Matthew Gray isn’t just a booking person of course; he also is the namesake and lead-singer of his Matthew and the Arrogant Sea project. Apparently the MATAS management wants to make it known that the self-described (by Gray) “weird, indie-pop band” is not involved in any of the booking mishaps that FrontRow reported on yesterday. The full release is as follows. The same Dallas Observer employee (aka “Silent Majority,” and I just adore the Nixon reference. Fitting.) that linked to their own article on the same matter can feel free to do so again today. Says MATAS:
Message To Our Fans And Business Associates
Denton, TX – November 1, 2011 – To our friends and fans, venues,
booking agents, and Denton-dwellers, it has come to our attention the
recent events involving Matthew Gray and Denton County Proper. Please
be advised that the band, Matthew & The Arrogant Sea, has no
affiliation with Denton County Proper. We hope that these recent
events have not tarnished our name or in any way implicated our
involvement with DCP, as Matthew Gray acted independently from the
band. We love Denton and hope you love us for our music. We will
continue to serve our fans and call Denton home.If you have any comments, questions, or concerns, please contact our
Business Manager, Nicole Ido. [[email protected]]Thank you.
Sincerely,
Matthew & The Arrogant Sea
