<p>A large span of time has passed since our last update. Sorry about that. We are still here. Still active. Still playing and writing, and stretching our boundaries. That being said, our calendar has been updated with some performance dates coming up in November and December. We have been asked by the Saint Stephen's Episcopal Cathedral to provide jazz interpretations for a monthly "jazz mass" every third Saturday. That began in September. The next one coming up will be on November 17th at 5PM. This is an inclusive service. All our welcome. It is also informal. We play a couple of originals as well.</p>
<p>December 8th and December 9th we will be back at the Christmas Villages in Philadelphia and Baltimore. We will play some holiday arrangements as well as originals. The Baltimore show will be slightly longer than the one in Philly.</p>
<p>We will soon have some merchandise available. We are ordering shirts and looking into another batch of CDs of our two previous releases; Stelliferous and the Puzzle With No Pieces. We will let everyone know when these are in stock.</p>
<p>And finally, we are still writing new material for our as yet untitled third album. We are hoping to start recording by first quarter 2019.</p>
<p>Thanks for your continued support. See you soon!</p>

<p>Our last blog post was September 26, 2016. We realize that's quite a lapse on our part. Sorry about that. </p>
<p>So where to begin... </p>
<p>We are taking a break! Yeah! Woo hoo! </p>
<p>Wait...what? Yes. We know. Seems counterproductive doesn't it? Unfortunately it is necessary. Bassist Drew Hall is involved in several other projects at the moment and has requested some time to get caught up. </p>
<p>In addition we are sorry to report that guitarist Jerry McGowan lost his father on August 8th and is working through the process of grief, frustration, and necessary toil that comes with it. We ask that you please keep Jerry and his family in your thoughts.</p>
<p>On the positive side there are interesting days ahead for our stalwart band of musical adventurers. In November the band will begin the writing process for their third album. Jerry has also hinted that there will be an additional "special" EP that will precede the third album's release sometime in 2018. You read that correctly. Jerry plans on releasing both of these projects next year. </p>
<p>By the way, drummer Kevin Gibson's band <a contents="TIMELESS" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.gigmasters.com/cover-band/timeless-band-of-pa" target="_blank">TIMELESS</a> is playing a show on Dec 15 at the Linglestown Firehouse. Check back soon for details. </p>
<p>On a somewhat odd note (or time signature) we also wanted to mention that there is apparently another band (or maybe several) using the name "Dark Matter Trio."As we don't have a trademark on it there's not much we can say except...when in doubt check our website or shoot us an email. It's not a big deal but we were recently tagged in a Facebook post for a gig that we were not booked for...which was a little annoying. We've now turned off Facebook tagging by third-parties. </p>

A drummer/singer since the '60s, I performed various styles of music, from Acid, Southern, Fusion, and Hard Rock, to what was then called Fusion Jazz (now called Smooth Jazz), to Funk, to R&B, to Country, to Reggae, developing my own rhythmic flair along the way."</em></p>Rehearsals of our current material are underway.

Please let us know what you think.<br><br>In addition to the new aesthetic, we have also added a "Store" page where you can download our latest album, "<a contents="the puzzle with no pieces" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://thedarkmattertrio/store" target="_blank">the puzzle with no pieces</a>."<br><br>As of now, this is the only place where the album is available for purchase. Physical CDs will be available at our shows or by special arrangement. We will not be selling those from the website. To put it simply, the cost is too prohibitive. Please note however that you can download the album in multiple formats. Two of those options include bonus artwork (please see the <a contents="website" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://thedarkmattertrio.com/store" target="_blank">website</a> for details.)<br><br>Lastly, Shawn Kepner has decided to move on to other projects. This means that the position of drummer is currently vacant. If you know someone that might be a good fit please send us an email at <a contents="dm3@thedarkmattertrio.com" data-link-label="" data-link-type="email" href="mailto:dm3@thedarkmattertrio.com" target="_blank">dm3@thedarkmattertrio.com</a>. A few <em>minimal</em> qualifications we're looking for are a solid player with finesse, jazz influenced, creative, over 25 (negotiable).<br><br><em><strong>"Piece!"</strong></em><br>Jerry & Drewthe Dark Matter Triotag:sunsetgaragestudios.com,2005:Post/38685712015-09-25T12:54:38-04:002015-09-25T12:54:38-04:00Catching up...Hey all!<br><br>A few updates for you...<br><br>First of all we have made the new album available for streaming (and only streaming) on our website <a contents="(here)" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://thedarkmattertrio.com/album/245266/the-puzzle-with-no-pieces?autostart=true" target="_blank">(here)</a> and on our ReverbNation profile <a contents="(here)" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.reverbnation.com/thedarkmattertrio/album/106063-the-puzzle-with-no-pieces" target="_blank">(here)</a>. If you haven't checked it out yet please do so and please let us know what you think!<br><br>On Thursday (9/24) we had our first practice in months and Shawn showed Drew and I where he is with the cover art for the album. It looks really cool! He will be scanning it and sending it to me shortly so I can get to work on finalizing the design of the packaging for the physical CDs. Once that is accomplished we should have a better idea of a release date and we can begin accepting pre-orders for downloads. CDs will eventually be available on our CD Baby page and at our shows. Due to the cost of making physical CDs we will only be making a limited number to start with. <br><br>As for seeing/hearing us live we are working on that. Please keep checking our calendar. We will also send out an update as soon as any dates have been confirmed.<br><br>We're still looking into options for live streaming. Unfortunately we had some technical and quality issues with the site we were originally going to use so we're exploring other possibilities. As soon as we find something that works well we will put it in on the calendar and let you all know.<br><br>That's all for now. Hope to see you somewhere soon!<br><br>Cheers!<br>Jerrythe Dark Matter Triotag:sunsetgaragestudios.com,2005:Post/37254262015-06-02T12:39:10-04:002017-01-11T08:53:52-05:00First glimpse of the elusive "Puzzle"<strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, sans; line-height: 18px; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">This Friday night (June 5) you will be able to hear a full length track from our new album (<u><em style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent;">the Puzzle with no Pieces</em></u>) exclusively on Friday Night Progressive with host M.

