Gemini's Many Sides by Matt Seaberg

" SCENE

* "...a coiling rollercoaster ride in a musical theme park...unpredictable and exceptionally individual...draws parallels with an early Ben Harper. 'Til London beats 95% of what's on radio. Trainwreck in Slow Motion could have easily been sung by Neil Finn and a huge hit." FORTE

* "Matt's voice borders on a Bernard Fanning sound." ROCKSTAR MAGAZINE

"Matt has certainly captured the sounds and the feel of the magic that is Byron...an album that is unpredictable and captivating." TSUNAMI

**********************************************************

Matt possesses a plethora of vocal styles and has of smorgasbord of influences. Some people can hear Chili Peppers and Zappa, others hear Buckley or Led Zepplin, or Neil Finn and The Beatles, or Jamiroquai and Dave Matthews.

Yet, the album has a continuity and captivating sound that pervades all its tracks.

Geminis are renowned for changing colours like charmeleons. Similarly, GEMINI'S MANY SIDES shifts, morphs and fuses genres (from funk, rock, ballads, groove, blues and world music) as it follows a story from heartbreak, self-destruction and despair, to self-belief, healing and joy, to arrive at new love.

TRACK 2, GETTIN’ IT ON, AND TRACK 9, ‘TIL LONDON

ARE THE SINGLES TO LISTEN OUT FOR.

SO WHAT’S WITH THE RUBIK’S CUBE?

The cube represents the mind puzzle we are challenged with

everyday (i.e. reality vs. dreams, head vs. heart, morality vs. desire, self-preservation vs. philanthropy).

On stage, Matt is unpredictable. Sometimes a placid puppy

content to perform tricks, other times he prowls like a caged tiger. I’ve seen him croon a sweet song revealing great sensitivity and fragility. An hushed audience then responds in transfixed awe. Suddenly Matt’s rocking out and screaming like a banshee.

He’s so at home on stage that nothing throws him. I’ve witnessed him cut hecklers in half with comebacks that could stump professional comedians (I’ve seen him do that too!).

Matt wields his poetry and humour like a doctor uses surgical equipment. He can heal pain or at least anaesthetise it. He can dissect you or himself cleanly, or savagely cut to the quick. Sometimes he’ll just tickle your

funny bone.

He runs a gamut of emotions with his rollercoaster performances. Every emotional response, every corner, dip and bend on the rollercoaster ride, is a turn of the puzzle. Solving the cube is like completing a major transition in your life.

WHAT NOW FOR MATT SEABERG?

With radioplay on JJJ (Australian national broadcaster), ZZZ (Brisbane), FBi (Sydney), RRR (Melbourne), and PBS (Melbounre) ranking the album no.5 in their Top 10 New Releases, Matt's momentum is gathering.

He’s also developing relationships with festival organisers so he can bring his music to larger audiences on the festival circuit in Australia and internationally.

I witnessed Matt at Bluesfest 2006 in Byron Bay, Australia. UNBELIEVABLE! Security wouldn’t dare stop him. The press wouldn’t leave him alone. He owned the VIP lounge.

Maybe it was because he was Dave Gray’s drinking buddy or was asked to join the Marley band for a relaxing smoke. Could it have been that he managed to talk a the media entourage including Andrew Denton, George Negus, press and radio personalities without getting interrupted? Or was it that he was dancing in a clapping-circle at the afterparty which included Michael Franti and Moses O’Jah? Nah, it was the fact he did it all wearing a tuxedo with snorkel, mask and flippers!

I’m convinced, Matt Seaberg is a fledgling star and, love him or hate him, there’s little you and I can do to stop him.
