In case you were wondering, "Let's Go" is no longer downloadable because the quality of the tune in the pureplayer was so horrible relative to the actual recording quality. If you are interested in obtaining a copy, we do still want you to have this one--just email us and we'll hook you up with the real deal.

5/9/06

You an Elliott Smith fan? Perhaps a Matthew Heins fan? Or maybe a Parker fan? Be sure to check out Nick Wong, bassist and vocalist for Parker, at his Purevolume site: www.purevolume.com/nickwong. Keep checking back!

That's a thousand.

10/7/05
Two headlines: First off, due to venue miscommunication, the upcoming concert has been postponed until November 8th at 9:45 at Groundzero Coffee House on the University of Southern California Campus. That gives you 2 weeks more to get psyched.

Second, the computer is back up and running. Let's hit 1000 plays, then we'll get some new stuff up on the site! You know you want to listen to it anyway...

10/5/05
On Monday, October 24th at 9:30PM, Matthew Heins will be performing LIVE at Groundzero Coffee House at the University of Southern California. The show is, thank goodness, FREE, and will be a night of wild sex and rampant drug use, not to mention some great music. Well maybe not the drugs. But definitely the sex. Anyway, come on out and have a great time with us! We're looking forward to it!

9/28/05
Apologies! It has been nearly a decade since new music was posted on this site, and due to recent technological failures, Matthew has no access to previously recorded music, nor does he have a mechanism by which to record, produce, and post new tunes. Hopefully, the arrival of a new month will also feature the arrival of a healed or replaced hard drive--which means October is our month of Jubilee! Look forward to at least one new tune, and keep checking back. ALSO: help us hit 1000 plays. If you can hit a thousand, maybe we can give you some bonus new stuff to play with. Thanks for staying with us!

8/21/05
New version of In Your Way to pick you up. Explore the site! Thanks for checking in!

Sorry we've been MIA for so long...summer is our time to turn so lazy that we can't even muster up the strength to type. Be on the lookout for a full band version of In Your Way, set to hit the player in the very near future! Also, new performance dates to be announced! Don't give up on the site!

5/4/05
