I moved to Los Angeles in October 1995, that same month the band Self released their first album 'Subliminal Plastic Motives'. In early '96 I heard the single 'So Low' and was blown away, Los Angeles was full of hyped bands, but this was the real deal. I could hear through the typical Indie Rock mid 90's stylings and see some amazing substance! The album was full of great songs and sonic candy that reminded me of everything I loved about music!

My friend Desi told me they were playing the Dragonfly so off we went and saw an incredible show! There was moment I will NEVER forget, Matt grabbed a keyboard and using only the stock sounds on it proceeded to play the Primitive Radio Gods hit 'Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth with Money in my Hand'! The BB King sample came as stock in the keyboard!

I bumped into Matt at Vance Powell's Sputnik Studio Party at NAMM and told him I was a huge fan and I'd been at that gig and remembered that event with the keyboard! He said to his girlfriend 'see it really happened!' Haha. I think the story had become folklore!
