I'm really excited to meet this guy. FINGERS CROSSED, in Seattle- but if not- it'll happen one of these days. Next time you guys are in Western Canada. Or in Seattle again. I don't know.
Anyway, from what I've heard, he does not disappoint.
Hahaha, aww. That was a cute video. I like his slippers a lot. Too bad I won't get to see you guys this tour. :( Thanks for coming to Chicago on the same day as Tegan and Sara. >:(
Dylan's such a champ. In my opinion, you couldn't have found a better replacement for Justin. Bring him, yourself, and the others back to Australia very soon, please!
Funny story. At a show from the recent Aust. tour (Adelaide) some friends and i were waiting at the stage before the support bands went on. I turned around only to scope a man dressed in red holding a hot pink coffee cup, drinking tea standing right in front of me. It was none other that The D Man chillin' before the show.
Surprised we knew who he was, some awkward conversation about the weather and his experiences in Aust. followed. By this time his tea was cold and he had to leave.
this really makes me want to go see you next friday...but how shall it work? such intense decisions. leave school on thursday and skip friday classes to drive to california pa? oh gosh this is a tough decision.
regardless, that was an amazing introduction. hello dylan!
I'm just going to have to second Billy right down to the phrasing.
Also, brilliant directing there, Shawn. All in all most likely the best introduction video I’ve ever seen. Very amusing; really can’t wait to meet Dylan now! Which reminds me; when are you going to play in Europe again? Soon I hope.
Whoever Sherry really is, person or thing, because I really do not think a woman of her stature (as goes on her myspace) or wellbeing in many ways would even be bothered to keep coming onto Shawn's blog.
Very claudicant indeed.
Anyway, Dylan seems like a cool guy, I just hope you guys actually want to come to the UK again, after such annoying affairs with the Metropolitan Police.
dont u guys GET it? Sherry isn't even a real person! Check the myspace-hasn't logged in since 7/2007..so why would she even reference her myspace? It's just some poor soul that is being used as an alias of a fool...sort of sad to think that lady doesn't even know she is being looked at!
Claudicant? I wasn't aware we were in the 14th century, anonymous. My myspace is the only thing with a URL I would think of leaving as a personal site, even though I've forgotten the password. I have a right to leave comments on this blog, because it is public. I wasn't aware the SS of Blogger.com would be dissecting my regards as their own. Mind your own business.
No one seems to use a thesaurous anymore, or it so seems. Maybe it's based on the fact that you Sherry, really don't venture to the other 90% of your brain that we're supposedly not using.
I like 'em. Huzzah! to...Dylan. Huzzah again. Weh may miss Justin, but at least there's Dylan... yesss and [that was hot] that was very proper, indeed.
If that was meant to be an insult, you lost me. You think "talking circles" will demean me, when all it does is affirm my guess that you eight year olds are struggling to impress bands who don't seem to care much about your behalf. Had this band member a lot more time on his hands, I'm sure he'd be able to respond to you all, myself as well.
Shawn, you ought to be on this thing more, for the readers/commentators. IMO, anyway.
oh! and my friend amber, your rudeness has left an impression in my mind, that I really don't find you all that entertaining, so if you could, just skim over what I have to say from now on, and I'll do the same for your posts. it'll save a lot of space on here for decent ones. if you don't, I'll shrink to the worse person and rebuke, and we'll be at it for a long ass time.
Yes, Dylan's a darling. Bizarre as shit, but a fun kid; knew that the first show he played.
Sorry, Shawn darling, but I have to keep bugging you. Please play "What Katie Said" in Spanglish at the Bottom of the Hill on October 20th? I annoy you because I like you.
alicia, there are some rights and wrongs to your post. i don't have to "go away", i have just as right to be here as you little nasties do, and just because i'm not trying to kiss shawn's ass does not mean i deserve negative feedback, i don't deserve any feedback at all. none of what i write concerns anyone besides shawn, so let me be unless you're him. fucking vultures.
i think dylan is a smarmy little boy, but he's got a lot of spunk and he's not a bad bassist... thus i give him my kudos.
I apologize for not practicing what I preach, but you see, Ms.Bridges, what you write DOES concern me when you call me out as you just did, ESPECIALLY when I did not necessarily call you out. I was speaking not to you, but to the other people who post here because they want to respond to what Shawn has written, and not have to read your irrelevant, attacking rants.
I suggest you e-mail him with your concerns, you're likely to get a lot less shit, and you just might get an answer.
