Sorta Like Very Ultra

Back in December of 2004 we played a show at the High Noon Saloon. We opened for a couple of kickin' bands. The headliners were Digibot and I remember that their lead singer stood about 7 feet tall and was dressed in a Santa outfit complete with a white beard that obscured his entire face. I've probably walked by him a million times since then and still don't know what he looks like.

The band that played right after us was Tangy. They had this great double guitar attack that was just the right amount of "in your face" and nicely tempered by some great lyrics. We've not played together since that night. Both Tangy and the Motor Primitives have gone through line-up changes and each band's sound have evolved quite a bit.

But, at last, we're together again! We'll be playing a show with Tangy and the August Teens on June 14th at the Frequency. The cool thing about this show is that we might just pull it together and have some CDs available of our most recent recordings...Maybe!

One thing IS for sure, Tangy's got a new album out and will have it available. I'm looking forward to picking up my copy! It's called Sorta Like Very Ultra and you can read a little about it here.

Hertz so good!

It's been a quite a while since the last MP posting. Various real life events have kept all of us away from the pixilated world of the computer screen. But for the hand full of people that actually read this blog we have a little bit of news.

We'll be playing a new club in town on Saturday, June 14th. The place is called The Frequency and it's located at 121 W. Main (where the old Slipper Club was). The club officially opens next week under the ownership of Darwin Sampson. There's a little article about the club here.

As for June 14th, we'll be the first of three bands starting at 9:30. Tangy is second followed by the August Teens. It feels like forever since we last played.

Go to this show!

Hey, all you Motor Primitives friends, go see Enter The Haggis at the Majestic Theater this Wednesday, May 14. You'll be glad you did. They rock. Seriously. Awesome bass player.

I tried to get the MPs on the bill, but failed most heinously. Maybe next time.
