about
The Low End String Quartet was formed by composer/guitarist Jonathan Matis (formerly of Death Slug with Tyondai Braxton). The instrumentation differs from the standard string quartet model, adding a bass, dropping a violin, and swapping a guitar where the viola should be. This "new and improved" string quartet lineup is much better suited to clubs and bars than the classical model, and is better equipped for rumbling your ribcage. The group is staffed by a diverse bunch: classical (although quite eclectic) cellist Jodi Beder; Matis on guitar, bringing his mixed bag of avant-rock, jazz, and post-classical influences; classical, bluegrass, jazz, i.e. highly versatile bassist Thomas Clune; and classical veteran/middle eastern music expert, Andrea Vercoe on violin. They intend to rock. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
