After taking a long break, Matty formed PATTERSON'S CURSE, who released a self-titled CDEP on AuGoGo Records.Patterson's split up after drummer Greg Bainbridge joined Kim Salmon and the Surrealists (and became a father!) Matty switched to guitar (for the first time in a live-role) and formed the 3-piece SAUCE.

Sauce is gone now, but Matty's 7-piece experimental/instrumental project OFFAL PUMP has hit the Melbourne pub-circuit (HAVE A LISTEN TO OFFAL PUMP).

The kid's name is Tim Meatcleaver, and along with three other disciples sent down from the heavens - Matty Mustang, Joel Rock'n'Roll and Sean Scorpion - is commonly known amongst the Melbourne music world as God.

"I walked through the gates of Northcote Municipal Tip, in search of Matty Mustang.I was told that this is where he comes to find inspiration.It's a different world around here. After trudging through piles of garbage for a few hours , I see a wino in a brown overcoat.He's hunkered down, leaning toward a pitiful fire fuelled on plastic and other toxic refuse.Only on closer inspection do I recognize my man. Matty stinks of stale alcohol, and his face is covered with slime and dirt.

Later MATTY was drafted in to play drums.This band only ever played 3 songs at a "shared-set" gig which also included Foot and Mouth and The Hairy Brain.One Farouk Brothers' song "Otherworldly" later emerged on Hoss's "Guzzle" LP. THE HAIRY BRAIN only played 2 songs at this shared gig, being MY PAL and LOVE YOU TO DEATH.We all enjoyed this gig so much we referred to it as the "GOD" gig, later deciding to adopt the name for the band.Out of all these bands, Hairy Brain/GOD was the band we least expected to get anywhere at the time. THE WILD ROCK 'N' ROLL MUSTANGS were MATTY - drums, JOEL - guitar, SEAN - bass, and originally KEN PARK - bass.
