Motel Motel is a history of rock youth in a blender. They croon in the spiritof an old country ballad, but one careening through the tunnels and avenuesof their home base, New York City. Formed there in the fall of 2006, theyhoned their music in garages, kitchens, and basements until the February ofthe next year found them playing their first shows across the city andsurrounding states. Received with open arms both by claustrophobic bars inthe Lower East Side and the skyline-painted barns of Richmond VA, they findpeace in their dualities. Home for them is not the city; they hail from fourdistinct corners of the United States: Denver, Hawaii, Albany, and Virginia.For them, country rock is not the antiquated charm of the past, nor is rockand roll a commercialized beast of the present father both are the same: adesperate, loud rattling of America's motel rooms and their cloistered roadwarriors. In early May, Motel Motel recorded the EP Old York at a scatteringof studios, including Midtown Sound, UCC Studios, Jewett Sound, and others,and finished mixing at Sub Terra Engel Studios in Albany. The disc still warmin their hands, they headed out on an 11-date cross-country tour, from Bostonto Denver. Now living in Colorado and currently recording their first LP, NewDenver, they are cleaning the life of the road from their bodies. They arepreparing to meet all of America, and hope to eventually find their home.
