Hey, hey, it’s leap year! What are you going to do with your extra day? I’m going to work, McDonald’s is giving away McSkillet Burritos, and Matt Pond PA will be launching a new tour in support of their most recent album, Last Light.
Released in September of 2007, Last Light was Matt Pond PA’s fifth release on Altitude Records. For a sampling of tracks from the album, including the rather enjoyable “People Have a Way” (mp3), be sure to check out the Matt Pond PA MySpace page. And while you’re at it, why not get a bit of history by checking out Andy Jackson’s feature on the band from 2004.
