the dotmatrix project

Hats off to Andy, Matt and Dara for a job well done, especially Matt and Dara on the edit.

You can follow the building of our music video library by subscribing to our channels at either Vimeo or YouTube.

If you’re a fan of the blues, live jam sessions and heavy guitar licks, do we have the band for you. As always, the DMP album is initially free on Amie Street, so hurry up and “buy” it before the price starts to move.

Also, if you’re a Last.fm head, you can listen to the entire album there for free.

Enjoy!

Sorry to say, there’s no prize for Chris, but he does own the distinction of becoming the very first dotmatrix project musician and audience participator by shooting and uploading this short diddy of Carolina Clearwater performing at the May 22nd show.

It’s not too surprising, though; Chris paints, makes films and blogs when he’s not kicking it with his brothers in Old Stone Revue. He’s an all-around creative kinda guy.

So when you come out to a show, be sure to bring your camera. If we get enough audience participation, we’ll try to work your media into our music videos. Just be sure to tag your files with “the dotmatrix project” so we can find it wherever you drop it online.

dotmatrix project II was a smashing success. A big shout of thanks to the following people:

• The bands Carolina Clearwater & Old Stone Revue — Great music, great times. Thanks again to both bands for playing. We’ll be in touch about the music video and album.
• The film crew (Andy Coon, Dara Montaque & Matt Williams) — Dara “I’m Getting The Damn Shot” Montaque was all over Sam’s guitar solo! Though, I was surprised she didn’t try to pick up a drum stick and start playing. Thanks for making it happen, people.
• The photo crew (Stephen Charles, Andy Henley & Tanya Peterson) — The photos trickling in above are looking great. Thanks again for putting in the work.
• Dan Bayer — Sound man, mixmaster extraordinaire. Thanks again, Danny.
• Danielle-Leigh McQuinn — Traffic literally stopped when you walked by outside. Handing out flyers and directing folk upstairs was a huge part of the evening’s success. Thank you!
• Erica Thompson and Dima Fakhoury — Young, passionate, smart, great ideas; sorry you both missed the show, but *thank you* for all your continued help.
• Molly McGinn — Thanks for helping me with all the details.
• Justin Reich — the posters, the MySpace, the everything. Thanks, man.
• Special guests: Josh Neas, Kathy Clark, Chris Jackson, P Mac and Boss Bank. Great to see you all at the show, and I’m looking forward to working with you more in the future.

And to all the people who have showed up for our events, thanks so much. I hope you are having as good as time as I am. See you next month, June 26th, for Citified & Dawn Chorus.
