Think - The Drift

Blandie Cosima 7-inch

Pablo's Triangle -- unreleased CDR, demo, album, whatever you wanna call it

The Black Dahlias -- Jawbone of an Ass (self-released very limited edition odds & sods thing -- demos and live tracks -- defines them as a band better than the 'studio' stuff did)

In addition to The Geckos, Matt was also in Opium Taylor, The Trendies, Think, The Black Dahlias, The Joe Krings Prog Inflation, Cheyntara, MCMS, Rise Up Beggar, The Tom Ficke Group, TV City, and probably a few others I'm forgetting, and currently lives in Chicago, where he was a member of Head of Femur.
