Match Party is a band based out of New Jersey/NYC Metropolitan Area. The band consists of three members: Adrian Spoleti (Guitar, Lead Vocals), Shawn Corby (Drums), and Aris Staikos (Bass, Back-up Vocals). The concept has been in existence since 1993, when founder, Adrian Spoleti, asked a friend of his, Steve Petras, who also was the bass player for I.D.K. at the time, to form Match Party. The name for the band came out of a newspaper article depicting how orphans and families wanting to adopt children would come together in casual gatherings, coining the phrase Match Parties.
