattle, WEQX-Albany, KEXP-Seattle, Live 105-San Francisco, Sirius 20 on 20, Sirius Alt Nation/XMU, WRFF-Philadelphia, WROX-Norfolk, KKDO-Sacramento, KRBZ-Kansas City, KCMP-Minneapolis, WWCD-Columbus, and KRXP-Colorado Springs.
The Brooklyn duo have performed night after night of sold-out shows and incited riots in the hearts of their fans and critics alike, bringing the mayhem to every stop on the LIGHTNING TOUR. The Twitter world is a nightly explosion of excited tweets and rave reviews. It really is rare that you would find more people having fun at a live show than Matt, Kim, and their crowds. The reviews echo just that:
“a captivating chemistry under incessant explosions of confetti” – Tampa Bay Times
“If you are on the fence as to whether or not you are going to go, trust me when I tell you ‘GO SEE THEM LIVE'” – ConcertAddicts.ca
“Exuberance! Jumping! Dancing! Matt and Kim’s live shows have plenty of bounce for the ounce” – Portland Mercury
“In an age of indie rock brooders, too jaded and aloof to engage in anything so pedestrian as excitement and showmanship, this show was a welcome respite…one big communal party with Matt and Kim and a jam-packed room of people smiling like they’d won the lottery.” – weepingelvis.com
“The transference of positive energy between band and audience is a fantastic communal experience…They welcome anybody and everybody to the party, and you’ll be hard-pressed to find anybody in music who transparently loves what they do and the music they make as deeply as Matt & Kim do.” – TheSilverTongue.com