alicia - i appreciate the tone of your comment, it sounds rational and wise. sounds, doesn't necessarily mean it is. i hardly think my comments are "rants", as they only span about two or three sentences at the max, save for my defensive ones (lol). they might be irrelevant to the common eye, but who's to say it's not an inside joke between me and shawn? i'm not saying it is, but one would never know.
as for emailing him... ehhh... i feel i'd have better luck getting a response on this page than an email would. i have to thank you though, alicia, for being the first person i've come across with sense here.
Dylan fits in with you guys well. I sore you in Melbourne and he is a great performer. Thanks for the video i feel like i know him a little better hahaha.
"they might be irrelevant to the common eye, but who's to say it's not an inside joke between me and shawn? i'm not saying it is, but one would never know."
An inside joke kinda like Tyler Durden was an inside joke?
Bravo, everyone, dawn here has read/seen "Fight Club". Pat her on the back, and praise her for her snide remark. Let's all follow alicia's advice and look past it, shall we?
Glad I have Internet on my phone, were driving from NYC to the show you're playing tonight in pa... I'm not really sure if were making it, since our car broke down, but hopefully well make it down to see you guys play! ( otherwise our 6-7 hour trip will most likely suck a lot haha)hope your show goes well!
i don't know why i found it as hillarious as i did, i giggled like a little girl. so just out of curiousity why are you guys coming to arizona and not visiting phoenix, cause that's not cool tucson the only thing that city has going for them is the UofA but even that fails in comparison to the awesomeness of ASU that phoenix has, plus i'm in phoenix so that two things that phoenix has that tucson doesn't tisk tisk guys tisk tisk
BLOG FIGHT! It's your not so subtle way of telling me to post a new entry, I know, I know. I do read all of the comments. I usually don't comment myself though, 'cause I'm a pretty feisty blog fighter myself, and that would look quite immature. (No offense)
i realize that it must be difficult to put names to faces, and faces to personalities, so i need to say thanks (from all listeners blessed with the music) for not only coming to columbus, but playing a very short and dearly loved acoustic set. you truly don't know how grateful i am.
By the way, Dylan fits right in, and he seems to be a really great guy. Hope for more good conversations in the future. (We did make it to the show in PA, despite setbacks)
Staying along the sidetracked topic; blog fights are among my 7 wonders of the Internet. Alongside MySpace stalking, boot-legged books (I applaud or scold whoever took the time to type them out), Fan Fictions, and misguided poetry... -V
Listen here shawnfromthematches if that is your real name. I don't know where you got the right to post on this blog but you listen...are you listening?! This can get hot in the city like Billy Idol if you're not careful. You hear me?!
Why is it the only reason people comment this blog is to fight with people. Dont comment if its not about the blog and you just want to write some mean comment to someone else. Go do it somewhere else. Fucking hell post a comment about "A Proper Introduction" And stop trying to prove how tough you can be.
And yes i know this comment has nothing to do with reponse to "A Proper Introduction" Im just hoping this comment will get threw some of your thick heads.
Had the pleasure of meeting young Dylan on Sat. in Columbus. My conclusions? Great on stage, good taste in books (Survivor=win), snazzy dresser, good hair...lol. Annnd he liked my silly monster toys. Dylan is a doll. I wholeheartedly approve. :)
Yes, Dylan is definately a great addition to the band! He's sweet, silly, talented, & adorable. I am looking forward to getting to know him better in the future! I could be slightly biased due to the fact that he's from Tennessee, but still...
Of course, if we're talking about people in the band with great taste in books, Shawn's own taste tears me to bits. He understands words and the books I've read that I know he likes always leave me a little speechless because they are so well-written.
things don't generally go THREW my head, but I think it is in your best interest to let it be, for God's sake. Shut up. let bygones be bygones. And let me just say Dylan is an excellent, maneuverable force of reckoning, and I couldn't of picked a more suited bassist unless it was me.
hahaha i like how it took u guys so long to get the clip where he has to look at u that craked me up for some reason i think because it shows how much thought u put into it lol
oh goodness. dylan your the cutest thing ever! haha it was so awesome meeting you at the seattle show. if you dont remember me, im that girl that when i left with friends we teased you about how you were "following us" haha and yeah i told you, you are the cutest thing ever. haha its so true :]

