Artist History Singer/guitarist/songwriter Matt Kurzban heads up the NYC group DAMN GLAD. Along with bandmates Jeff Baker on drums, Doug Shank on bass, and Rob Cuevas on guitar/backing vocals. Their sound, energy and style of soulful power rock packs a flavor that keeps you humming. INGREDIENTS: High energy, charisma and personality is their formula for putting on a show worth mention. The driving guitars, infectious grooves and memorable melodies/harmonies distinguish their sound. No gimmicks here. Just driving soulful rock with attitude and introspective lyrics that define who they are as people. Matt started the group back in 1997 with the usual revolving door of musicians coming and going. Always plugging in parts when needed to remain steady on the NYC circuit under the name Immoral Fibres. It wasn't until early 2002 that longtime friend/guitarist Robert Cuevas reunited with Matt & Jeff. Summer 2002 they changed their name. "It just wasn't us anymore" says Matt. "We wanted a name that let the light back in. We're not angry rockers, we're DAMN GLAD to be on this planet everyday". The group first turned heads kicking off the Woodstock 99 festival as one of NYCs emerging artists and have performed at 2002's Locobazooka tour with Sevendust, Filter, POD, Puddle Of Mudd and many more. They've been featured on such mainstream radio stations Q104.3FM, WBAB 102.3FM and WLIR 92.7FM in New York. The guys spent the winter of 2002/2003 finishing their first full length cd entitled "And That's That!" for independent release in July 2003.
