This is an article taken from an interview Matt did last year before the "Matt Stanley and The Decoys" show in Whistler last December.

Hello Everybody,

We've been keeping busy here on the Decoy front. Like we mentioned last post,  The album is a done deal. It's just about to be mastered and then we will announce all the details. Later this week I plan on posting a little unplugged performance of one of the songs you can expect to hear on the upcoming album....but it will definately sound more rockin' with the band!

Hello Everyone,

We wanted to fill you in on all the latest little bits of news that have been occurring from the Decoys camp.

First of all, the album is in the bag. We finished mixing it about a week ago, now we are just waiting on Guitar Guru Jarrett to finish the artwork. Keep checking www.mattstanleyandthedecoys.com over the next little while for info on the first single, tracklisting, artwork, and the release date!

Just wanted to let everyone know about the shows we're playing this December.

As previously reported, we are playing at The Inlet Theatre this Sunday, December 12th, for the ``Very Vancouver Christmas show``. It costs $10 at the door (free if you're under 5 years). Other acts include The Light Machines, Cupla, Danny Echo, and much more.

The latest instalment of our segment “What Are The Decoys Listening To?.....” is here and this time we are taking a look at what albums drummer Sean Poissant has been listening to!

Sean Poissant: November 22^nd, 2010

Hello Everyone,

As we mentioned before, we donated an original Christmas song for the “Very Vancouver Christmas 5” compilation. The song is called “The Greatest Gift” and the only way to hear it is by buying the compilation CD or by buying the song on iTunes. All the money goes to the SPCA, so please check out all the great artists and great original Christmas songs, just in time for the holidays.
