autodealer is basically Matt Richter and a whole bunch of broken guitar gear and a newfound basic understanding of Ableton Live. He started playing under the autodealer moniker in 2002, playing frequently around San Luis Obispo. He opened for bands like The Swords Project, MONO, Maserati, Landing and others. autodealer has returned to live performance, with sporadic dates throughout the year. maybe a live tab is on the horizon for this page?
In his spare time (insert laugh track here) he serves as half of the experimental ambient folk pop duo Lanfair Field with Bobby McElver. They've known each other for, like, forever, and have made music together off and on for almost as long. It makes more sense musically than autodealer, but Bobby knows what he's doing. Together they've released an EP, recorded at least one other (if Bobby ever gets it mixed) and wrote and recorded the score to the play "Asleep On A Bicycle" for the Elephant Theatre Company in Los Angeles.
more recently, matt has begun collaborating with jason lamoreaux (the corrupting sea) as the duo TRANSVERSE. they have two records released at present, with a third ready to go, and a fourth brewing in their collective heads.
So I think that's basically it, yeah? Here's a picture of Matt enjoying some time in the sun. Photo by the amazing Ken Sawyer.
