This is a belated tribute to the short-lived but very much loved HBO series "Bored to Death," which was officially cancelled two weeks ago. Aside from making me laugh hysterically (and shed a few happy-tears), Bored to Death also turned me on to some great new musicians. One of those artists is Matt Duncan , an unheralded but richly talented singer songwriter from Lexington, KY. His song "1000 Boys" off of his tremendous 2010 effort Beacon rolled along [...]
This might actually be my favorite Matt Duncan song. The new Lexington recording project 10in20 really brought out the best in the Matt Duncan Band with "All Sails." It's a catchy, well-produced song from one of Lexington's best songwriters. Buy this track at 10in202s Bandcamp
Matt Duncan is the GroopEase groop of the day! Get the Special Edition album "Beacon" http://t.co/jhVH2IqO @ groopease
YANP buddy Chad Stockfleth sent over this video of Matt Duncan playing a non-Beacon track "Validate My Parking" live. It's an incredible video with crystal clear audio (which you'll want for a Matt Duncan song). Enjoy!

Matt Duncan has some new tunes, one being a cover of Idiot Glee's "I Want the Night To Stay," which came out on this digital single (in the UK) . The other is a delayed summer jam, "Summer Song" (below). Grab it. Matt Duncan - "Summer Song" by indiemusicfilter

Последний летний хит этого года написал простой парень из Кентукки по имени Matt Duncan, невероятно талантливый молодой человек, чей ду-воп стиль вы узнаете с первых аккордов. Серьёзная духовая секция, несколько голосов, крутая басовая партия и пляжный настрой заставят вас вспомнить всё, что произошло за три летних месяца. Кстати, Matt Duncan живёт в том же городе, что и Idiot Glee, поэтому ни для кого не станет сюрпризом отличный кавер на « I Want the Night to Stay » с дебютного альбома «Paddywack». Нравится?

When I got home today, I quickly took my pants off and lied down on the couch, aiming to relax for a little while before making the first moves of weekend. That's the last thing I remember, and now its almost 11pm and I'm not entirely sure what happened. Common sense says I accidentally fell asleep, but I suspect I was tranq'ed, possibly via dart or airborn gas. Not sure, but I feel sluggish, and I'm pretty fucking certain that I had some Orangina in the fridge. But there is no Orangina, and I hate the world for this. [...]

Got a delightful surprise from my homeland this morning by way of Kentucky musician Matt Duncan , a super talented dude I highlighted in 2010 . Duncan's doo-wop, throwback style of pop is as refreshing as it is upbeat. Driven by wobbly bass lines, a solid brass section, and harmonies fit for some boys from the beach - "Summer Song" is exactly that, a great summer jam. Matt Duncan - Summer Song Matt, being friends with and living in the same city [...]
My Lexington readers are no doubt skipping this intro after saying "hell yeah! new Matt Duncan song!" but there are no doubt a few of of you who aren't yet familiar with Matt. MP3: Matt Duncan - Summer Song Matt sent me this song, saying it'll "probably never have a home." It's a shame, since [...]
MP3: Matt Duncan - A Thousand Boys (demo) Yesterday a new Matt Duncan fan asked if he ever plays around town. Boy, does he ever. Here's Matt's latest gig, a show this Saturday March 26 with Andy Mason. Go welcome him back from SXSW, buy him a drink and enjoy the show. Matt Duncan w/Andy [...]

Our friends over at I Guess I'm Floating are throwing an awesome party on Tuesday in Lexington. Headlining is the Holiday Shores who we brought to the Nachbar not to long ago with Twin Sister . They put on a great show and is sure to be a blast. Lexington's Idiot Glee is also on the bill. This band has been making major waves down in Lex and I'm curious to see why. Louisville's The Pass is playing too, and we've given then enough digital [...]

Nothing like a little local love to get the live show blood a'flowin! Unfortunately, since I am still in KY, that means something like 5% of all who read this post will actually be able to attend. No fear, other 95% - once I relocate to NYC we'll throw down all the time and have plenty of chances to party. Nevertheless, I am stoked to be throwing this show in Lexington featuring one of my favorite young acts Holiday Shores - who released the eighth best albums of 2009 and have been touring [...]

I was recently challenged to create a list of 10 bands you can't ignore this summer. However, since you can always just ignore them - but you better not ignore them! - and because this will serve as the first of many lists celebrating Buzzgrinder's upcoming ninth birthday, we've brought you nine bands you shouldn't ignore in the coming months. And instead of raving about normal Buzzgrinder touchstones (which I could do, since J. Roddy Walston and the Business , These United States , Rodeo Ruby Love and a bunch of others have [...]

I got friends in New York City..." I've been on synth-pop overdrive as of late and my usual retreat from that is either some Northern Soul or piano driven song writers like Billy Joel, Elton etc. But this time around I've found a new artistby the name of Matt Duncan and his latest single Beacon could be more on point for my life's current events. I'm in the middle of making a very big decision that would affect this blog, my companies, Et Musique Pour Tous, Noctambule and pretty much everything I [...]

This is the first I've ever heard from Matt Duncan. I checked it out randomly and it turned out to be one of the few good decisions I've made this weekend (Along with Tweeting "615 Rawr" at 6:15 last night/this morning. wtf?). I was already won over by the smooth vocals, tasteful snapping and simple bass stabs, and then at 1:15 that guitar came in and took shit to another level like the person who introduced the obvious combination of energy drinks and alcohol. From IGIF : Duncan just released an EP titled [...]
:: Paul McCartney is doing a Ustream chat , and he'll be answering questions from fans. Be sure to ask him about Say Say Say . And Wings . And Ram . You know, all the good stuff. :: Looks like the reason John Bush didn't stick it out with Anthrax was at least partially because he didn't want to re-record Worship Music . He also didn't feel the need to make a boat load of money rejoining the band. :: You know [...]

James Friley, the man behind Kentucky lo-fi act Idiot Glee , is one of the nicest musicians you'll ever meet and has a great taste in music to go along with his own creative skillset . He shot me an email the other day about a show he's playing a few blocks from my house with another local Lexington artist named Matt Duncan (not to be confused with the depressed and shirtless Matt Duncan from Tunnel Hill, Georgia). Duncan just released an EP titled Beacon and it's [...]
