"Dougie Bowne is a producer, drummer, electric guitarist, and composer of remarkable versatility. An early member of the New York Downtown scene, he has worked with John Cale, Iggy Pop, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Yoko Ono, Laurie Anderson, The Lounge Lizards, Cassandra Wilson, Jack Bruce, Marianne Faithful, Cibo Matto, and many, many others.
Here he uses all of his formidable talents to create a bass, drum/guitar duo recording unlike anything you have ever experienced. Intense and hypnotic, this is an unusual presentation of improvisationally based music at its very best, and one of the most unique and edgy projects Dougie has ever created. Fabulous!"-TzdikArtist Biographies

Described as "one of the more unpredictable virtuosos in New York's underground" by Pitchfork, and "genre-bending" by Tiny Mix Tapes, his output often lies in the gray corners beyond categorization. Upon graduating from the Oberlin Conservatory, where he studied with Gary Bartz and Paul Cohen, Matt moved back to his native Bay Area where he became an active member of the music community. He performed regularly with several bands, among them experimental pop outfit tUnE-yArDs, with whom he recorded and toured extensively in support of their acclaimed album w h o k i l l. In 2010 Matt relocated to Brooklyn, New York. During his time there he has performed and toured as a member of Battle Trance, GRID, Elder Ones, Premature Burial, Skeletons, and the Weasel Walter Large Ensemble. He also performs as a solo act, where he often utilizes electronics and amplified feedback along with his saxophone, as heard on his record Lower Bottoms. " ^ Hide Bio for Matt Nelson
