I, Colossus is the music of Matthew Sandstedt. Matthew has studied
music from a young age and is well versed in violin, guitar, bass,
and keyboard and uses his experience to great effect when
composing his music. Drawing on influences ranging from oldies
such as the Beach Boys and Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, to
more contemporary acts, such as Radiohead and the Rapture, I,
Colossus creates a unique, yet familiar blend of sonority.
Matthew's role in I, Colossus does not end with writing and
playing his music either. Matthew Sandstedt, and his brother and
fellow band mate, Michael Sandstedt, own and operate their own
recording studio in which they recorded their debut album due for
release on Afternoon Records in late November. This unrivaled
creative control offers a snapshot into Matthew's creative world
that is rare in the music industry today.
Matthew Sandstedt is no stranger to the Minneapolis music scene.
Matthew formerly fronted the Afternoon Records band, Aneuretical.
Having played and toured with his former bands since the age of
14, Matthew has garnered a great deal of experience and
musicianship and continues to build on these as he continues to
work passionately in I, Colossus. Currently, Matthew balances his
time between attending the U of M for psychology and playing in I,
Colossus. The members of I, Colossus include Matthew Sandstedt as
the singer, bass player and keyboard player, Michael Sandstedt on
computer, and Scott Johnson and Mat Johnson on guitar.
