mattvend Matt Vend Durban Matt Vend and The Tender 10, is the solo project of South African born singer/journalist/songwriter/traveller and nomad Matt “Beard” Wilson who has been playing music in bands since 1999, from the “tender” age of 14. His projects include the long running Sibling Rivalry, which managed to gain a loyal and cult like following throughout South Africa and even parts of Thailand being one of the most i nfluential punk bands to come out of Durban in the last decade. The short lived but extremely well received Tubby Wilsons which delved into both Matt and fellow writer and musician Yusuf Laher’s affection for nostalgic pop and punk music and Durban’s first folk inspired punk/rock ‘n roll band Car Boot Vendors which is still very much alive yet just on hiatus whilst Matt is doing some travelling and work on his solo record. He is no stranger to the studio and has recorded collectively over 50 songs with the various projects he has been involved with, including guest appearances with Fruits and Veggies (Durban afro/reggae misfits), Misled (Joburg’s finest new school hardcore/punk band) and Blaq Hitler (Durban MC and hip hop producer). He is now finally delving into the production side of making music, recording and producing his first solo offering which will be out early 2012. He has been doing a few shows in and out of Bangkok over the last few months and will be embarking on an adventure through Vietnam early 2012, busking and playing shows from Hanoi to Saigon. Although recording is a big part of this musician’s repertoire live is where he shines, with literally hundreds of shows under his belt across South Africa and Thailand appearing on every stage imaginable from street corners and dingy bars to major festivals. mattvend’s tracks Disorder (Joy Division Cover) Hezron Chetty and Matt Vend by mattvend published on 2022-09-02T07:56:15Z The Suburbs (Arcade Fire cover) by mattvend published on 2021-05-16T10:21:24Z The 26th of May (sky train ramble) by mattvend published on 2021-02-23T07:01:51Z The same old shade of blue by mattvend published on 2021-02-08T06:37:18Z Oblivion (Originally by Grimes) by mattvend published on 2021-01-16T06:32:23Z Nothing Left To Give (except love) by mattvend published on 2021-01-08T09:07:26Z Restless - (New Order Cover) by mattvend published on 2020-03-28T14:53:49Z Vtown Quarantine by mattvend published on 2020-03-18T02:42:15Z Break Chains (Matt Vend and Marques Mkhize) by mattvend published on 2020-01-24T08:57:32Z Slide Away (Miley Cyrus cover) by mattvend published on 2020-01-11T08:09:32Z
