We’ve tried to imagine the vows Matt and Kim wrote for
their wedding. We think it went something like: “I, Kim, take Matt to
be my lawfully wedded keyboardist, vocalist, and husband, and I promise
to always thwack out exuberant rhythms on my drums to bolster his yelps
and earnest crooning, on the road and off.” “I, Matt, take Kim to be my
percussive anchor and wife, and I promise to always keep it real with
the New Wave riffs on my keyboard.” The couple’s catchy romps, which
have a tendency to set off energetic hand-clapping from the crowds,
borrow from both the raw energy of the Ramones and the synth-heavy emo
of New Order. It’s a match made in rock-and-roll heaven. Go fall in
love tonight at the Middle East Downstairs (472 Mass Ave, Cambridge, 617.864.3278). Doors are at 7:30 p.m. Get tickets ($10) at www.ticketmaster.com or at the Middle East box office.
