Monty Are I - Break Through The Silence
Monty Are I, the greatest Rhode Island band that this little planet (that I call 3) has ever heard has just announced that their amazing bass player, Mike Matarese is going to retire after playing his final show April 17th at the Colosseum in Providence.
“Saturday, April 17th will be my last home show with the band. I have had some amazing experiences and great times for ten years playing with these guys. This has been a tough decision to make because for years, all I have known is the band. It’s been a long road and I have had to make a lot of sacrifices along the way, and now I feel as though I need to take my life in a different direction. I would like to thank the band for all the great times, all the fans that supported us, and most importantly all my loved ones for helping me pursue my dreams.” [youtube.com/montyarei]
I am well pleased with how the career has turned out for these fellas. I am bummed I am not able to attend the farewell show for MIke. However, I will recall the days of touring and wanting desperately to be their merch guy. But Noooooooo, they already had a ‘way more cool and hip merch guy,’ so they refused. In fact they cussed me out when I asked. Now that’s all in the past (in fact the whole merch thing didn’t happen) and I really do want to wish the boys the best and especially Mike with his new endeavors.
Mike, I can only congratulate you on all your successes and the incredible journey you’ve had so far. God bless you.

ps MONTY, see if you can change your label to Rhode Island Def Jams, it flows better.
