WTH Bio:
Life began for this band in the spring of 1995, when bassist,
Matt B. Mahoney, met guitarist, Aaron Douville, then a rival in
a dormitory talent show at UC Berkeley. During the next two years,
Douville and Mahoney laid down the foundations of their first
album, "Songs From the Book of Ken Jones". After a few music classes
at the University, these skeletons of songs were embellished with
numerous influences ranging from classical to traditional folk
music. Combine this with deep, intriguing lyrics, and… Soon, the
duo realized that they needed a driving force behind the strings.
This brought about the induction of drummer, Tobias Black. Following
a mutual split late in the year 2001, Matt B. Mahoney recruited
his brother, Chuck, a gifted, steady drummer. Together, they cut
the follow-up album, "Chicanery for a Common Rube".

Matt B. Mahoney plays the majority of the stringed and keyed instruments.
At the young age of six, he took up the classical guitar, encouraged
by his parents to become a concert musician. As time progressed,
the desire for different tonality and timbre overcame him,
and he bought an electric guitar. However, it was not until the
summer of 1996 that he began to seriously play bass (after many
failed attempts to find a competent bassist for the band). Following
countless hours of practice, Matt Mahoney has become the bassist
and guitarist you hear today.
“Young” Chuck Mahoney, now takes the throne that
was once Black’s. Tobias’s shoes were hard to fill
due to his dense drumming and timely bursts of energy. Chuck Mahoney
counters with a tight, steady groove, very Jazz-like in origin.
His incredible dynamics bring much to the band. Chuck's mastery
of the English language makes for intriguing lyrics, always challenging
the mind of the listener.
Wyld Type Hybrid released their third studio album,
"Placebo, Please?" in 2005. The brothers Mahoney are back in the studio
for the follow-up. |
