In the beginning, there was Matt Nye. He had a vision, a musical conception he dubbed Outlet, to reflect the escapist quality of musical composition. Originally envisioned as a solo project, he recruited the percussionist aid of Ross Gelches in the Winter of 2000. After several jamming sessions, the two created a tight bond that would solidify the vision of Outlet as a full band endeavor. As the summer approached, with the promise of several opening gigs, the two-some searched for a bassist to round out the band. Patrick Morse agreed to play bass for Outlet and the band lineup has thus remained.
Although the band members have had some musical training in the past, all have learned their current instruments almost exclusively by rugged self-determination. Due to the lack of rigid training, the Outlet sound is highly imperfect and unpolished; instead, it encompasses a rougher honesty that comes through most notably in the group's latest efford, Binaray.
Outlet has played over a dozen shows this year, largely within the local southeastern Pennsylvania region, including West Chester, Kennet Square, and Philadelphia. Predictably, the band has experienced their share of small/tiny shows, but refusing to be daunted by the freshmen blues. However, the following that has formed in the wake of outlet's energetic performances is sstrong. The worry to grow more popular is nonexisitent' the people who respond enthusiastically to Outlet will have nothing to do with the band's commercial success, which is a distant third to the primary goals of the band, which are to create music and have fun doing it, in that order.
The future of Outlet is not entirely clear. With the successful completion of Binary, the band is ready to perform the new material anywhere possible. Radio stations, record labels, and of course audiences will be experiencing Outlet. The band only knows there will be "no goodbyes" in the near, or distant, future.
