Amazng show last night...big ravenous MATADORS crowd... great to see a lot of old frieds again.

Sick boy killed on bass neil devaraux on the trap kit did an outstanding job... I was absolutly stellar AGAIN and AS ALWAYS...
Thanks to Wreckin pete, ben rispin, orbax, sweet pepper and john tard for being there last night and although from about 2:30 am to noon today is a little foggy... am told that these individuals showed me an amazing time...

Also, MASSIVE thanks to Micheal Rigby... who not only knows how to throw a killer shindig but is an all aroudn good guy. I will personally put in a word to lucifer to be merciful upon your soul Riggs...

Now, there has been some speculation that THE MATADORS are packing it in. I want to make myself perfectly clear on this issue specifically and get rid of this rumour once and for all...


THE MATADORS WILL CONTINUE ON...

Now, over the years you may have noticed some personel changes, and i expect (given the fact that there has been 47 drummers, 2 bass, players, 3 keboard players and 2 singers) there will be SOME changes that way now and again... But, I am not going anywhere. I, who have written every song as comunicated to me by lucifer since the inception of this band...I, Hooch aka the creative genius of THE MATADORS....im not leaving or quitting or taking a break or even slowing down. I remain committed to Lucifer, to THE MATADORS and most importantly to MATADORS FANS.
THE MATADORS is not a part-time endeavour for me nor has it ever been, it is what i do...it is what i have always done and i wil continue to bring fans the high quality show you have some to expect from THE MATADORS.
That's it folks, that is my commitment... however far apart shows may seem be assured that THE MATADORS are still producing...and still going.
A new record is nearly complete and I look forward to coming your town, drinking your booze and having carnal relations with your girlfriends and your mothers again... I hope they have sufficently healed from the last time i was there...

Onward motherfuckers and lucifarian solidiers...
In some other exciting news... the new website is about to come online that will finally answer all your merch needs and your questions about The Lucifarian Brotherhood...now that it is 2008 they are ready to accept actual members...
Stay tuned.

updated bio

THE MATADORS ARE:

Hooch (vox/guitars)
somebody on bass
Westman(drums)


Creators of the HORRORBILLY genre, masters of balls out rock, foremost motherfuckers in their own right THE MATADORS have been destroying stages and the minds of the youth since the mid 90s with their brand of Lucifer driven,booze fueled hate rock.

No band has ever come close to THE MATADORS is terms of live show and performance and no band has ever assembled demon possessed musicians with such raw and unfathomable talent before. Seeing THE MATADORS live is like being in a fun house that has been set on fire,like being trapped in a womens prison on a full moon, and be prepared and bring a change of pants because you will shit the pants you bring to the show.

THE MATADORS are the type of band that blows through your town and then the next day 100 bands pop that want to be just like them... THE MATADORS are the most influential band of their generation like he Ramones in their era and the Velvet Underground in theirs generations of kids will moved by the awesome force that is MATADORS for as long as there is recorded music and ears to fucking hear it....

THE MATADORS created the genre HORRORBILLY only to remain the top in that field and all others. There are a few bands that claim to BE horrorbilly but upon closer inspection you will find that not only are those bands total poser hairdressers but that these other bands are actually just tribute bands made up of Matadors worshipers, that they are nothing more then a waste of the fans time doing little more then cashing in on what THE MATADORS invented!!


Nonetheless, be not fooled be these bands....as THE MATADORS are the genuine article.


Since selling their souls to Lucifer in 1995 in exchange for super human prowess on their instruments on supreme omnipotence over their audience they have been unstoppable no matter how badly they have been stabbed in the back by their "friends" in bands or supremely fucked over by their former record company.


" ...One night in 1999 Parkins was approached by what he describes as "a ghoulish figure in a black hood....or something" This sounded like a fair deal to Parkins so he pitched it to the other Matadors. They agreed that the deal was in their favor and set about to cement the deal. Instantly the audiences were in a frenzy, drinking inhuman amounts with complete disregard for tomorrow. Once the band began with the new Lucifarian music, onlookers could not help but spend their entire paychecks in a single evening of lewd wanton depravity.


As time went on, The Matadors became more and more powerful as they added more Lucifarian music to their repertoire eventually the performances became so intense that some "members" of the band became afraid of the power and evil that followed them to every show.


These cowardly "members" were allowed out of their contract with the brotherhood and went on to die listless and alone OR WORSE to join REALLY shitty prog-folk bands that run around calling themselves rockabilly in attempts however feeble and futile to include themselves in THE MATADORS continued greatness.


Each of these "members" to THIS day includes on every single one of their advertisements for their own bands the following boastful words:

"FEATURING MEMBERS OF THE MATADORS"


Why?.. I'll tell you why... The Subtext is saying this

" I was once part of something awesome and powerful but i lacked the testicles to carry on with it but, in order to establish creditability in this genre....even though I'm a complete fraud and have no claim it and even though when i WAS involved in THE MATADORS i never even wrote one note of any song,not did i come up with one word or concept,even though i i basically just showed up played my bland,shallow,boring and flavorless parts...i want you to know that i was at the very least present and part of that awesome thing...and sadly I feel the desperate NEED to claim a piece of it as my own... Even though clearly I lack the intelligence and talent to make such a claim that i was a part of creative side of The Matadors...The fact is, by saying these things, I KNOW I am admitting that i will never measure up in my future endeavors so I'm left to to cling to The Matadors with white knuckles...please pity me "


Yes folks it IS pathetic, it smacks of that same kind of contemptible sadness of an old man who was once a great quarterback in High school cramming himself into his old jersey and posing in front of the mirror...
But, please...they do not deserve your hatred, nor do they desire your disgust, even though they have clearly incited these feelings inside you. Do not fault them for their lack of a dental intervention or their choice to expose their strange nipples in public, do not fault them for their use of jeri-curl... I don't even think its worth busting their balls on the fact that they have falsified their place of birth in order to gain an identity that they felt better included them into THE MATADORS...


They deserve your charity, your sympathy and your pity...So dig deep within yourself and see if you can't find these things in your heart...


What these extremely desperate ex-"members" fail to realize is that by using The Matadors in this way they are only placing themselves in the shadow of THE MATADORS... and that shadow is a dark and limitless abyss indeed...and they will remain there until they stop ripping THE MATADORS off
and generate some original ideas on their own...




The reality is: THE MATADORS continue to make amazing records and tour and put on amazing shows...
THE MATADORS continue on 5 albums later and one on the way this year..
watch out for it
