Matt Abbott a.k.a.
Secrets is a man. However, Matt is not just your average man, but rather a member of a deep, dark, secret society of estranged mans, who share an unusual but respectable bond for all things weird.
Some days, you might find him planting morning glories in Anderson Cooper's garden. Other times, he'll disappear without a trace, only to send message along that he's been tripping balls with the Navajos at burning man, waxing poetically for months about the lost Atlantian race of goat weasels - the note - signed, sealed and delivered in pigs blood. But you see, there's plenty of reason behind his sociopathic behavior and spontaneous pursuits; you can't steal the tribe's horses and ride off with their women unless you've subjected them to a rigorous daily regiment of face melting.
So.... you thought the Indians could hang? HA!.... maybe..... but not the kind of hanging this self-proclaimed derelict gets down with and this interview conducted by
Underground Resistance's
Bileebob, proves exaclty why. Also, peep this bad ass mix that Abbott did for
the Bunker over the summer. Download

INTERVIEW
Bileebob)I love artists that don't take themselves too seriously.... What's your mantra?
Matt)I think chinstroking is for deficient people that are just too big of vaginas to actually do what they want to do.. Im so sick of all these divas in the party scene taking shit so serious. I mean, your fucking getting paid to drink free drinks, get tons of pussy, get fucked up and play music for people to party to. how anyone can complain about that i'll never understand.
B)What live gear do you use other than software?
M)i usually just use software and various MIDI controllers when I play out. I'm about to start working with more live insturments soon.
B)When do you know you have partied too hard?
M)when you die. In fact, fuck that. i'm pretty sure that's happened to me once or twice. Death is a pussy.
B)When you are at a party, how can you tell if it's going to be off the chains?
M)if its a small dark venue, is blaring Cannible Corpse, the walls are sweating, has only 1 red light, a mountian of DMT pwder, some live goats, a free duct dape table, and a tub of vaseline.
B)Why did you decide to leave Detroit?
M)Ive left Detroit "for good" about 4,663,679 times. I have a love/hate relationship with this city. I love the pepole, but i hate getting robbed and beat up all the time. and the 2am bar time is fucking bullshit, man.
