Canadian rock icon, Matthew Good will be on the BC leg of his cross Canada tour in support of his latest album �Arrows of Desire� which is set for release September 24th through Universal Music. However, the lead single from this disc �Had it Coming� was just released on i tunes May 28th, and already is getting numerous spins on rock radio stations right across the country.

The Matthew Good Band was a Canadian alternative rock band formed by Matthew Good that existed from 1993 to 2002. The band became one of the most successful rock bands of the 1990`s being nominated for a Juno award in 1998, for best new group and winning the award for the Group of the Year in 2000. The band dissolved in 2002, but Good pursued a very successful solo career and has enjoyed multiple hit records since that time.

The phrase, �if it ain`t broke, don`t fix it� doesn`t apply to Good. One of his defining characteristics is exactly the opposite of that popular axiom. Over his 2 decade career, Good has taken fans on a journey from the original Matthew Good Band, to Hospital Music, to his 2011 Juno-winning release, Vancouver, and Good continues to push into uncharted territory. �Arrows of Desire� marks the follow-up to 2011`s Endangered Species. A compilation disc, �Old Fighter� was released earlier this year.

Good has a place in Canadian music as one of Canada`s most relevant artists, clearly inspired by new influences artistically, yet remaining inherently recognizable
