The indie pop garden continues to blossom in the Bay Area! The Matinees' sophomore full length catches a ride on the fleeting warm sunbeams that visit SF around this time of year. Bask with us in some really good girl/boy sung tunes. On songs such as "Mission Beach" they're very much in the vein of Quasi, and take a more reeling whimsical spin more akin to Fiery Furnaces on "Fair Weather Friend". - Aquarius Records
When the band’s 2007 release, Sleepy Seeds, arrived at our studio, it won us over instantly. In a region with some quality indie pop, the band’s debut definitely stood out, with strong harmonies and endearing songs created from just two voices and two guitars. Both band members, PF Dumanis and Jaime Borschuk, come from a history of involvement in other projects, but there’s just an undeniable chemistry to their work as The Matinees. - The Bay Bridged

Bio
This San Francisco boy/girl duo creates stripped-down guitar-based songs that are alternately fervent, bouncy and pensive. The music draws power from influences such as The Pixies, Sonic Youth, and Mates of State while paying respect to the subtle melodies of Low, The Velvet Underground, and The Softies.
They have been featured with an interview on The Bay Bridged podcast and receive airplay on many radio shows including SomaFM's Indie Pop Rocks.
