Matt & Kim perform "No More Long Years"

Not enough people stage-dive anymore, but Brooklyn duo Matt & Kim are bringing back the lost art in full force. Less than a few minutes into their dance-filled sets limbs are flying everywhere as this party band turns out song after song. The recent release of their self-titled album has kept them busy and they shine brightest in their live shows, a result of the practice they’ve gotten playing at house parties up and down the east coast. They still sleep on couches and tour in an Astro van, motivated by the energy of audiences going crazy for them every time they perform. So crazy in fact, they have coined the term, “bang-over” to properly describe aftereffects of the crowds’ headbanging. Matt & Kim play and party hard, a perfect combination for their Monday (May 7) show at Mohawk Place at 7pm. Just be sure not to forget the Advil for your hard-earned “bang-over” Tuesday morning
