I like to look up videos that other people do with our songs. I found these today.

There is one tap dancing one on here that I love! You have to understand, I love to dance and the thought of having a “Matt & Kim” dance video is a dream. One day I will have my way… In the meantime, check out some of these videos I found this morning. I am going to go search for more Matt and Kim dance videos.

Daylight – Matt and Kim Tap Dance

Cutdown Dance

This one is a crazy snowboard video

And here’s a non-dance one that just cracked me up

IT’S OFFICIAL!  On August 31, we’ll be releasing our first single, “CAMERAS”, from our upcoming fall album.  We’ve been working on this album for most of 2010 and are so proud and excited and CAN’T WAIT for people to hear it!

We also have a final schedule of our fall tour.  It includes the list of amazing support acts we chose and can’t wait to watch/listen/PARTY to each night.

See you all soon
stay awesome
matt

Has it already been a month! I really hope I don’t miss summer, but we have important things to get done, like finish our album and get ready for our tour. I guess summer will have to wait.

This month’s t-shirt design is by Lulu Wolf. Check out her other art here

These postcards were given away at a few of our recent shows, including Lollapalooza. You can draw the rest and make us look like a couple of jerks. Send them back to us ’cause we love getting mail and we’ll put ones we like on our site. Here are some we’ve received so far. Lovin’ the chopped off head!

You didn’t get a postcard? Download a PDF version and mail it to us!

Hope all is awesome.
matt and kim

We had an amazing time at Lollapalooza. Can’t wait to come back to Chicago on September 19!

Watch our Backstage Video Interview with WXRT and check out some photos from the show

It’s time for a new t-shirt design.

This design is by Stella Lee.
Check out her other work here www.jstellalee.com

You can buy this t-shirt and all other merch here

Siren Festival is taking place this Saturday (July 17th) in Brooklyn at Coney Island. We are headlining this year and will be hitting the stage at 7:30. We haven’t played a New York show in over a year.  It is time to come home!

I was packing my bag and thought I would share with you things you might need:

Sunscreen – Matt is so white that if the sun peeks through a shadow it burns him.

Water - Sometimes we forget, but you need a “spacer” between all those beers.

Money for beer – Unless you can scam some… Girls, bat those eyelashes!

Short shorts – Coney Island is hot.  Why wear a lot of clothing?!

Bathing suit or underwear - Who’s ballsy enough to jump in that water?

Cell phone – It’s crazy how you can lose someone as soon as you step off the train.

Grape juice – Come on guys… you know there isn’t grape juice in that bottle.

Your dance shoes – They don’t have to be fancy. They don’t even have to be on your feet.

Extra life – You have to ride The Cyclone and if you survive it you just used up your extra life!

See you guys Saturday.

Big hugs
Kim
