so will the echo

provide a REVIEW of their recommended show?

and, p.s. at least they have the decency to publish an ad citing calendar girl needs while they let their calendar run amuk.

the link from matt's site to echo reads:

Ok folks, the Hillside Festival is here once again, and, as
per usual, the line-up for the weekend is stellar. So, I’ll
spare you my pontificating on the musical/cultural
importance of such a brilliant festival and get right down
to it. Here are your top ten reasons to get out to Guelph
Lake this weekend:

1.Matt Mays & El Torpedo
Matt Mays & El Torpedo released the best, (that’s right:
the BEST), Canadian album of 2005. I was already in
love with the album when I first saw them live, and I was
floored. A note perfect performance, ugly with
nonchalance and SKRREEE-ing guitars, and the
deepest grooves allowable in rock ‘n’ roll. Mays’ drawl
betrays his young age and you believe every word he
says and every yarn he spins. If Crazy Horse was a
genre, then Matt Mays & El Torpedo would win that
Grammy every year. The best thing about the band
though, is that they’re actually getting mainstream
success. A lot! This could be the band that changes the
landscape of Canadian rock. Let’s hope so. These
dudes will be on the Main Stage on Saturday, 8:25pm.
