Centro-Matic

CENTRO-MATIC IN CONCERT:After nearly two decades together, beloved alt-country outfit Centro-Matic announced that their December 2014 tour dates would be their last -- meaning fans have one last chance to see them in action. The band's guitar-heavy, Americana-infused sound is rich with nostalgia yet full of contemporary edge, making for a dynamic concert experience that ranges from grunge-influenced tracks like "Atlanta" to modern rock numbers like "Iso-Residue". On their Centro-Matic Farewell Tour the band promises to pull out all the stops, performing career-spanning sets that will keep their inimitable energy fresh in ticket buyers’ minds for years to come. BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:Texas-based Centro-Matic began in 1995 as the bedroom recording project of prolific singer-songwriter Will Johnson.

I've seen Centro-matic about 10 times since around 2000, including at least 3 or 4 shows at the Mercury Lounge in NYC. They put on a consistently great & very musical performance that rocks. Though it amazes me that they aren't playing much bigger places, I can't complain since the intimate Mercury Lounge is one of the best venues in New York (if not the entire country). Will Johnson & company always bring a balanced set, and this was no exception. While not surprisingly a bit heavy on songs from Candidate Waltz, this only showcased how strong this new record is as everything fit in seamlessly with older material. Oh, and those shiny new Creston Electric guitars that both Johnson & Mark Hedman played sounded fabulous.
