Hands and Red Paint, Let’s Make A Mark

The magic of a Matt and Kim show is contained in that one moment where everyone is completely free and everyone is the same. M & K bring all walks of life together, no longer conflicting, no longer competing; just leaving Good for Great.

This high energy duo is riding the crest of their music career on their Sidewalks tour, delivering the show their audience craves. No, the set is not always fresh and varied – it is a repeat of lap dances, boob jokes, connotations, and the pair professing their love to the crowd. But that is what we want. We want to hear their covers, we want to be turned on, and we want to see Matt and Kim in all their gleeful Caucasian glory.

Matt and Kim first caught attention in 2008, during the making of their Lessons Learned video, in which they appeared naked in Times Square. Provocative, shameless, possibly genius. With the sound of a classic arcade game, there is a promising future ahead of this spectacular, eclectic band. They are not average and they’re not faking it either. Yep, they sound like confused Miss Pac Man or Galaga tunes and look like a couple of excitable high schoolers. They’re lucky to not get beat up regularly (Matt admits he’s only been punched by Kim) in the slums they call home, let alone a different city slum every night. Ironically, it is just the opposite. They are adored and, in turn, they are loving every second of their success, more specifically, their following.

Matt and Kim fans just want to be humored with Matt’s Brooklyn tales “every step I took and street I’ve walked” and aroused with Kim’s sass. Their fans want the package deal and are satisfied every time.

 

And just as the night comes to a close, the tempting synth and rumbling drum leads into Cameras. The room packed full of strangers lights up, lets go, and embraces what M & K hope to be a summer anthem. By the end of the show, I have to admit, I saw flashes of gold.
