TYLER 14/12/08 Jonah's Revenge First Review In!!! Hi everyone, Some good news is reaching me as I write to you. "Jonah's Revenge" has its first review in and its not bad at all. Here, see for yourself: "As the songs roll past, images are concocted of a Texan Troubadour, singing a rowdy bar to contemplative silence, or a Springsteen creating rough demos in the middle of the night, or a denim clad Eagles roadie finally going it alone, with his own stories and secrets. There is Americana and folk and heartfelt rock, all instruments played by this Birmingham native, utilizing a left of centre warmth and a natural feel for personal , intimate moments. With a voice just on the right side of rough, Tyler allows the songs to soar melodically through uncluttered arrangements, hooking into the mind with a wry pop sensibility. Stand out tracks for this reviewer are ‘Icarus’ which swoops and dives through the air like the character in the title and the sweetly orchestrated, ‘Lorraine’ If you can imagine the aural lovechild of Buckley in his folk phase, and early David Grey, this album captures that perfectly." NBT Music http://nbtmusic.wordpress.com Hopefully the first of many :-) Speak soon, Matt Tyler. 18/11/08 "Jonah's Revenge" Release Imminent!

However, I am pleased to share with you the news that the album is now finished and is being pressed in Germany as I speak. I will have the CD's in November in time for the release date (T.B.C.). And around December time It will be released worldwide on all digital music sites. The artwork too is now completed. You can check it out below. Photography and design by Jacob Lloyd. It is an exciting time time here at Dannyboy Records. Preparation work is well underway in anticipation of the release. Including updates to this site, Matt Tyler Radio, Matt Tyler TV, a new myspace layout, negotiations with radio stations, newspapers, magazines and podcasts, and of course promotion gigs along with much, much more...

Matt Tyler.
8/08/08 New Dannyboy Records Logo and Cox's Yard Continues!!! Hi guys, As completion of "Jonah's Revenge" verges even nearer, the artwork is currently being mocked up as we speak. To accompany this release we thought it was about time Dannyboy Records got itself and official logo! You may have seen it scattered about the sites this week. So here it is:
In addition, I am pleased to tell you that my gigs at Cox's Yard are set to be resumed into the latter part of the summer! Dates confirmed are 15th, 16th, 18th and 23rd August. With the possibility of more dates in September set to be announced. So, good news all around. Hope you all like the new "face" of Dannyboy Records. Speak soon, Matt Tyler. 27/07/08 Jonah's Revenge Track listing Revealed!!! Hi Everyone, Its been a busy few days with 7 gigs on the trot but with August soon upon us it is time to get back into the studio and finish off "Jonah's Revenge". I hope to have it all completed by the end of the month with a view to a release in October. So as promised here is the final track listing for the album: 1. Rustic Hero 2. In 2 Deep 3. Anastasia 4. Icarus 5. The Rest Of Me 6. Lorraine 7. Hear Your Call 8. Through The Pain 9. Running Out Of Time 10. Nothing Man Some of them you will know as a I have been previewing them at gigs recently. Others you will not have heard yet. It is a much more stripped down affair than "Dead Flowers By Midnight" with no drums at all involved and the main focus being on an acoustic sound. More news to follow as I get it including artwork, logos, and press releases. Matt Tyler. 9/07/08 Sutton News Article! Hey, Finally managed to get round to scanning that news article. Click here. Would be great to see any of you at The "Fuse Festival" on Friday or The "Sutton Arts Festival" on Saturday. Hopefully the weather will be kind to us :-) News in other areas. I am in talks with quite a big artist for a support slot some time in 2009. I can't say too much yet but Its all very exciting. Also the Matt Tyler T.V. is going swimmingly. Thanks for all those who are checking the new videos put every week. If you haven't done so yet go to www.youtube.com/matttylermusic And finally, we are in artwork, final vocal stage of "Jonah's Revenge" album. So an October 08 release is likely. Watch this space! Matt Tyler. 20/06/08 Matt Tyler Festival News, Tyler Headlining Sutton Arts Fest !!! Hi all, It's that time of year again for wellies and plenty of music in tents :-) I have been trying really hard this year to break into new Festivals having done the same ones for the last few years. So far I am confirmed as HEADLINING the Sutton Arts Fest on Saturday 12th July. I have also landed a spot on Lichfield's FUSE Festival (11th July) And I am still waiting on confirmation for The Warwick Folk Festival (Supporting Nizlopi) on the 26th/27th July.

