End Result Band

New Beginning

2008-09-09T08:25:00.000-07:00

hey, hey...

So, it's been a little while! Sorry about that...

it's safe to say that I've been supercrazybusy these last few months with packing, moving, unpacking, getting married (!!!!!), going honeymooning, unpacking, working, and school.

all the while, the music never stopped. I'm actually in the middle of working on an EP. My plan is to write & record 5 songs in 7 days. So far, I've finished one song and I'm 2 days into the "experiment". This was inspired by one of my favorite artists, Damien Rice, who set out on the road from Dublin to Barcelona with the goal of writing and recording a song a day for 10 days and turning it into his next album. He's a bit more ambitious and talented than I am, so I scaled it back a bit. In any case, the 1st song, "Man from the mountain", is just about done & I'm already taking mental notes for the next song. This EP will be available for purchase eventually--and I'll let you know.

Some sad news....

End Result has come to an..well....End. No---we didn't have a huge fight or anything. It just happened. Life happened. James & his family moved back to Little Rock for a better life. We all miss his dry wit and quick solos and sense of humor. But he's doing well. When this started happening, the wheels just kind of stopped moving. The recording was paused, but we were still able to finish/master 9 songs, which is great. Ross is forming his own sound as I type this---he has a wealth of musical ability and there's no doubt that he'll do something truly amazing with it. Marc is great---they're expecting another child soon & he has been a rock of sorts for me in my life's transitions.

We had an awesome run---and a lot of fun & memories to take from the whole experience. I think our band was good. Not to sound snobby, but I really liked what we were doing and the direction that we took. We were around for almost 2 years and we played as much as we could. I know that it opened my eyes and helped me to become a better songwriter and a better person.

With that being said---
I'm still writing all the time. I'm still listening to music & words all the time. It never stops--and for that, I am grateful. I'll keep this thing going....I've already posted 2 new songs--"My, My" and "Coffee Black"--and will keep you posted & keep the music coming.

I just need to find an outlet for this music in Waco. It's not really a "music town". But...Austin is right down the road. Wow...this ended up being MUCH longer than I thought it would be.

Before I go, (and on behalf of the other 3/4 of End Result) I just want to say THANK YOU. Thank you for your love, support & encouragement over the last 2 years. A very special thank you to our wives & families...you helped us as we went on a very fun & amazing ride.

WE'D LIKE TO THANK:
Coffee Retreat, Rockstarz Patio, All Star, Babe's Sports Bar & Grill, Bruff's, Cafe Soleil, Fitzgerald's and especially MOJO RISIN. Also these fine folks that helped us along the way in one way or another: Mark, Robbie, Archie, Carl & Rob for roadtrippin', Erika, Jack & Terri, Jennifer, Alicia, Mari, Stephanie, Laurel, Tess, Mike, and Maura & Jake for the awesome website.

I'd Like to thank James, Ross & Marc. I had a blast and won't soon forget.

Ok---enough sappy stuff. I have to get back to writing. Take care & see you soon---

Matt

hey there...

it's safe to say that it has been a LONG time since any of us posted on here. there are a few reasons for this, but the main reason is life. we've all been so incredibly busy with various things and i apologize for keeping you all out of the loop. i was made aware of this via an anonymous email asking me what was going on with the band and where is the record that we've been working on??

well, all is well with the band and we're still working on the record. our hope was to have the album completely finished by the end of the summer, but our hectic schedules prevented this from happening. now we're hoping that it will be recorded, mixed & mastered by the end of the year. we are about 3/4 of the way done with it. hopefully, we'll be able to play some shows along the way and be able to play many more shows next year before my fiance & i move to waco in August 2008. we still plan on playing shows/jamming everytime i'm in town visiting...but the shows will be much less frequent. on a side note, i've been writing like mad lately and have posted several of these solo acoustic songs online. (the links are at the bottom of this post) anyway, all is well...life is good and we're trying to get this project done as fast as possible. i hope this post answers some of those questions fo ya and i'll make a conscious effort to post here at least once every 2 weeks or so!!! once again, we'd like to sincerely thank Jake & Maura for building this site and for being part of our core support system! :) thanks, guys....

more news to come...

rumors, rumors
Current mood: busy

hey, hey...

