Indie Rock Duo Known for Singles Like "Yeah Yeah" and "Daylight"

Matt & Kim are an indie rock duo residing in Brooklyn, New York City, New York. The group was formed in 2004 and is composed of Matt Johnson (vocals/keyboards) and Kim Schifino (drums/vocals).

Their first album on a record label was the self-titled “Matt & Kim” released in 2006 on the iheartcomix label. Their second album, “Grand,” was released on January 20, 2009 on Fader Label. “Grand” reached #165 on the Billboard 200 chart and #4 on the Billboard Top Heatseekers Chart.

The video for the single "Lessons Learned", in which the duo strips nude in Times Square, was shot in February 2009. The duo state that the police intervention seen in the video was not staged, and the police left them alone after they told them they had a permit to shoot a mayonnaise commercial.
