Thanks Bill! Crash is the best- glad you you're liking what you hear. Where are you traveling from if you don't mind me asking?

Never had this happen before, but I'm driving in my car today traveling through Sx Falls and I'm tuning into this station and I hear this seriously hip song about New Orleans. This guy named Crash mentions this Matt D guy and his Saints. (New Orleans Saints, I dig it) Checked into tmy motel in Windom, MN and after about 45 minutes of searching I find you here. Im officially a Fan for life guys. I Love the sound. Super cool.

This is some of the best indie Americana I've heard in a decade. Fresh, original and inventive. Plank Road is a big fave. I'm glad to hear you're putting out a new disc. I'll be sure to watch for it. Great stuff.

My friend Michael turned me on to your music. This is the future of American roots rock. Brilliant writing and musicianship. Your guitarist knows his shit. I kneel! Best of luck to you all even though you don't need it. We'd love to host you in Colorado sometime.

That is one thing I have against you guys. You hardly ever play Sioux City. I feel as though I have a better chance seeing a show in Sioux Falls or Omaha with this band than I do at home. I and a lot of folks really would enjoy seeing you play more around Sioux City. We have so few really good bands around here and your one of the very few. You left a big gap when you stopped playing here. We miss you.

I was in Sioux City for a quick 48 hrs. I told my family, "If Mat D is playing I'm ditching you guys for a few hours to see my favoriate Sioux City band." Unfortunately, no gigs were posted and I'll have to wait a few more months to enjoy your music in person. Until them, I'm sharing your amazing writing and music with EVERYONE! Keep writin' & rockin' Mr. Mat!

Through a series of strange and wonderful conversations your group kept coming up over much whiskey, coffee and good food. So, I finally get the chance to see what the fuss is all about and now I know why people are talking you up. You make great music and I've followed a few links to your vids out there too. Very nice indeed. I'd love to see you make it to the Rockies sometime in the very near future. Until then I will be an avid follower and promoter of your music.

Saw you boys for the first time with your act at Jazz fest and just heard you guys will be at Wiley's downtown - going to try and bring a dozen or so friends and coworkers to the show. You should have been on mainstage!!! Excited to hear you have a nnew CD coming too. You guys rock it hard! Thanks. I am a forever fan.

Naomi- thank you so much. Cool thing is- save a highschool friend and about 4 others I honestly thought Mitchell, SD was not really into it- you as well as a few others made the gig worth it.

So here I am traveling through South Dakota only to stumble upon a the little town of Mitchell. I had never seen the Corn Palace before so a girlfriend and I just happened to catch your performance on a complete whim. Wow, man! Are we glad we heard you. You've got a big sound for a guy and a guitar. Not usually my style of music but I fell in love with your voice. So as soon as we reached the hotel in St. Cloud we looked up your music online and bought everything we could find. You've been on the stereo ever since. sure am glad we saw the Corn Palace it was even beter seeing you. God bless.

We enjoyed your set Saturday afternoon in Boji. You are by far one of the best we have ever heard there. Your Johnny Cash covers were wonderful and it was nice to hear an artist present his original music so seamlessly with the more familiar songs you played. It was so different to hear your recordings with the band on your website! My girlfriends and I can't stop listening. Very enjoyable. Thank you for making it up here. We hope you come back soon.

July 21, 2011
Great music. I really like your "image" with the devil horns and halo. Very cool. Nice set at Jazz Fest. I'm enjoying getting more familiar with your work. Good luck to you all. Do you ever venture into Minnesota?
Don Brown
July 19, 2011
Damn! Caught your set at Jazzfest. What in the world were you men doing on second stage? I came and saw you right off, went back to catch the T-birds and thought I needed to catch the rest of your show so I headed back to the tent. I'm real glad I did. You've got some energy. Raw, real, honest energy. Gutsy, gutsy stuff. Dirt Town has not left my CD player since I bought it. You boys seem to be a well kept secret. People need to let the secret out. We hope to see you again real soon.

I've got to say you're one big hairy bearded piece of hotness. I heart you Matt D

June 24, 2011
I agree with everything brian said with one exception I don't hear a lot of country. I hear early rock n roll in shades of blue I just happened to be stopping in for a beer at the star bar and stayed for your whole set we would love to see you again up here in the cities really enjoyed the acoustic stuff nice voice great band
Brian
June 23, 2011
I came out to Latitude 44 and saw you and your band briefly with a few friends. I was left with one conclusion: I have no idea why you guys aren't playing arenas on a national stage. You are without a doubt one of the best country rock acts I've seen in Sioux Falls. Top honors friends. I'm enjoying your Dirt Town CD very much.