This <em>should</em> be a shorter process than editing but that is dependent upon a few variables so we'll just have to wait and see. Right now I'm reviewing (and re-reviewing) the tracks and making notes. Shawn and Drew have provided their input as well. A lot of the tracks already sound really good and we're anxious to share them but...not until they're done cooking.<br><br>More updates will follow.<br><br>Take care and thanks for the support!<br><br>-Jerrythe Dark Matter Triotag:sunsetgaragestudios.com,2005:Post/29705352014-05-25T12:32:44-04:002014-05-25T12:32:44-04:00Album 2 update - May 2014Hey kids!<br><br>It's been a long time since I've posted anything lengthy regarding work on the new album so I thought I would do that today. We are about 1/2 way through the preliminary round of mixes at this point...almost. That being said, the idea of a June release is no longer a realistic goal. As you have probably surmised by now, we are not in the frame of mind to rush through this. We want this album to make a statement and to be the best that it can be. I would also like this to represent the best work that I've done as an engineer. So that means maintaining patience and focus. I will spare you any excuses. We've obviously had to contend with a lot of challenges since we started this project in the fall of 2012. Regardless, I believe the outcome would be the same. Even if everything had gone smoothly and perfectly we would still be taking as much time as needed creating the end result.<br><br>I will refrain from projecting the release date for now. However, I will reveal the title of the album (as we are now comfortable with it and sure it's the one we are going to use:)<br><br><em><strong>The Puzzle With No Pieces</strong></em><br><br>Thanks everyone for your continued support and have a great week!<br><br>Jerry<br> the Dark Matter Triotag:sunsetgaragestudios.com,2005:Post/24181342014-01-17T10:09:24-05:002014-01-17T10:09:24-05:00Album 2 updateOK.

Just wanted to take a moment and bring you up to date on a few things. As you have probably heard by now, we are conducting auditions to find a new drummer. Chris left the band in May but we decided to wait until after the album was released online before we started looking.<br><br>
So far we have held one round of auditions and are in the process of scheduling round 2.<br><br>
If you haven't downloaded Stelliferous yet...what the heck are ya waiting for? <img src="//bandzoogle.com/common/FCKEditor/editor/images/smiley/msn/wink_smile.gif" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" /> Actually, some people have told me that they are waiting for physical CDs. That's fine but it may be a while. There's some serious overhead involved with producing CDs and since we aren't playing out at the moment we have to weigh the cost versus the return.<br><br>
We are looking into the possibility of download cards or something similar to that, which are much cheaper to produce. We're just not sure how we would distribute them yet. We are also looking at getting some T-Shirts made...probably using a print-on-demand service like Zazzle.<br><br>
So there you have it<span id="fck_dom_range_temp_1318945487992_939"></span>. We are still here. We are still at it and we are hoping to be able to bring some live DM3 to our fans and supporters some time in the near future.<br><br>
See you soon! Thanks!the Dark Matter Triotag:sunsetgaragestudios.com,2005:Post/52522011-08-08T04:51:21-04:002011-08-08T04:51:21-04:00Stelliferous is now available on CD Baby!!!Go to www.cdbaby.com to download our 1st album Stelliferous!<br><br>

Hope you're having a great spring. Here in south-central PA it has been wet with a chance of rain and occasional intermittent sun showers!<br><br>
We just wanted to take a moment to let you know that we have had to push out the release date of our first album (Stelliferous) to June 7.<br><br>
The delay is due to a combination of circumstances but is really for the best.<br><br>
Look for more details and updates in the next couple of weeks.<br><br>