<3

I'm really excited to meet this guy.
FINGERS CROSSED, in Seattle- but if not- it'll happen one of these days. Next time you guys are in Western Canada. Or in Seattle again. I don't know.
Anyway, from what I've heard, he does not disappoint.
dylan has to be the cutest person alive!
Hahaha.
Oh my god.
You guys are amazing.
Hahaha, aww.
That was a cute video. I like his slippers a lot.
Too bad I won't get to see you guys this tour. :( Thanks for coming to Chicago on the same day as Tegan and Sara. >:(
Very proper indeed.
Dylan's such a champ.
In my opinion, you couldn't have found a better replacement for Justin.
Bring him, yourself, and the others back to Australia very soon, please!

Surprised we knew who he was, some awkward conversation about the weather and his experiences in Aust. followed. By this time his tea was cold and he had to leave.
so.
Dylan. I'm sorry we ruined your tea....
best introduction video ever.
i really like Dylan.
and i actually mean that too. i ain't even saying crap because i feel i have to support the band.
he's really nice, and at the shows i've seen it seems like he's fitting in really smoothly.
sure i miss Justin, but i'm glad you guys didn't bring in a goober.
Dylan is lovely, and I'm so glad I got to meet him - and the rest of you again - in Melbourne. Come back to Australia soon. <3
hahaha.
I fully approve. If only I could make it to the Columbus or Cleveland show. :[ Damn not having a car on campus.
this really makes me want to go see you next friday...but how shall it work? such intense decisions. leave school on thursday and skip friday classes to drive to california pa? oh gosh this is a tough decision.
regardless, that was an amazing introduction. hello dylan!
New favorite video, right there. Hey, Dyl, love your features. -grins-
That is one ass-kicking slipper-wearing bassist if I ever saw one.
haha this is hilarious
can't wait until november 9th
I'm just going to have to second Billy right down to the phrasing.
Also, brilliant directing there, Shawn. All in all most likely the best introduction video I’ve ever seen. Very amusing; really can’t wait to meet Dylan now! Which reminds me; when are you going to play in Europe again? Soon I hope.
welcome to the family, dylan. (:
After much delay, it was nice to finally get the in-depth introduction. I was so desperately hoping to meet his pinkie and his slippers.
Like so many others, I can't wait to see how he is with you guys onstage.
(...I feel like such a tool for asking, but please, please play Eryn Smith in Denver next month?)
OoooH!
Someone is smitten with Mr Rowe ;0)
As much as we all miss Justin,
The Matches could not have picked anyone as genuine, talented and "gnarly" as Dylan.
HEHE I'M GOING TO WATCH IT AGAIN.
i totally saw him at the art and soul fest (in oakland. this year. duh.) Tell him Priscilla FROM oakland thinks he's HOTTTT. :)
oh yeah. I love you guys.
I will be meeting him and the rest of you fine fellows in North Carolina on November 7th.
He seems like an awesome guy.
However, he looks JUST like a friend of mine AND he has the same initials. It's rather creeping me out. Hahaha
i hope to see you, new member and all on october 7th!
why must you make it difficult and be on a tuesday!
haha, just kidding.
i'll find a way.
That was cute. I can't wait to meet Dylan when you guys come to Buffalo on Nov. 11th!
shame on you you don't feed your dog. i'm calling the ASPCA of OAKLAND.
by the way is that even your dog Mr. Harris? I'd like to know who to report.
Ahaha. Sherry strikes again...
Hi Dylan.
This is all very strange, like an out of body experience on a sunday afternoon.
I am excited for Dylan, yet deeply saddend by the loss of Justin.
I know he will fit right in though, and I can't wait to see you all play again!
P.S.
I love your slippers!
