Matthew and his Spacebomb collective - who won the hearts of fans and critics alike with their extraordinary debut album, Big Inner (out now via Domino) - have been taking Europe by storm and have returned Stateside to convert the masses at Bonnaroo and at LA's Hollywood Bowl opening for She & Him.

Praise For Matthew E. White and Big Inner:

"On his exquisite debut album ... Mr. White's craftsmanship showed the influence of New Orleans's Allen Toussaint and L.A.'s Randy Newman... as nuanced and incisive with his lyrics as Mr. Newman was in his mid-'70s prime, with his band evoking comparisons to Spiritualized and Lambchop. There's patience in Mr. White's delivery and his backing band's pacing, though, that belie their youth." - The Wall Street Journal

"The spacey folk singer-songwriter delivers low, minimalist mumbles and bright peeks of falsetto over snug strings and brass orchestration..." - The New York Times

"Tonight he airs the gorgeous sounds of his garlanded debut record, Big Inner, which features expansive, soulful tracks indebted to Dr. John and Lambchop." - Time Out New York

"...the singer-songwriter's debut Big Inner explores the intangible spaces of yearning and Southern identification, with a twist of psychedelia." - NYMag.com

TEAMMATE * Tuesday, May 14th @ Piano's - 10 pm

[Teammate_General 1 - for email]Rostrum Records' bi-coastal indie-pop duo, TeamMate - consisting of drummer Dani Buncher and singer-keyboardist Scott Simons - who released their bubbly pop memoir The Sequel EP last month will be bringing their amazing live show to NYC. One day they were daydreaming about growing old together, and the next, Dani came out to her boyfriend. The two had been dating for a full decade. The Sequel EP tells the tale of Dani and Scott's relationship and the hardships that came along with it.PRESS<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQGJ0ybzGxg>