I will get the article scanned and hopefully share it with you soon :-) Speak soon, Matt Tyler. posted 9/06/08 Matt Tyler T.V. Is Born!!! Hi everyone, I've been a bit quiet on here recently but don't worry its all for a reason :-) Recording is going well and I will soon be able to confirm the final track listing, so keep your eyes peeled for that. This week though I have been setting up "Matt Tyler T.V.". It is something I should have done ages ago but never actually finished the job. It is hosted on youtube and the address is www.youtube.com/matttylermusic So far there are: 4 tracks from The USA Tour in 2006. 2 Tracks from The Cavern in 2007. All 7 "Tyler Sessions Videos" by popular demand.

Its been a busy few days here and firstly I am very pleased to announce I will be playing a mini residency at Stratford Upon Avon's "Cox's Yard" this Saturday (31st May) and the following (7 June). I will be playing 3 times per day 12, 2 and 4. Come along if you are free and hopefully we will be accompanied by a bit of sunshine as they are outdoor gigs :-) It will be great to go back to Stratford again as I went to college there for 2 years. If it goes well there could be many more dates lined up this summer as the run will be extended. Festival season is upon us once more (those wellies could do with a good airing) and this year I have decided to try my hand at pastures new with spots at Sutton Arts Festival along with Warwickshire Folk Festival. (Details in gig guide). There is still a chance of more Festival slots in the coming weeks so I will keep you posted on that front. In my last post I mentioned using some clips from our video footage of "The Dead Flowers By Midnight Tour 2008" for our up and coming Matt Tyler channel on Youtube. Well, after some consideration I have decided to put them together with a bit of wizardry on the computer and I can confirm this will be the FIRST full length Matt Tyler DVD release. "Matt Tyler Dead Flowers By Midnight Tour 2008" will be available from this Saturday at Cox's Yard from myself and will be just £5!! They will also shortly be available here in the shop. The TV channel will still be happening, however I went to a music meeting in Birmingham last week and spoke to Dave Stewart from the "Eurhythmics". He was a great guy and went out of his way to offer advice to a few of us independent musicians and was very supportive. Had some very interesting ideas on this which I intend to follow up. Again, watch this space! Matt Tyler. posted 22/05/08 Tour Review and Things To Look Forward To! Well, after two months "The Dead Flowers By Midnight Tour 2008" is finally over. It has been a great experience with plenty of highlights along the way accompanied with a few low points too which no tour would be complete without. I would like to thank everybody who came to see me. I hope you enjoyed it and I look forward to seeing you again soon. Also, if you couldn't make a gig from the Tour this time and you would have liked to, all is not lost! I am working on editing some footage taken at a couple of the gigs and am looking at the possibility of releasing them on the internet weekly, so keep your eyes peeled for that. There is plenty to look forward to in the second part of 2008 at Dannyboy Records. "Jonah's Revenge" is being finished as we speak and will be all set for an autumn release. In addition I am in the process of sorting out something which should have been done a long time ago. A Matt Tyler "Youtube Channel". I am sorting through various archive footage and picking the best bits for include in weekly episode format (similar to the Tyler Sessions) . Check back for more info on this very soon! Lastly I will have a pretty big announcement to make in the coming weeks concerning a new musical venture which I am really excited about. It is top secret for now but be assured YOU will be the first to know :-) Until then, Matt Tyler. posted 06/05/08 Matt Tyler On Music Control (Beacon FM)! We Need You Votes!!!!

There is talk of me playing support for the legendary Steve Gibbons soon so watch this space! I met Trevor in the sound check which was a great honor and he had a copy of "Dead Flowers By Midnight" off me too :-) Finally, I had a little outing last week to see 80's British rock pioneer John Parr strut his stuff in Brum. It was an awesome night and I had a good chat to John after the show about independent music, studio technology and dreams funnily enough (see pic below). He was a really sound guy and it was great to pick is brains about a few things. He also took a copy of "Dead Flowers By Midnight" home with him so all in all a great week!
Hopefully see you on the road! Matt Tyler. posted 28/03/08 Kidzlikedanny 2 Released!!!