...and since I have been forward enough to plead for one song in Denver, I might add that it would make my month if you play From 24C.
Whoever Sherry really is, person or thing, because I really do not think a woman of her stature (as goes on her myspace) or wellbeing in many ways would even be bothered to keep coming onto Shawn's blog.
Very claudicant indeed.
Anyway, Dylan seems like a cool guy, I just hope you guys actually want to come to the UK again, after such annoying affairs with the Metropolitan Police.
dont u guys GET it? Sherry isn't even a real person! Check the myspace-hasn't logged in since 7/2007..so why would she even reference her myspace? It's just some poor soul that is being used as an alias of a fool...sort of sad to think that lady doesn't even know she is being looked at!
justin's better.
...Sherry Bridges is awesome.
HI DYLAN :D
I still miss Justin :[
DYLAN WATCH OUT.
AS YOU CAN SEE IN COMMENT 3, ALLYSON IS COMING TO GET YOU. RUN WHILE YOU HAVE THE CHANCE.
Haha just kidding. Kind of. But anyway welcome to the band! I'm excited to see if you know the Berries & Cream dance or not.
Wait. What?
Claudicant? I wasn't aware we were in the 14th century, anonymous. My myspace is the only thing with a URL I would think of leaving as a personal site, even though I've forgotten the password. I have a right to leave comments on this blog, because it is public. I wasn't aware the SS of Blogger.com would be dissecting my regards as their own. Mind your own business.
Oh hi, Dylan. You seem awesome. *embraces you*
I miss Justin, but I don't think you could've found a better replacement.
i wasn't aware that claudicant was even a word, let alone one that made sense in the context that it was used.
crazy brits.
Hey Dylan :)
Wish you the best of luck on tour
No one seems to use a thesaurous anymore, or it so seems. Maybe it's based on the fact that you Sherry, really don't venture to the other 90% of your brain that we're supposedly not using.
Plane ticket for Sherry, please.
http://i37.tinypic.com/ajt6ww.png
Wow, someone has a weird imagination....
i shall get an even better introduction this saturday.
i truly cannot wait until then.
ptthhhhhhhh.
fuck.
...
"Mind your own business."
lol, that's not hypocritical.
I like 'em. Huzzah! to...Dylan. Huzzah again. Weh may miss Justin, but at least there's Dylan...
yesss
and [that was hot]
that was very proper, indeed.
If that was meant to be an insult, you lost me. You think "talking circles" will demean me, when all it does is affirm my guess that you eight year olds are struggling to impress bands who don't seem to care much about your behalf.

Sherry's trying to sound intelligent.
Whoever is claiming to be a smart ass is anyone's guess.
I really really don't like seeing shit like this on this blog.
You do realize that the simple way to not have to see anymore of it is to just not egg her on, right? Stop responding to her.
Ignore her posts, and slowly, she'll go away. Or at least keep her posts to a minimum.
Welcome to one of the best families ever, Dylan.
apart from maybe the Von Trapp family...
*counts*...wow Dylan's a youngin'! haha...
looking forward to meeting you November 12th!
-Maddie

P.s. - and as far as other people "having to read" what i write... if i possessed that sort of power, believe you me, i wouldn't be wasting it here XD
Sherry, as occasionally stark your comments are, I usually laugh whilst reading them.
You kids, and your blog fights. Be nice!
honestly, who doesn't love sherry bridges and her comments?
...deep down, we all do.
Dylan fits in with you guys well. I sore you in Melbourne and he is a great performer. Thanks for the video i feel like i know him a little better hahaha.
Hope to see you back out here next year.
xx
last comment on here, I promise!
I now a blog of my own, if you wish to read it, it is linked. night!

