for a while I thought people were saying "Modest Mou--" because they said it so fast. I was like, "Modest Mouse does Hasidic Reggae?"

Learned about Matis on the BigSoccer boards, some dude was talking about seeing the Hasidic crowd having fun at an MSG show. Boughtthe album and love it.

its just watered-down psuedo-reggae. if the dude didnt sport the Hasidic duds no one would pay attention.

have you ever been to one of his shows Andrew?

Posted by brooklynvegan | January 25, 2006 1:02 PM

no - just heard the record and was very unimpressed.

I agree Andrew...he does seem more like a gimmick act than anything else, but hey, if it sells, who am I to judge?

FYI, March 7th show is not sold out

Posted by Eduardo | January 25, 2006 7:27 PM

complete gimmick...most of his fans probably don't own a single other reggae record.
