Matthew Good In-depth Biography
The Vancouver, Canada, group called the MGB, or the Matthew Good Band, formed in 1995 and quickly began stirring things up in the Canadian world of music. By 2000, they were further set to do a little stirring in the United States. The band walked away with a number of awards and nominations over the years, such as Best Male Vocalist, Best Live Performance, Artists of the Year, Best Group, Best Album, Best Video, Best Single, and more. The group's list of hits is growing just as fast. Members of the MGB are frontman Matthew Good as vocalist and guitarist, Dave Genn on keyboards and guitar, Ian Browne as drummer and percussionist, and Rich Priske as bassist.

When Matthew Good first formed the MGB, it was kind of by accident. He was recording a few songs he had written and called some musician friends together to help out. The name Matthew Good Band was just something he came up with, something he meant to use for a while until he could think up a better name. Fate happened to step in and take over. That first album, Last of the Ghetto Astronauts, an independent release, did better than any of them ever dreamed. It even earned the MGB Most Played New Artists for 1996. In 1997, a sophomore album, Underdogs, was recorded in Canada under the Darktown Records/A&M label. "Hello Time Bomb" was the first single released to the United States audience. It landed on the Billboard charts almost instantly. The single was followed in 1999 by another album, the accomplished Beautiful Midnight, completed on the Atlantic Records label. It was released in Canada first, debuting at number one on the Soundscan chart there, going double platinum, and then hitting the States for January 2000. Some of the other tracks from this first full-length offering to cross the border are "I Miss New Wave," "A Boy and His Machine Gun," "Running for Home," "Let's Get It On," "Failing the Rorschach Test," and "Strange Days." The Matthew Good Band released another album together, 2002's The Audio of Being, before Good began issuing material under just his name, beginning with 2003's Avalanche. His White Light Rock & Roll Review followed a year later, with the compilation release In a Coma: 1995-2005 appearing in the fall of 2005. ~

After reading this story in The Province today, I wanted to stand up and yell "HALA FREAKIN LOO YA"........

Bout time someone is finally getting pissed at the kids!!!!!

Grieving father takes son's tale, urn to school

Greg Drew tells kids they aren't indestructible
Kent Spencer, The Province
Published: Wednesday, May 09, 2007

A Langley father who speaks about the horrors of car crashes is being allowed to tell his message to students after years of being shunned.

Greg Drew said he still breaks down and cries over the death of his son, Jay, four years ago.

That is the message he wants to give to high-spirited teenagers celebrating the end of school.

"Jay's death is just like it happened yesterday. It doesn't get any easier," Drew said yesterday.

The 49-year-old Surrey fire captain calls himself "Captain Angry." He's rough around the edges.

He is not allowed to speak to Langley schools because of a run-in with an employee. And ICBC rules say approved RoadSense speakers must have an "appropriate style."

Drew is in-your-face. In the past he has cussed, but he knows that had to cease if the word was to spread.

"Everything is sugar-coated for kids these days, except me," he said. "I'm a pretty passionate guy. I come out sounding pissed off."

The door is opening for Drew at some Lower Mainland schools.

He spoke at Fleetwood Park in Surrey yesterday and is scheduled at Centennial in Coquitlam today.

"His talk was captivating," said Fleetwood vice-principal Mike Stickley. "Grade 11s are a tough sell. They were dead silent.

"He is raw and compelling. A tough-love guy who wears his emotions on his sleeve -- and the kids feel it. He is not a professional speaker, but it is better that way.

"We took a chance. We thought his story needed to be told. I haven't seen a speaker make that kind of impact. He touched a lot of kids," said Stickley.

The mangled wreck of Jay's car is still at Drew's Fort Langley home, complete with a running shoe wedged beneath the gas pedal.

Jay's death in Langley at 17 was blamed on street racing and the "Superman syndrome" of feeling indestructible.

"You don't get 10 lives. You get one," Drew tells his audiences. "There is a thing out there called consequences."

The urn with Jay's ashes is brought out for shock value.

"I've had 40 to 50 kids bawling their eyes out," Drew said.

Last year, he spoke to schools in Cranbrook, Kimberley and Fernie. He would like to spread the word full time.

He hopes more schools will allow him to present his graphic and horrifying message. It would include showing the wrecked car.

"If I can get a kid to think differently, I'm a success," he said.