i've recieved a few emails/messages from people asking me if i was planning on quitting the band due to my upcoming solo set at mojo risin. this is NOT TRUE at all. the simple truth is this:

i write/have wriiten a lot of songs that don't quite fit within the band. these songs are usually acoustic and a bit slower than the bands' sound. i approached jack (mojo owner) awhile ago and asked him to keep me in mind if they ever needed an opener or if someone had to concel last minute. the fact is that i just love playing music for people---whether it's with the rest of end result or by myself. so, he contacted me and asked me if i'd like to open for a great singer/songwriter from boulder, cait shanahan---and i said yes. like i said, i have a lot of ideas that don't really fit within the framework of the band, and i thought this show would be a great opportunity to play some of those tunes that i've been working on for the last few weeks in my bedroom.

i love playing with the band. our schedules have been super-busy lately, but we are all anxious and excited to finish the record and start playing shows again very soon. then after that, we'll start working on new ideas. playing a solo acoustic show is completely different from playing with the band. this is what i've done for most of my musical life and i'm sincerely looking forward to the June 19th show for that reason. it's an old habit that i don't want to break, i guess. and the rest of the guys are very supportive---they know that it's good for me (and the band) to do this for my own creative process. matter of fact, i think all of them will be in attendance throwing tomatoes at me!

so there you have it---all is well with the band. i write a lot. some stuff doesnt fit within the band so i play it by myself. thanks for reading and i hope this answers everyones question.

happy wednesdays to all...

my writing process

2007-05-15T12:03:00.000-07:00

hey, hey…

When I opened my inbox this morning, there was an interesting message from a friend of mine that I've known for about 6-7 years. They've seen me play since I first gathered up enough courage to take the stage in Emporia and Lawrence. They wanted to know how I came up with my lyrics/song ideas. Well, I have about 20 minutes left on my lunch break—so I figured I'd try to answer it.

Writing is an escape for me. It's a way for me to step outside of myself and peek down at my life and surroundings. I've loved to write since I was little kid. When I started playing music, I felt I finally had the means to shape and mold those words into something tangible, identifiable and real to me.

As far as the process goes, it can happen in one of 3 ways for me. Sometimes I have the melody or music already in my head and then I write. At other times, I write the words and try to wrap the music around them. What's really rare for me is when the music and lyrics come all at once and the song completes itself immediately even though I just wrote it. When that happens, it blows me away.

People have often asked me how I can write such dark lyrics when I seem so happy and content with my life. I think I can because when I get to that place outside of myself, there are no boundaries at all. Nothing is taboo. Nothing is off-limits. Also, my life isn't always "happy". Just like everyone else, I have had tough times. But I can use those tough experiences in my writing. Some songs are personal and true to me, others are based on an idea or observation and other fall into the "What If" category—if I, someone I know or a complete stranger were placed in this situation, what would be the result or reaction? When I walk down this path of uncertainty in my writing, it forces me to be open and vulnerable.

So I guess my long-winded answer to my friends question can be summed up like this: I try to stay aware-------of everything I think, feel, hear, see and believe. By doing this, it allows me to be open and receptive to these thoughts and ideas as they race through my mind. Also, I try to get everything out. I write until the thought/idea feels complete. I may change it a bit here and there, leave it as is or set it aside for another day. But when that instant strikes and I step outside of myself, that's when I put it down on paper.

thanks for reading/listening.

see ya—

matt

GREETINGS & SALUTATIONS

2007-05-14T08:26:00.000-07:00

hey, hey...

it's been a little while, so i thought i'd update everyone on what's going on with the band and the album. we have 5 songs that are (or almost) completed. they are: FREE, IN ON ME, SEE YOU AGAIN, PLEASE and THROUGH INFINITY. we had an awesome rehearsal on saturday. we jammed for a couple of hours, took a little break and then worked on 4 new song ideas. one of which features Ross on guitar and myself on bass. his "untitled" song has a completely different groove to it, and i'm really looking forward to getting that one down just right so we can start playing it live. maura (my sister) is working hard on the artwork for the album and we're all anxious to see her ideas in the next few weeks. if you want to view some of her other artwork, check out her new and improved website at http://www.frag-ment-ed.com/. our plan is to lay down the groundwork on 2 more songs this sunday. we'll work on those for a couple of weeks to get them just right, and then start on the next 2 songs. the songs we're recording this weekend are "THIN" and "VICTORY SONG". so that's it for now...

our goal is to be finished with the record by late July/early August. by that, i mean every aspect of the record. the music, artwork, production, promotion, etc, etc....it should be a fun year! we won't be playing live for awhile so we can concentrate on finishing the record. but if any dates pop up, we'll be sure to let you know. i suppose i should get back to work now.....

have a good one and i'll see ya around....

