Matthew Mottel, is an internationally recognized musician and  artist, performing most notably with Talibam! for the past seven  years. His visage should be familiar to anyone who’s been going to  shows in NYC in  the past ten years. He’s been hanging around NYC clubs  since he was  like 16, and dropping electric mind bombs with his  synthesizer in those  clubs nearly as long with folks like Karole Armitage, Rhys Chatham, Awesome Color,  Akron/Family,  Jeffrey Lewis, Chris Taylor (Grizzly Bear), Kenny  Wollesen, Chris  Corsano, Ras Moshe, Cooper-Moore, Sean Meehan, and many others.
