Aside from this Matt has been heavily involved with other local Northern Ireland acts such as Bluetree and Kowalski in an event management role.
He has also taken tentative steps into the world of acting, appearing in the three part maritime action adventure, Captain Beardseye as the eponymous hero.
In 2010 Gillespie was part of the original line up on the London based Cymbals_(British_band) but he left the group after their second album Age of Fracture in 2014.
Anderson is involved in myriad number of side-projects, the most recent of which are You Will Live Disco, Our Singapore Friends and The Motion Union.
