Pacifico

Despite first impressions, Pacifico is not a band. At its most tangible, Pacifico exists in the world as an audible collage: a musical patchwork slowly pieced together by a revolving door of both established and roaming musicians, each adding a unique, artistic inch to the project at hand. But if you didn’t know any of that, you might label it as the surprisingly well rounded solo project of one musician: a guy named Matthew Schwartz. Pacifico was started in 1999 as any normal band but after many years touring, recording demos and doing showcases the band had to part ways due to other adult responsibilities. It was then that Matthew decided to take Pacifico into a less committed approach which in return allowed him to work with artists he wouldn’t have previously been able to collaborate with. Pacifico now with a new focus started to record songs and release them independently, no longer waiting on others to make his music a reality. Matthew has since been finally able to self-release three full-length albums, “Thin Skin And An Open Heart”, “Without Heroes”, and "Everest". For their next single they decided to have every former member work together to celebrate 20 years of Pacifico. "When We Were Wild" was recorded in three states with three bands and then remixed all together for one recording showcasing all sixteen musicians and highlighting what has made Pacifico the band it is...collaboration
