Trilambs

Matt was a member of the satirical hip-hop group The Trilambs, performing under the name 'Matty Boom.' The group took a sideways look at the excessive world of rap culture, mocking the glorification of materialism, misogyny and homophobia.<ref>http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/music/1502506.stm</ref>

Matt as 'Matty Boom', with the rest of the Trilambs.

Their only album, entitled 'It Wasn't Not Funny', was released in 2001; as of March 2008 it ranks 132,058th in the Amazon.com Music Sales chart.<ref>http://www.amazon.com/Wasnt-Not-Funny-Trilambs/dp/B000AQNEXE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1205953590&sr=8-1</ref>

One of their songs, catalina, can be heard on this MySpace page.

The group was discovered and promoted by Oly Obst, who would go on to produce Matt's film, This Side of the Truth.<ref>http://www.pitzer.edu/offices/public_relations/publications/pitzer_press/archive/20010927/page19.html</ref>
