Yesiree ladies and gentleman we now have some lovely garments with you to insulate yourself during the winter months. Have a look.
They have been lovingly screen printed by Get A Grip studios in Birmingham onto 100% organic cotton Anvil t-shirts. Sizes available are small, medium, large and gril's medium. Colours are white, red and yellow haze.
Prices are £7 at gigs and £10 postpaid. Email matadors@gmail.com for availability and be the classiest looking hipster on the block.
Here's a second song from our forthcoming debut album (which we will think of a name for very soon, honestly) - a balls out rocker by the name of Beneath The Night (we are aware it sounds like one of those Channel 5 'erotic' dramas they always used to show late on a Friday night).
The album will be available for a lovely pay-whatever-you-want price from 7th November on our Bandcamp page, if you've forgotten the URL it's here:

We also have some gigs lined up - including our official album launch at the Fox & Newt on the 18th of November - we will probably even have t shirts for sale. Check the side panel for the rest of the dates, we always want more as well.
We all know how well loved we are by all and sundry, but after tonight's gig (at Santiago's with Blacklisters, The Dead Beat and Two Trick horse in case you were wondering) we have no more lined up - not one. Hard to believe I know. So give us a gig and we'll love you forever.
Oh yeah, we're recording our album in a couple of weeks so keep your ears peeled for it.
Just a quick note to give you the lowdown on a couple of gigs we have coming up in the month of July. We are always after more gigs so don't be afraid to ask us, we don't bite. All we ask for is £500, a well stocked rider and no brown M&Ms. We're joking of course - brown M&Ms are Davey's favourite.
On with the hoopla...
8th July at The Hop in Wakefield
We are very excited to be playing alongside Pylon who have got back together for a couple of farewell gigs and then that's that, no more - see them while you still can, they are marvellous. Also playing will be the lovely Helen Chambers and James 'Jimmy' Islip doing their acoustic thing. We are sandwiched between them like a gone off slice of ham between two fresh slices of artisan bread.
If you haven't heard Pylon before then shame on you, make up for it right now. Incidentally, this song is miles better than anything we'll ever do.
29th July at Santiago's in Leeds
Our good friend Toby 'Razor' Chelms has put together a bloody corking affair. Along with us there is Leeds' very own answer to The Jesus Lizard: Blacklisters. Also... The Dead Beat, who will be travelling all the way from Brighton, they are rocking and remind me of Born Against mixed with New Bomb Turks. Very new and exciting Leeds two-piece Two Trick Horse round the bill off. All comparisons are Albini based but I hear a lot of poppy influences in there as well.
Give them all a listen and make your own minds up...
Come along to these gigs - they will be fun affairs.
Now if only anybody actually read this blog we might be onto something... Here's a great video to reward those who might have happened to stumble onto here. Cheerio.
PS our demo is still hotter than an electric fire in a student house with 2 bars turned on. Check it.
