the Mat TREIBER group has been through a lot of incarnations since Mat, at 19 left his hometown montreal for the big apple and beyond. for the past four years however, TREIBER has played with british musicians, in their 20s as he – adept players who like TREIBERs brand of old school rock.

currently performing as a trio, as was passionately suggested to him by legendary rocker terry reid, who introduced him at a show in los angeles. Mat seems to have attracted a good deal of this kind of attention and cred: brit rock writer terry rawlings has said TREIBER reminds him of a young peter frampton and Mats even gotten to play keith richards guitars! chuck berry’s publishers have said, “this is the kid who could do it.” (cover a chuck berry song?!)

but TREIBER himself finds his favorite moments in life are ones in which have to do with the actual music. one show at johnny depp’s viper room in hollywood had a young man rush from the toilets to see “who was playing guitar like that,” as he told Mat afterward. another new fan in London screamed after a show, “come back here or i’ll kill you!”

Mat currently lives in england. drummer claude trejonis since 2004, and bassist tom white currently play shows with Mat. A snippet of music can be heard on ‘news’.
