Matt Pratt

WRITER AND PHOTOGRAPHER
Matt Pratt is somewhat of a live music obsessive, having gone to 23 festivals in the last ten years, countless gigs, and even having made his choice of university based on the quality of the local music scene.

It was only a matter of time before he got involved, and having no apparent musical talent of his own, reviews and photography seemed like the best way.

If ever found outside of music, you will probably find Matt boring some poor soul about his latest nerdy obsession. This obsession could lie anywhere on the spectrum of things that you would not admit to liking as a child out of fear of being considered uncool.

Alas, Matt is proudly uncool now, and there is nothing anyone can do about it.
