The Suitcase Junket

Acoustic, Solo

This band was born out of a desire to make one person sound like many.
No loops or effects, just one person contorting himself into a full sounding ball of music.
Sitting on an old accordion case and using it as a bass drum played with the right heel, Matt started playing this old junker parlor guitar that was pulled out of a dumpster. A gas-can with a baby-shoe kick pedal was added (baby shoe is for tone), then a hi-hat, a washboard and a voice. Lorenz began piecing together rhythms and song ideas and eventually started working in some of the overtone singing that he’d been practicing in the car for a few years. The rhythm section has grown over time to include a circular saw blade and a cook-pot adorned with a soup-can-bottle-cap tambourine. Matt recently upgraded to a larger suitcase as well, which is not only better sounding, but fits most of the drums inside it as well.

He writes good songs and aims to sing them honestly.
