Your band of the week is Matt & Kim.

Matt & Kim are an indie rock duo residing in Brooklyn, New York City, New York. The group was formed in 2004 and is composed of Matt Johnson (vocals/keyboards) and Kim Schifino (drums/vocals). The two met while attending Pratt Institute in Brooklyn. Matt is originally from Vermont and Kim is from Rhode Island. Their simple dance-style rhythms and energetic performances have gained them a substantial local following. An online presence has grown mostly through social networking like at MySpace and Facebook as well as at media sites such as YouTube. Once beginning their serious recording as a group, they resided in Matt’s parents’ house, recording in the attic. Matt’s brother, Fletcher, acted as a judge, critiquing their songs and helping the two better their rhythm. You can listen to their hit song titled “Daylight” by clicking on the icon below.
