“Meta Dada” – Venue Change & Album Update!

/ matthewtday / Leave a comment

Civilizational pinnacles must pack a certain je ne sais quoi! My new album, “Meta Dada” will debut with exceptional panache at two soirees — this week only — featuring multimedia performance art.

Mega note: After chatting with the venue owners we’ve switched Saturday’s Appleton show to Gibson Music Hall.

Nothing but mutual love with The Draw, but Gibson was ultimately a better fit for this show, particularly with its stage, as this is in fact, a Stage Show! The likes of which none of us have performed before, and I can’t stress enough that these are the only two times we’ll be doing these performances.

Please join us!

Meanwhile, I’m going to be doing all I can to make sure these records get here. Incredible how it’s come down to the wire. I may have to drive to Cleveland to get them, but by gum, I’ll get ’em!

Hope to see you soon!

Interview: Fox Cities Core on WCZR – Code Zero Radio

/ matthewtday / 1 Comment

The “Meta Dada” media drive has cut to the core! Fox Cities Core, that is, on WCZR: Code Zero Radio. Host Andy MacNamara is a grade-A gent; I’ve been a fan of this show for years and it was totally special to get to chat with him.

A snowstorm the previous day/night would make for a tough commute, as my car got stuck on my un-plowed-street and the highways were still freaky. I didn’t quite make it in time, and had hardly unclenched my hands from the white-knuckle drive, but eventually I had the sense to settle in and enjoy the talk, covering quite a bit of my musical upbringing and leading up to upcoming solo album release shows.

Tune on in, and follow Core for some great local music interviews.

Andy also made a great clip of my list segment:

Just 10 days until the release shows! …The records for which *should* arrive in time.

Edge of my seat,

Whoa! Matty Day “Solo” Album/Release Shows

All together now: WELP – I – DID – A – THING.

Or:

Local Man Makes Good On Musical Threat!

The last weekend of this month I’ll mercifully release the most crackin’est cacophony your phonograph needle’s ever nuzzled.

Two nights only, and that’ll be it for these unique performances!

Two extra special chances to hear these twelve songs for the first ever times, while sharing the experience with adventurous fellow music lovers. Hope you’ll join me in uncharted waters!

Enjoy the promo video, produced by my Live from Stadium Drive brother Tommy Burns:

If you missed it, or if the previous video’s high-minded terms weren’t satisfactory, I spoke about the album a bit on Rooted Wisconsin (time-stamped here):

Finally, I wrote a bit about its genesis in my 2022 year-end round-up blog.

More details coming. Well… perhaps. Might keep things fairly under wraps, if only out of necessity as said things are likely going to come together the night before the shows. Yeah baby!

Thank you!
