Some of you may know Matt Elliott more by his pseudonym, The Third Eye Foundation, than the one that appears on his passport. It was under this moniker that the Bristol native became a pioneer of the 'drill 'n' bass' approach to electronica. It was this bleak and brutal approach to electronica, combined with Elliott's ability to transcend genres that won him many admirers in the world of music, resulting in Elliott producing remixes for the likes of Mogwai and Thurston Moore amongst others.
Now living in France, Elliott specialises in releasing albums variously described as folk and vaudeville. The most recent release, 2008's Howling Songs, drew comparisons with no less than Tom Waits, Nick Cave and Leonard Cohen. Now, in association with Forever Presents, Key Notes is offering two people the chance to win double passes to see Elliott in action, Upstairs in Whelan's on Thursday, April 9.
To be in with a chance of winning, just send an email with Matt Elliott Competition in the subject bar to keynotes[at]cluas[dot]com. The competition will close at midnight on Monday April 6. Winners will be chosen at random and, as always, Key Notes' decision is final.
