I met Matt in 1998 at HOOTERS of Clarksville. He was just back from a gig with DOTN. We began hanging out and playing video games on a regular basis.

Matt was instrumental in getting DOTN to play the infamous Derby Bikini Festival in Louisville, Kentucky 3 weeks prior to their hitting the road with Metallica in 1998.

I was blown up when he returned and informed me that DOTN was no more. I encouraged Matt, Jesse and Todd to hit the studio hard and he said "we are already there cindy". The rest, as you see, is history!!

I believe Matt Taul may be the most underrated drummer in the world. That is all about to change.
