Matt Jaffe and the Distractions - band to watch?

Few things - yes he is young (18)
Yes he has touches of Elvis Costello and The Talking Heads in him.  That good, becasue Jerry Harrison of the Talking Heads heard Matt perform at an open mic.

The trio is still working on new material, but in the meantime check out their first single
Back of Our Eyelids

His official site is here so be on the lookout.
