Matinée on Music Week

..a new review for 'City Lifestyle' on Music Week Magazine presents:

''Matinee are a four-piece London-based Italian rock‘n’roll band and City Lifestyle (out now) is their official UK debut single release; a punchy, angular guitar number screaming out the sounds of British indie rock‘n’roll as they sing about their new home. The UK has embraced them with support from NME TV, NME online, Q radio while Scotland’s Jim Gellaty is an official fan. To top the UK love affair off, their debut album has been produced by Tony Doogan (Belle & Sebastian, Carl Barat, Teenage Fanclub) who also produced City Lifestyle. Matinee have played live at key London venues including Death Disco (Alan McGee’s night) and the 100 Club. Their love of UK music shines through after support slots with Razorlight, Mystery Jets, The Futureheads, The Wombats and British Sea Power''
