Welcome to EKA205! Today we are joined by Jon Devoto, guitarist for the Oakland CA band The Matches. Full disclosure (as you'll clearly be able to tell) I am a rather big fan of The Matches. Maybe one of my 5 favorite bands of my formative years, so this was a special chance for me to ask questions as a fan AND a fake journalist. Jon talks about the recent run of shows, why we don't see them at more festivals, which album is his favorite, working with so many producers on Decomposer (Nick Hexum, Mark Hoppus, John Feldmann, etc) and so much more.
Along with band stuff, Jonathan was also kind enough to talk about his personal life. From his days as an overly hyper kid doing pushups, to his battle with Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy plus his current work helping others in the same position. We also have some fun taking shots at that jabroni jerry seinfeld.
This was an incredibly special episode for me, on a personal level. I hope you enjoy, and many thanks to Jon for doing this.
