about
Anyone who knows Matt Arbogast knows how special he and his family are - they're kind, open, and caring folks who emanate positivity and warmth into their communities.
To celebrate his 40th birthday, Andrew Bryant and I each secretly covered our favorite Gunshy songs (Matt's band for nearly 20 years, and the reason we all know each other) in our respective hometowns (Philadelphia, PA and Oxford, MS). We then handed them off to Little Elephant Lathe Cuts in Toledo, OH who lathe-cut 5 7" records. Once that was done, Ryan Troy Ford illustrated, screen printed and assembled them at his home in Chicago. We then hand-delivered them to Matt later that night.
Happy 40th birthday Matt. You're the goddamn best to ever do it.
