Matthew Caws gets hotter as he gets older. Met him the first time last May 20 in SF, he's the sweetest guy. I fell in love with how intimate their concert is. One of my favorites concert.
Last time I saw them without Daniel Lorca was a show in Irvine, CA in 2008. Daniel broke his arm and couldn't fly with it, so they had Ozma's bassist sit in. It was funny.
One of my favorite all time bands. Always loved the tones and sonic sounds they got from their well crafted songs. They never stuck on one tempo / feel.
Mathew and the band just make me happy every time I hear them. So, I should be perpetually joyful b/c I can't get their songs out of my head. Doesn't quite work that way but let's just say, the world would be a darker place w/o Nada Surf
I like the coldplay vibe feel, no compare, each are unique but the feeling/vibe is what I am deciphering. His heart is in the music 100 percent, not everyone can do that, especially a man, many are very closed and the ego is at the forefront, no room for feeling.
Brummel is sitting in for Lorca for touring and promo performances - Lorca had some personal stuff and needed to sit out touring, but is still a member of the band.
