I know mine do. My guitars, my bass, my tape recorders. They invite their friends around – a drum kit, maybe a piano or a couple of amplifiers and away they go! Well… maybe I do help just a little, but it always feels like it’s the guitars that are throwing the party. So that’s what the big Guitar Party CD is all about…
“Melodic fun album… fresh interpretations of many old favourites.” - New Gandy Dancer.
“Well done, Ed.” - 2Good4Words
Ed Matzenik plays guitars and bass on the Guitar Party CD and plays bass with Johnny Green’s Blues Cowboys, voted Australia’s top pub band in 2001.
His first band, formed in high school, was the Atlantics - who some time after Ed’s tenure were to score several international hits with their dynamic surf-style instrumentals.
Meanwhile Ed played guitar and pedal steel with many of Australia’s top country artists including Reg Lindsay, Buddy Williams and Arthur Blanch. In ’68 and ’69 he played night clubs in Thailand and the Philippines, and for six months American military bases in Vietnam.
During the Seventies he was studio manager for Track Records in London, working for the Who and recording demos for artists and writers including Alexis Korner, the Grease Band and Motorhead.
In the Eighties Ed produced many records for Enrec Studios in Tamworth, Australia - specialising in Aboriginal artists, including Roger Knox, the Koori Classic series and didgeridoo star Mark Atkins – sparking quite a boom at that time in indigenous music.
Asked if the instrumental CD, Guitar Party, reflects those past lives, Ed says “not directly… but who knows?”