2006 wrap-up

2006-12-20T10:54:00.000-08:00

hey there--well, it's really crazy to look back on this past year for the band. we've seen a lot of changes. it's crazy for me to think that mark and i started the band about a year and a half ago...it's really flown by! in the last year we've...

-changed/added the band lineup 4 times. it all started when we parted ways with our old bassist and started looking for a new bassist. a few weeks later, we found james--our phenomonal lead guitarist. then we had a period of time there when we palyed a few shows with just the 3 of us. then robbie jumped in on bass to help us out for a bit. then a few weeks later, i asked a buddy from school--ross--to come jam with us. and that's where we are today. we will enter 2007 with no doubts or holes in our lineup and that's an awesome feeling.

-played roughly 25 shows. i was counting all the dvds we have of these shows and i know i'm missing a few, so 25 is my best guess! BIG thanks to all of the local venues for supporting not only us, but all local musicians!! so that's roughly 2 shows a month--which isn't bad at all considering our hectic lives outside of the band!

-written many new songs together--too many to count really. everytime we rehearse it seems like we throw around several new ideas. we have a lot of fun playing music and we hope that shows!! my favorite thing to do is switch instruments and just go for it. those little experiments have spawned many new songs. ("control freak" comes to mind)

-started recording!! although our free studio time fell through, we have perservered and will finish recording our FULL-LENGTH record in early 2007. it was originally going to be a 6 song demo, but we decided that if we're the ones doing it, let's do it right and out out a full album! i know....a bit ambitious, but we like to push ourselves.-found a rehearsal house! it still needs some work, but it's getting there!! and we'll be having a nice little show/party/bbq in the very near future.

-built a new website! BIG, BIG thanks to my sister and brother-in-law for all of their hard work!! we love ya! (the site is www.endresultband.com by the way!)

so i know i'm leaving a bunch of little things out, but it's been an awesome year for us and i think i can speak for the rest of the band by saying THANK YOU!! thanks to friends, family, clubs, neighbors (sorry for the loud music at 2am) and everyone else out there. we appreciate it more than you know!!! cheers for a great 2006 and here's to an even better 2007!! take care and have a great holiday----

hey, hey
so this song is an improv that has turned into one of the bands favorite songs to play. i was strumming the guitar one day about a week or so ago when i stumbled on the main chord progression. next thing you know i was humming out the melody and decided to record it. and that was it--i did some slight overdubbing on the backing vocals and added a 2nd guitar part. i'm working on converting it to mp3 format so i can post it here so everyone can check it out. give me a few days and it should be posted. until then, here are the lyrics. let me know what you think...see ya.....matt

[victory song]
[7.26.2006]
[words/music by matt cluthe]

way beneath the soul lies in the universe--between the eyes and ashes, in the afterbirth--in my time of reasoning, in my time devine--i have found everything that i wanted to find again

in my darkest hour, i will see my soul--to the highest bidder; it doesn't matter who--it doesn't really matter, we gave up long before--anything but nothing could hurt me anymore

i don't, i wait. questioned--to fail. me, i know. you will fade on me.

in my waking life, in my fallen days--i can hold my breath until my skin, it fades--it doesn't really matter, matter much to me--anything but nothing could ever set me free

go off and see the world. don't find--fault in me.

i will walk you down the aisle to your victory song.
dance you down the corridor as long as i come along.
i will walk you down the aisle to your victory song.
and dance you down the corridor as long as i come along.

2006-04-09T10:23:00.000-07:00

hey, hey

we had a great show last night. it was also the debut of our new lead guitarist, james johnson. we rehearsed with him only once----but he fit right in. he added a lot of depth to the songs and his lead work is a lot of fun to listen to. it was a blast. the 3 of us were very relaxed and had a lot of fun--extending some of the songs well past their original endings. more show dates will be posted soon--and thanks for all your support.
until next time--

been a little while...

