News and New Material from Matt Costa

A few things have happened since we last checked in with Brushfire artist and Huntington Beach resident Matt Costa. Though he's been MIA for the last few months, it seems like he's back, but not without a few new developments.

His Facebook page just posted this semi-new (recorded in August, it seems) YouTube vid of a live performance of some new material, a song titled "Miracle Drug" that he has performed live. Appearing with him? His new wife, Casey. Aw.

Costa also seems to be starting fresh with a whole new band (as announced on the official Brushfire Records Twitter account) and, as we discussed previously, will be embarking on a mini-hometown small venue tour around Southern California in November.
