Jonah Matranga @ the Gershwin Hotel in 2008 ( more by Tim Griffin ) Jonah Matranga is starting a tour of the UK on 11/25, but first he's visting the east coast. Catch the California-based Far frontman at the Gershwin Hotel in NYC tonight (11/21) and at Watermark in Asbury Park, NJ on Tuesday (11/22) (thx Kristian ). I'm not sure where the Occupy Wall Street protestors are currently gathering, if anywhere, [...]
Jonah Matranga (of onelinedrawing , Far and New End Original ) covered one of our favorite straight-ahead "goodbye" pop-punk songs, Alkaline Trio's "I'm Dying Tomorrow", and you can hear the exclusive stream over at the Alternative Press Web site . It's much more subdued, as you'd expect it to be, but the sincerity shines through even easier than the original. A Tribute To Alkaline Trio is out August 30 on Pacific Ridge Records . Godspeed!
Photo by Justin Quinnell Some people have a natural ability when it comes to songwriting, and even though he's had a lot of time to perfect it - Jonah Matranga is definitely one of those. The Massachusetts-born musician moved to California in '87 and has been there cranking out kick-ass tunes ever since. More recently, he's dropped his Onelinedrawing moniker and has embraced some pretty innovated
I love it when a plan comes together. Als je me wat beter kent, weet je dat ik zowel een zeer grote house als alternatieve muziekliefhebber ben, maar niet zo heel erg diep in de Urban, R&B en Hip-Hop zit. Maar toch is er ook wel het een en ander in dat genre waar ik wel degelijk van gecharmeerd ben. Ik was erg verrukt toen ik laatst een ontdekking deed die al deze muziekstijlen met elkaar verbond. En die ontdekking is Skylar Grey. En en Skylar Grey kennen jullie allemaal natuurlijk al. Niet? Nou, ik denk [...]

When I began Kata Rokkar , I never expected it to bloom into what it has become today. I have been able to travel all over the country to witness some amazing concerts, interview personal heroes, and create a showcase of stand-up comedians and musicians that I am very proud of. It's been a ride and I am so thankful for all of you that read our articles, check out the bands we write about, and attend our goofy little Snob Theater shows.

A decade and a handful of other less successful projects later, FAR is back, and despite their role in the popularity of emo, the boys have grown up and learned to get along. 1998's break-up was somewhat confusing. The Sacramento quartet were at the height of their career, regular air play on the West Coast's largest alt-rock stations, Water & Solutions was dubbed one of the most influential albums of the year by Alternative Press.... but like any good emo-kids, they just couldn't play nicely. It's a long story of re-uniting, backyard barbecues, and you can't [...]
Far came into my life at just the right time. I was pretty much over the overdone meatheadedness of metal (especially the metal clientele), but I still liked to ... you know, rock the fuck out. I first saw Far in 1996 opening for Helmet at the El Dorado Saloon in Sacramento. Something struck me about the crowd ... I didn't fear for my life, for one. Plus I could tell the audience truly loved this band Far. The entire experience was this bizarre hippie hardcore love-fest led by vocalist Jonah Matranga , and [...]
Uno dei leit motif della fine degli anni 90, della prima metà della seconda metà degli anni 90 per la precisione era "Jonah Matranga è Dio". Niente è cambiato a più di dieci anni di distanza, se non il fatto che Jonah Matranga sempre in meno sanno chi sia e anzi, molto probabilmente sono rimasti a saperlo gli stessi di quegli anni lì. Non tutti perchè parte di quelli presi da altre cosa neanche se lo ricordano più, chi sia. Per chi non lo sapesse neanche ora in quattro parole è uno della sacra trinità Schreifels, Cuomo, Matranga.

Looking down at his phone, Far's lead vocalist Jonah Matranga says, "Someone wants to hear Seasick ." "I keep saying we need to learn that again!" says guitarist Shaun Lopez as thy sit backstage at San Francisco's Bottom of the Hill. The band is just about to take the stage for one of many 'reunion' shows they have been playing across the country. It's no surprise the show is sold out too, Far has been out of the scene for 10 years now and their audience needs a reminder as to why they are so [...]