2006-03-21T22:29:00.000-08:00

hey, hey

hope this finds everyone well. the bass player search is heating up and it looks like we'll be auditioning a potential new member of [end result] this weekend. we'll keep you posted--

in the meantime--just wanted to put it out there that we'll be playing the patio again on 4/8/2006. not sure what our start time will be as of yet--but will post asap. hope to see you all there.

also--i'm doing a little acoustic show w/ an old friend, Travis Hopper, on may 6th at 9pm. the venue is sherlock's @ west grey here in houston. should be a good time. be sure to check out his music at travishopper.com or at myspace.com/travishopper.

mark and i are excited to work on the new songs. his drumtracks really stand out on the song "no name". we should have it down good enough to debut @ the patio on 4/8. we debut all of our songs there, it seems.

that's it for now.
see ya

matt

solid start

2006-03-07T22:37:00.000-08:00

hey, hey--

we had a great rehearsal tonight. we approached some songs for the first time as a duo ("finality", "won't fight"), and polished up more originals and covers. mark's drumming--as always--blew me away. his fills are really, really good...tonight we practiced pearl jam's "smile" and i was really trying to play it to his beat. and once i had it, it changed the whole song. pretty damn cool....
i also played 3 new songs ("no name", "said and done" & "get you far")for him--and he fell right in and added his thoughts and beats. i'm heading up to KS this weekend--can't wait to see everyone!! we'll have some showdates up real soon. thanks for reading and i'll see ya around..

another new idea...

"no name"

the words were written with a slant
taken for purchase-then taken away
it fell to you and the sarcasm ran supreme
as if the words meant nothing--to no one

my old life is a break in a wave
my life is a split in the day

springboard to decent start
stepping loudly on the steps i built
but i am.
so restless tonight and everynight

my whole life is like a break in a wave
it's just a split in the day

the water is so hot
the truth is the opposite
the breath is deep
moment is shallow
i will fly again
only when
the birds give me their blessing
only when..

your life breaks apart in waves
just a split in my day

new song........???

2006-03-01T22:32:00.000-08:00

hey, hey

so there's this song--
been working on it for about a month
hoping we can work it in the set next time we play...
it's pretty mellow and melodic, i think...
enough of that---here are the words.
YOU be the judge.

"said and done"

well--
sweetie...the writing's on your face
all the time that you put in
just send it up in flames
..left reaching again

[chorus]
when the whispers turn to screams
when it's all said and done
the tide will turn................and run

yeah--
you're outside and unblinking
slowly stepping toward today
days when nothing was easy
and everything was saved

[chorus]

send out the dogs
to find a lost soul
the soul that
belonged to you

[chorus]

end.

hope it sounds as good live as it does in my head.
take care

upcoming show/setlist

2006-02-21T23:13:00.000-08:00

hey, hey

mark and i will be playing either this weekend or next weekend @ the patio. we're whittling down our setlist to find the songs that will really suit us as a duo. we had a great rehearsal this past weekend---and mark convinced me to buy a new amp. (i didn't need any persuasion at all)

so all is well and we're anxious to play again very, very soon....we'll let you know.
see ya

website....

2006-02-18T07:53:00.000-08:00

hey there-

my future brother-in-law, jake fowler (with some help from my sister), has been working on our website in the last few weeks. he's come up with some great ideas and it looks like we will be re-launching our hompage sometime very soon! a BIG thank you to both jake and maura for all of their help! more updates will be coming soon...

matt

2006-02-09T23:19:00.000-08:00

mark cole is no longer the bass player for end result. after an amiacable split, we are searching for another bass player. i really wish it would've worked out with him---but we both wish him the best and we thank him for pushing us in a different space. and i think we might add another guitarist to the mix as well. so, it's going to be a bit of a "transition". i received a call from one of the clubs that we've played at today---and they want to book us...soon. i told them if we aren't "set" yet, mark and i will come in and do a stripped-down set--acoustic guitar and light drums. they said that would be great. no---we aren't ripping off the white stripes; just going with the flow of things. anyway---so we'll be announcing some new changes soon. the website is currently undergoing a major facelift and we'll soon be out there playing with guys that have new names. but the sound will remain. stay tuned.....

good show last night

2006-01-28T13:17:00.000-08:00

we had a good set last night @ rockstarz patio--thanks to those who were able to make it out! our next show will be at LIVE sports cafe in downtown houston on Thursday, Feb. 2nd @ 9:30 pm. we hope to see everyone there! we're going to try to have some cds ready to sell @ this show!! just need to pick the tracks and package them. see you then--

