A Brief history from our friends at YouTube....
Matt and Kim is an indie rock duo residing in Brooklyn, New
York, formed in 2004 by Matt Johnson (vocals/keyboards) and Kim Schifino
(drums/vocals). The two met while attending the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn and
started playing local warehouse shows in Brooklyn. Their simple, dance style
rhythms and energetic performances have gained them a substantial local
following and a formidable online presence through social networking and media
sites like YouTube and MySpace. The group released their first full-length,
self-titled CD on record label and media group "Iheartcomix", in
October, 2006. Matt & Kim played at the Siren Music Festival, a free music
concert held in Brooklyn, on Coney Island, and at Chicago's Lollapalooza in
2007. They have appeared on MTV2 as program hosts. Their music video for
"Yea, Yeah" has also been shown on the station, and the video for
"5K" has been shown on MTV Europe but was said to be too violent for
the US. Their second album Grand was released on January 20, 2009 on Fader
Label. They have a DIY attitude towards their music. They also have a
wide-ranging musical taste, including top 40 hip hop. They will be performing
at the Pitchfork Music Festival in Chicago this year. Recently, their hit song
"Daylight" was featured in a Bacardi commercial.
