Just last week, we were hanging out at Green Label Sound Launch Party and got to catch these cats in action [Brooklyn Vegan]. After seeing just how they tore the place apart, it’s no wonder that Matt and Kim [Official Site, Myspace] are one of SMS’ favorite acts in the world – he’s seen them 5-6 times without us and every time – “Whoa, you missed a good one!” This Green Label show was so good, Shawn ended up with pneumonia again!
Matt & Kim are completely punk-rock (and apparently don’t know it!) and they just want to have fun.
Come see what all the fuss is about “after the jump”
At the Show host Brendon hangs out at The Echoplex‘s “F Yeah Fest” with indie rock duo Matt and Kim, who play their hit song, “Cut Down”.

“Matt and Kim have developed a fast-paced cocktail of kick and snare mixed with anthemic, synth-driven choruses. Since coming together as a band in 2004, their feverish enthusiasm and blinding live sets have won them critical acclaim and devoted fans – a perfect fit for the Green Label Sound lineup.”
Check out their new single below and download it for free from Green Label. I would re-post it here, but their legal mumbo-jumbo frightened me too much.

I was exposed to them a year or two ago when I first heard “Yea Yeah.” It was like a children’s song on speed. They’re amazing.
Yeah, they are amazing. Salty is right, I was so sick that night after the show. Here’s another good write-up from a friend of mine that was there with us: http://allthatsfab.com/2008/09/17/all-thats-fab-attends-the-green-label-sound-launch-party/
