Matchbox Twenty – Rob Thomas, Paul Doucette, Kyle Cook and Brian Yale –sealed their comeback in September with their Radio 2 A listed pop classic “She’s So Mean” which propelled “North” straight into the UK charts at 14.
That same month the band played a sold out show at London’s Shepherd’s Bush Empire that earned a 4* review in the Times and also headlined the Roundhouse as part of the i-Tunes Festival.
Matchbox Twenty have so far sold over 30 million albums worldwide. They recently toured Australia and will embark on an American tour before returning to the UK in April.
After a recent show, Sydney’s Music Network described Matchbox Twenty as “…one of the world’s best groups, still having infectious fun and branching out over their long and glorious career”.
