Matchbox Twenty, a successful rock band that originated in Orlando, Florida, consists of the four members lead singer Rob Thomas, lead guitarist Kyle Cook, rhythm guitarist Paul Doucette, and bass guitarist Brian Yale. Their albums, “Yourself or Someone Like You” (1997), “Mad Season” (2000) and “More Than You Think You Are” (2002), sold over 45 million copies worldwide. After taking a break from the road for four years, they released their latest album, “Exile on Mainstream” (2007), which debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200.
During their four year break from the road, Rob Thomas released his own solo album, “…Something to Be” (2005), which topped the U.S. Billboard 200 at No. 1 in its first week. Once they returned as a group in 2007 with their album’s hit singles “How Far We’ve Come” and “These Hard Times”, Matchbox Twenty toured the U.S. in early 2008 with Alanis Morissette.
Matchbox Twenty cancels rodeo show
Out of their concern for the treatment of the animals, Grammy winning rock band Matchbox Twenty has canceled its July 18 show at Cheyenne Frontier Days in Cheyenne, WY, because the festival features rodeo events.
The band is currently on the European leg of their Exile in America tour, but in a post on its website, lead singer Rob Thomas said, “After careful consideration, it was decided that participating in this event would directly contradict the mission statement of Sidewalk Angels Foundation, our non profit organization. The other members of Matchbox Twenty support this decision and while we understand that a great deal of effort went into the planning of this show, (sic) and apologize to any and all fans who purchased tickets to see us. We ask that they please understand that it would be impossible for us to put ourselves in the position of making money from what we believe to be the mistreatment of animals.”