It's been a while since we've updated you on the progress of our first CD, so we thought today would be a good time to do that...and no this is not an April Fools joke. Honestly...<br><br>
To start off, the CD is still on track to be released this month. Last month Jerry decided to go back and re-record his guitar tracks on 3 songs. The additional recording is complete and the band sat down last night for a listen (and to quietly celebrate Jerry's birthday...shhh.) The response from Chris and Drew on the new tracks was a "thumbs up," so things can now proceed to the final stages of the project.<br><br>
The final stages include wrapping up the arrangements on "Just the Way I Remember You," which is the only track on the CD that will feature Jerry on keys. After that Jerry will then proceed with some final edits, mixdown, and mastering.<br><br>
The actual release date will be announced soon as well as the details of the CD release party...also look for the cover art to be revealed in the next couple of weeks.<br type="_moz"></span><br type="_moz">the Dark Matter Triotag:sunsetgaragestudios.com,2005:Post/52432011-02-04T03:36:27-05:002011-02-04T03:36:27-05:00Drum roll please...<span style="font-size: larger;">And the title of our first CD release is:<br><br><br><i>STELLIFEROUS</i><br><br><br>
The track list is as follows though the order has <u><b><i>not</i></b></u> been set yet:<br><br>
Groovfiti<br>
Smile Made of Autumn<br>
Moonlight is Sunlight is Starlight<br>
What Has Not Been Said<br>
Just the Way I Remember You<br>
Sapien<br>
First Run on New Powder<br>
Some Kind of Gravy<br>
The Coldest Tide<br>
Clyde's Advice<br><br>
In the coming weeks we will reveal the final artwork. Again the CD will be released in April.<br><br>
Thanks everyone! See you soon!<br><br><i>The Dark Matter Trio</i><br type="_moz"></span><br type="_moz">the Dark Matter Triotag:sunsetgaragestudios.com,2005:Post/52412011-01-09T13:38:45-05:002011-01-09T13:38:45-05:00New Live Tracks AddedHey Everyone!<br><br>
Happy 2011. We put up a couple of songs from our first show of the year which we just played this past Tuesday at der Harrisburg Maennerchor upstairs in the Cathedral Room as part of the Tuesday Bluesday music series sponsored by the Keystone Music Society.<br><br>
The tracks are 2 new songs we've been working on: Big Red Truck and Not About Time.<br><br>
Please check them out and let us know what you think on the comments page!<br><br>

It's been a while so I thought I would take some time and catch you up on the latest news. We are slowly moving forward on completing our first CD. We decided to go back and completely re-record what we feel will be one of our signature songs...The Coldest Tide. This song will also be the heaviest track on the CD. I began working on this song around 1990-1991 and I finally feel like we've achieved the sound and arrangement I had always envisioned for it. We did Chris's drum tracks last week and Drew and I just finished recording the bass tracks last night. Now I just need to re-record the guitar.<br><br>
We also added another song to the track list...Clyde's Advice. The song was written by Drew. This track has a very distinct funky groove and is bass and drums only.<br><br>
Tuesday, January 4, 2011 we will be playing live for the first time since July 17. The show takes place in the Cathedral Room of Der Maennerchor on North Street in Harrisburg. Our start time is around 7:30. Please come out and support us if you can. This is a really cool venue and we will be breaking out a lot of new material that night. Check out our Calendar for more details.<br><br>
That's all I have for now...I promise to check in soon with more details and updates on the monster that is our first CD! As always, thanks for your interest and support!<br><br>

I just thought I would take a moment to let you all know what we've been up to lately. We have been busy in the "studio" working on our first CD. Recently, we sat down as a band and reviewed all of the recorded tracks. We found a few things that weren't quite the way we wanted so we are going to be doing some more recording over the next few weeks. In addition I will be spending the next couple of weeks arranging my guitar tracks on 3 songs (<i>Sapien</i>, <i>Some Kind of Gravy</i>, and <i>First Run on New Powder</i>) and the keyboard parts for <i>Just The Way I Remember You</i>.<br><br>
As of right now we don't have any live dates lined up. We've been much more focused on the CD project and we also have a lot of new material that we've been working on. Based on that we will <i>probably</i> not add any new shows until 2011...however...we are looking into <i>possibly</i> doing a live webcast via UStream some time before the end of the year. We will let you know all of the details when we have them. I have some concerns regarding the quality of the video and sound that I'm trying to work out first.<br><br>
That's all for now. Thanks again for your interest and support. Keep checking back here for more updates.<br><br><i>Jerry</i><br>

We didn't have a huge crowd but the people who were there seemed to enjoy what we were doing. If you are in the area please check out 2wenty Thre3.