See Us Again at the Rockstarz and LIVE

2006-01-23T13:57:00.000-08:00

Please support us once more as we perform at the Rockstarz on 01/27/06 and Live SPorts Cafe on 02/02/06. Also watch for our CD. A special thanks to John for laying down the tracks for End Result's Brand New CD.

demo and shows

2006-01-20T07:21:00.000-08:00

hey to all--

looks like we're getting together to lay down some tracks for a demo. mark cole's friend john will be the man behind the machine. we aren't 100 % sure which songs will make the final cut, so we're going to try to record about 8 of them and pick the best ones. the finalists are: she, but you are, finality, won't fight, i won't do it, unfinished, wanderlust and mr. empty.
we booked a show at a fairly new club in downtown houston called LIVE! sports cafe for thursday, Feb 2nd at 10 pm. it's a "battle of the bands" type deal, so come on out and be really, really loud. i'm also going to be doing a solo acoustic show i nthe next month--will let you know the specifics when i know. it's a good way to try out some new material/covers that we haven't had a chance to work on yet as a band.
on a personal note, my sister gave birth to my nephew yesterday. i can't wait to meet the little guy and i'm determined to make him an astros fan! that's it for now--see u @ the shows!

upcoming shows/new songs

2005-12-22T20:48:00.000-08:00

hello all--
and happy holidays.
just wanted to let everyone know of 2 more upcoming
show dates @ the rockstarzpatio---SAT, Jan. 7th and
FRI, Jan 27th. not sure of the start times yet, but will
let you all know asap! i'm thouroughly enjoying my winter
break from school---catching up with family and working on
some new songs. "captured" is a cool little song i wrote 2 days ago..
it's not quite done, but it has a nice crunchy riff going on.
the other new song i've been working on is "out the door."
it's quite a bit softer than anything else i've written lately.
anyway--we have a rehearsal planned for DEC 28th and we will
be focusing a lot of our energy into a bunch of new songs that
we will hopefully play next month!
thanks again for listening and we'll see you soon.

ho, ho, ho!

patio show # 2

2005-12-17T17:36:00.000-08:00

hey everyone--
our show last night at the Rockstarz Patio went really, really well. we had a great turnout (THANKS!!!) and we blazed right through our set. mark ihada stepped up when he was an awkward drumkit---and mark cole was solid on the fretless--as always. we played three new songs--"wanderlust", "won't do it" and "finality". i played "finality" and "black" (pearl jam cover) mid-set by myself. i was a little uneasy being up there by myself, but i think i pulled it off. there will be some new videos up soon from this show. Rockstarz asked us to come back and play a few shows next month and we happily accepted. so as soon as we know the dates, we'll let all of you know. we may be playing next week at a differnt club---we'll know for sure on monday. just want to thank the PATIO again and everyone that came out and made it memorable. i think i can speak for my bandmates in saying that it's a great feeling to look out into the crowd and see a familiar face clapping and cheering along with the music.
anyway---i've rambled enough. thanks again--and we hope to see all of you soon.

happy holidays-
matt

2005-12-13T21:58:00.000-08:00

just got home about 30 minutes ago from a solid rehearsal. what a long day we all had---at the end of practice, we were all just flat-out beat. we've adjusted our set list a bit---made some room for some new tunes i think everyone will enjoy. on friday, these songs will be making their END RESULT debuts: "cold citizen", won't do it", "wanderlust", and "finality." should be a fun, fun night---an excellent way to end finals week! until next time..

early versions of "finality" and "hands" to be posted online

2005-12-12T06:20:00.000-08:00

hey everybody--

mark is going to post my home recordings of 2 new songs on our site--- "hands" and "finality". we thought it would be a cool way for everyone to hear the early stages of these songs before we worked on them as a band. both were recorded on my trusty acoustic. "hands" is a mellow song that builds a bit at the end with the bridge---"hold the pen....you hold the sword." it was written about 2 weeks ago.
"finality" was written, in all honesty, about 2-3 days ago. i was working on another new song when i stumbled accross the chord progression. it's a nice little mid-tempo song that i hope to play this friday at the patio gig. both songs will be posted in the next day or so.
we'd love your feedback on these songs---let us know what you think. as soon as we have them down as a band, we'll post those versions as well. it'll be interesting to watch these songs evolve.
that's all for now---see you at the patio.
