Every time we hate on the opposite of our own politics we've handed a victory to big money, to the one percent, to the creators of disinformation that seeks to divide and conquer us, to the racist structures pilfering our intelligence and hard-earned money. That last thing those forces want, is for us to stand together and find common ground for the common good. If you have your doubts just follow the money.

He starts a musical project called Members of Sound, releasing a song a month over 2 years, teams up with hotshot San Francisco music booker KC Turner and begins collaborating with well established dance choreographer Christine Cali/CALI & CO dance on a full length dance/music performance extravaganza called Move Thru Me.

Members of Sound started out as just another late night idea on tour in West Hollywood. Now over 2 years down that road, the project has more than fulfilled Matt’s main objective, to stay creative and tell the tale of the musician’s journey. Members of Sound songs have been downloaded all over the world and have caught the attention of many, including, Peter Finch’s “FOG FILES” on KFOG 104.5, San Francisco Bay Area’s biggest radio station. The Members of Sound song “Move Thru Me” was the title and theme of a 3-day dance/music performance in San Francisco’s Mission Theatre in February 2011.

After playing 100 some odd gigs, creating a duet and video for “You Are The Chords” with singer/songwriter Megan Slankard, working with 20 different musicians and an array of producers who have worked with artists such as Four Non-Blonds, Dan The Automator, Train and Galactic, The Welcome Matt’s Members of Sound has neared the finish line, with a sold out performance at San Francisco’s favorite hipster live music venue Café Du Nord, yet the endeavor is far from over. In addition to all 24 MEMBERS OF SOUND singles being released on CD’S VOL 1-13 and VOL 14-24, a conceptual Members of Sound CD with bonus tracks and special guests is in the works for 2012, along with new videos, and national tours.

Indie rock, Acoustic Rock

The Welcome Matt’s much anticipated fourth and finest album entitled ‘Right Outside Your Door’ is here! Fronted by Matt Langlois, a New England native and longtime San Francisco transplant whose stage persona is reminiscent of Pete Townsend and Ray Davies and whose songwriting is in line with John Lennon and Jeff Tweedy. The band features Rob Sherman on guitar, Rick Munoz on drums and Andrew Lion on bass. The first track entitled ‘Longing’ includes Tucson inhabitant Jacob Valenzuela from Calexico on horns. As well as a guest appearance on “On The Ocean” from Prince/Sheila E keyboardist Rose Ann Dimalanta.

Matt is a natural storyteller with an expressive voice. He delivers an edgy, honest blend of indie/rock & folk/rock and his front man talents and songwriting skills are evident. He has been immersed in the local music scene since his move to SF in ’96 and has found a dedicated following and critical acclamation. The Welcome Matt has been featured on FOX and NBC and ‘In San Francisco’, a track off his second record, ‘Empire Days’ received airplay on KFOG 104.5FM and was included on the 2004 KFOG’S Local Scene CD. “In San Francisco” can also be heard during Giants baseball games in Pacific Bell Park.
