THE MATTHEW TEARDROP ORCHESTRA "self titled" TAPE
Matthew Teardrop is a musician playing out of Detroit. As the frontman for Manhattan Murder Mystery, he led the band as singer, guitarist, and harmonica player for over a decade from their homebase in Los Angeles, California.
They toured their darkly comic and optimistically tragic songs through such legendary venues as CBGBs, Gilman, The Troubadour, and more, and their last album was recorded at Electrical Audio in Chicago by the late Steve Albini.
Matthew Teardrop's new ensemble of musical veterans includes Michigan mainstay Lumen Klein on drums and bassist Shaun Hunter of the Bay Area band The Acharis. The Matthew Teardrop Orchestra's new record was produced by Dirtbombs bassist Jim Diamond, whose previous work includes the first two White Stripes albums.
In this new collaboration, Teardrop continues his writing and performing of anthemic and heartfelt rock n’ roll ballads with working class roots in both folk music and punk.