May 4, 2011
I wish I had good news for you Andy, but I don't. Their were 250 copies of Small Town Burning in print and we sold out in 2007. With Brand New Faith we pressed 300 and they went out of print in 2009 as well as the remaining 500 copies of Gasoline Rattle in 2010. I have no additional copies on hand. Send me an email through the contact page and I'll send you some free swag if you like. Sorry man.
Andy
May 4, 2011
I've been looking for copies of small town burning, brand new faith and gasoline rattle but can't find the physical cds anywhere. Do you guys still sell those albums or have any that I can purchase direct? I'm sort of a collector and would like top have your entire catalog. Any hope?
Tiffany
April 28, 2011
I had heard plenty about you on the radio and papers and such around Sioux Falls for years but didn't catch your act until last night. It's great to see a regional/local band that has the talent to match people like Wayne Hancock and Bob Wayne with something original to offer. You're a departure from anything else we have around here and that is a good thing. Not only do you have one of the sexiest voices I've ever heard the whole band from drums, bass and guitar were over the top. You're a favorite for around here. Hope to see and hear more of you very soon.
Mat D
April 20, 2011
Thanks Steve, much appreciation. Either I (solo) or the band should be heading east in September- maybe Illinois would be a great stop on the way to or back from NY. We'll be in touch! Thanks!

April 19, 2011
I heard your music on WWHP "The Whip" Farmer City Illinois and HAD to have your CD Dirt Town City Limits.,,,So, I bought it! Can't wait to get it. If you go on tour, you would have good response here in Central Illinois. I am an Upright Bass player in a Western Swing Band (Caffeine Patrol) and if you need any help finding gigs let me know. The Castle Theatre in Bloomington IL is a great venue, as well as many around Champaign IL. Thanks for the great music!

You huys put on one hell of a show Saturday night! Glad I get to catch you in Rapid next weekend. Don't know if you remember meeting me, I was the bald guy that shook your hand as soon as you got off stage. Wow man. Been a long time since I heard original music with balls! Enjoyed meeting you and your crew. You've got some great people working for you. All the best Matt D and Saints. I will display my Cooler proudly!
Mat D
March 27, 2011
Benjamin - Thank you for the note. It's messages like yours and many others from our wonderful and dedicated fans that keep us going. It means so much.
Should be in NYC in Fall 2011 either solo or with the band in tow. We'll keep you posted when the East Coast is in sight.
Benjamin
March 26, 2011
Man, you guys can play it. Here's hoping for a successful tour this spring. I noted you played with John Hiatt (one of my favorites). Please let your fans know how we can support you--Mat D and the Profane Saints should be a national band. You've got the entire package: music, graphics and fan contact. Let us know how we can buy merch to support the band's efforts (on the East Coast). From perspective you're BETTER than Springeteen and working with Hiatt is great validation.

Matt D, you are without a doubt one of the sexiest men in music. Your wife is a very lucky girl and I am eternaly jealous. Ford Marraige is one of the most wonderful songs I've ever heard. Rarely does a man's voice move me like yours has. Your music makes me want to do bad things!!! Luv U 4 ever, Nicki

For those that missed the 10.22 Mat D & Co. show at "Meet Virginia"... what the hell were you thinkin? This was one of those nights where some magic happened. Old favorites... current hits and future legends all in one night! "Plank Road Drag" is still red hot and Mat deftly pulls a future rabbit or two out of his hat to wet our appetites for the next CD. The addition of Laura on the fiddle added delicate and mournful deliciousness to the gut punching ballads. Lets hope this is another road we get to travel with Mat. The future is bright indeed. Good luck!
Mat D

Mat & Kurt, nice show tonight at "Meet Virginia" (and also Laura & Josh!). I can now say "I was there!" at the official CD release party of "Plank Road Drag". Even though I was there, I SWEAR I never gave Curt any coffee... By the way, why does Kurt spell his name with K instead of C like normal people? Ooops, guess I answered my own question!
P.S. Twinkle Twinkle needs to go on the setlist...

Mat D & The Profane Saints are cooler than a smoking ass monkey in a meat chair.
Just being at the Phoenix last night and seeing you guys got me pulled over by the PO-LICE in Harrisburg... I told him if he didn't let me go with just a warning that the whole band would come out and kick his butt! He went over there looking for you guys, don't know if he found you or not.

Mat, I've been following you and your band since the nights you were playing in the window at Sweet Fanny's. You've got the best lyrics of anyone doing live music these days. Can't wait to hear the Plank Road CD. The swamps of Mississippi were once full of plank roads, it was how you got the timber out in the rainy season and how the oil drillers got to their rigs. Your music always hits-home for me.

