Bleeding Audio the music documentary Audience Winner for last year is also making a return this year for an in-person screening to bring in lots of fans of the 1990's band "The Matches". In addition weeks apart, Slamdance is showcasing their film at an outside screening September 24th at Joshua Tree with the band playing after a long hiatus apart.
Like many acts in the early 2000s, The Matches were set to be the next 'big thing'. After building a tight-knit music community in the Bay Area, they broke out and became an internationally touring act. An eclectic group of artistic weirdos, the band grew a thriving cult fanbase worldwide. For nearly a decade, The Matches toured mercilessly, but couldn't seem to return with more than a few hundred dollars. Between exhaustion and defeat, the band dissolved in 2009. In 2014, they decided to humbly reunite for what started as a small local show in San Francisco. Bleeding Audio is a portrait of how bands navigate the digitizing industry, told through the unique lens of The Matches' career.
