Moving Matter, the enigmatic Austin, TX-based rock and jam outfit,  recently released their 3rd full length album on Outcasters Records.  "Live at Grego's" is a 2-disc showcase of the band's raw, live power, unmatched improvisation, and noteworthy songwriting abilities. Since completing their 4-piece lineup with keyboardist Dustin Bozarth in 2007, the band has developed into a high-caliber live show supported by a growing and loyal grass-roots following.  A rabid fan-base has been built show by show, on the strength of buzz-worthy performances such as Wakarusa 08, Camp Bisco, and Austin's SXSW Music Fest. Since relocating to the musical mecca of Austin from Ft. Collins, CO in 2003, the band has steadily progressed, continuing to hone its high-energy "quantum rock", and frequently garnering praise and comparisons to such acts as Sound Tribe Sector 9, Phish, moe., and Primus. Bassist Christopher Holland and guitarist Josh Pearson share most of the song-writing duties, while drummer Dan Mcgreevy captains the ship with his rock-steady beats.  Bozarth on keys has rounded out the sound with psychedelic synth textures and a bed of vintage keyboard sounds that help to bolster the high-flying guitar of Pearson.It is undoubtedly late at night, under the lights and in the smoky bars where Moving Matter creates its magic.  Swimming the uncharted waters of live improvisation, the band has a knack for creating powerful music that is undeniably in tune with the present moment and teeming with the energy of those who bear witness from the audience.  At their shows, its not uncommon to see the band rock into the wee hours, long past last call, as crowds refuse to let the party end and bar managers get sucked into whirling sounds and good vibes of the band. Moving Matter has shared the stage with such artists as The Disco Biscuits, The Roots, Thievery Corporation, Sound Tribe Sector Nine, Tea Leaf Green, EOTO, Perpetual Groove, Les Claypool, Little Feat, Particle, Tony Furtado, Brothers Past, and Big Head Todd & the Monsters. MM has rocked stages such as The Fox Theatre, Aggie Theater and Mishiwaka Amphitheatre in Colorado, Antone's and Stubb’s BBQ in Austin, and the Granada Theater in Dallas.