I see the 6-fingered man is back on guitar where he belongs, but you couldn't find anyone better than Birch to play bass? C'mon, really? I suppose if you have to follow that hack Deignan around his tempo changes than that probably makes sense. See you clowns at Awesome biker nights! Can't wait...

Okay, okay. You freaking did it guys! I cannot believe how well you brought it at the Chestefeld a few weeks back. Holy shit. Hands down one of the best raw energy I've seen in YEARS! Kicked the shit out of what you did in Sioux Falls with Coe. HELL YES. New bass player is the FUCKING MAN. As my old freind Mojo always says "Kooler than a witches titty in a steel bra" GO SAINTS!!! Keep playing like that and you boys are bound to make it big.

I saw you kick it off for DAC. Best singer plus solid drummer and AWESOME guitar player really drove the music home. While the low end stayed pretty loose and muddy which I can only guess is what Denny and Missy are refferring to you guys fucking ROCKED. Bar none best local act I've seen in a decade or more. Not quite country, not quite southern rock but something new and LOUD. Going to bring a crowd to your next Sioux Falls show for sure. CD hasn't left my stereo since I bought it. Matt and co. KEEPIT UP!
Denny
April 15, 2010
Nice work at the Coe show boys. Caught you with Rev. Horton Heat a year or two back I agree with Missy we thought you sounded better with the Rev. but it was one hell of a good time. We'll be sure will catch you sometime soon, sad to hear Harrisburg was cancelled. We'll be watching for ya.

Saw MDPS at the Chesterfield last night for the first time. Am I damn sorry I never heard them sooner!
This band will WRING YOU OUT (hey, the next CD title?) and spend 10 cents worth of your sanity nickle. There was no ratcheting up for Mat & the Saints last night… oh no… they popped the clutch from the start and layed down a rubber road through a valley of bramble covered goodness.
Tight like new shoes, every note drives home like a machine gun in a tunnel…it never misses.
Do yourself a favor and when Mat d. & the Profane Saints are playing, get your hide to whatever joint they’re in and get jumpin’. At the end of the night if you don’t feel more alive than dead, you might wanna check your pulse.
Jeff
December 13, 2009
Heard you for the first time in my life last night at the June E. Nylen Cancer Benefit show at the Chesterfield and I can say without reservation that I am now a fan for life. The last 15 years of my life were spent living in Atlanta, seeing about every artist possible in most of the clubs in that town but last night was the first time I ever felt like I was smacked upside the head with a musical 2x4.
Just damn...

Matt, It was great fun doing the music club gig witcha. Love the disc, too.I bet the baby gets cuter each day (she doesn't look like you, does she? har-de-har). Check out jake shimabukura at central park doing while my guitar gently weeps and then his other live stuff (the g thing ?)on youtube. You will probably want to a. practice or b. cut off your fingers, at least that was my reaction. Maybe you already know about him but he is a mindblower. Also when you have about a hour watch the twelve part one world, one voice video that is posted on there. best of luck to you, t

I remember when I first heard Waylon Jennings in my younger days and the sound spoke to me. It's been over thirty years since, a lot of live, love , tears and triumphs but your music speaks to me like his did so long ago. Best of luck to all four of you. Continue the journey.

Goosebumps. Chills. I caught your music on the sixty one and had to hear more. Dead in New Orleans? My new favorite song of all time.

Counting the days til the album goes live on iTunes boys. Great work from what I've heard. Nice write up on Hickory Wind. From what I've listened to Jimbo in Arizona is dead-on. Do you guys tour at all? It would be great to see y'all down south sometime Oklahoma City for me. Anyhow, bottoms up Profane Saints. This Oklahoma girl is in LOVE with your music. Rock on!

I attended the CD release show and was blown away. It's nice to see some top shelf musicians kick some ass on stage. I've been hooked ever since Ross n Rey spun your tunes on the airwaves and the whole record is killer from beginning to end. Keep up the good work Saints. I've got you on heavy rotation in the pick-up.

Matt, you have one of the most incredible rock n roll voices I have ever heard. A marriage of gravel and honey. Bad enough for an all nighter and sweet enough take home to momma. I'm in love with the new CD. So glad to have caught the show in Aberdeen. Come back to South Dakota soon! We miss you!
Ain't my first rodeo

I've been around awhile and seldom have I seen a band like Mat D and The Profane Saints come in and kick some serious ass like they did on July 17th at The Sioux City Music Club. Mat stuck his chin out and dared the crowd to take a shot, the band kicked in and it was a FANTASTIC 2+ hours - you guys delivered! Amen, bro.