1988 huh? I'm feeling a bit old right now, but still eager to hear the first products of this new union!
Glad I have Internet on my phone, were driving from NYC to the show you're playing tonight in pa...

Sorry if some one asked already, but I what's the song playing as dylan's sliding along looking into the camera near the end?
I like :)
Shaun r yo9 d8in that emile chik cuz lyk3 u too seem so cl0se
i don't know why i found it as hillarious as i did, i giggled like a little girl. so just out of curiousity why are you guys coming to arizona and not visiting phoenix, cause that's not cool tucson the only thing that city has going for them is the UofA but even that fails in comparison to the awesomeness of ASU that phoenix has, plus i'm in phoenix so that two things that phoenix has that tucson doesn't tisk tisk guys tisk tisk

how did you like columbus, sir?
By the way, Dylan fits right in, and he seems to be a really great guy. Hope for more good conversations in the future. (We did make it to the show in PA, despite setbacks)
the lack of leaving comments makes the existing few appreciated though doesn't it?
I think so.
I still have yet to hear the boy actually sing!
Staying along the sidetracked topic; blog fights are among my 7 wonders of the Internet. Alongside MySpace stalking, boot-legged books (I applaud or scold whoever took the time to type them out), Fan Fictions, and misguided poetry...

//sarcasm. Just so you know.
I'm not sure it's blog fights we should watch out for....
http://i34.tinypic.com/2mqkdwg.png
that would be the case more or so.
Oh man. After reading all the comments on this blog, my night has gotten significantly better!
I love blog fights terribly.
Keep up the good work!
And I agree with whomever said that deep down inside we all love Sherry Bridges and her comments. I know I sure do!
Why is it the only reason people comment this blog is to fight with people. Dont comment if its not about the blog and you just want to write some mean comment to someone else. Go do it somewhere else. Fucking hell post a comment about "A Proper Introduction" And stop trying to prove how tough you can be.
And yes i know this comment has nothing to do with reponse to "A Proper Introduction" Im just hoping this comment will get threw some of your thick heads.
(Welcome to the band Dylan :])
And this is WHY I dont like Matches fans.
Hmm...yeah, getting back on topic.
Had the pleasure of meeting young Dylan on Sat. in Columbus. My conclusions? Great on stage, good taste in books (Survivor=win), snazzy dresser, good hair...lol. Annnd he liked my silly monster toys. Dylan is a doll. I wholeheartedly approve. :)
Yes, Dylan is definately a great addition to the band! He's sweet, silly, talented, & adorable. I am looking forward to getting to know him better in the future! I could be slightly biased due to the fact that he's from Tennessee, but still...
Of course, if we're talking about people in the band with great taste in books, Shawn's own taste tears me to bits. He understands words and the books I've read that I know he likes always leave me a little speechless because they are so well-written.
things don't generally go THREW my head, but I think it is in your best interest to let it be, for God's sake. Shut up. let bygones be bygones. And let me just say Dylan is an excellent, maneuverable force of reckoning, and I couldn't of picked a more suited bassist unless it was me.
btw, I agree, sherry is excellent.
God, For the love of god grow up people.
I had horrible grammar in my last comment, I apologize
hahaha i like how it took u guys so long to get the clip where he has to look at u that craked me up for some reason i think because it shows how much thought u put into it lol
I hope to see you guys out here again sometime next year:)
Dylan fits in well.
where did justin go?
luls, I'd love to know who said Dylan was barely noticable at the first set of shows he played with the guys....
oh goodness.
dylan your the cutest thing ever!
haha it was so awesome meeting you at the seattle show.
if you dont remember me, im that girl that when i left with friends we teased you about how you were "following us" haha and yeah i told you, you are the cutest thing ever. haha
its so true
