About Goodbye Motel

goodbyemotel are a collective of artists who immerse themselves in music, art and film. The band combine music, film and photography to create a unique musical and visual live show experience. The band features members who are directors, editors, producers and photographers, but most of all, passionate musicians. The band perform live shows backed by a lighting and video show that they created themselves to add to the live performance experience. Each show has a theme attached to it which inspires the media content created for the show. The current show is called "end of excess". As well as these shows goodbyemotel also play straight live shows without the production extravaganza. While film is certainly relevant, writing great music is at the heart of the band. goodbyemotel’s music features crescendos, sparse arrangements and rich melodies combined with pop sensibilities to great something original. 2009 has so far seen goodbyemotel start to tour the "end of excess" live show as well as finish recording their debut album, which will be released later in the year. Storm Thorgerson, the album designer, who created album sleeves for Led Zepplin, Muse, Peter Gabriel and most of Pink Floyd’s covers including “Darkside of the moon” has agreed to do goodbyemotel’s artwork for their debut album. Being huge Pink Floyd fans this was a major coup for the guys who are incredibly proud to be working with Storm. 2008’s “end.play” EP received airplay on Australian radio including JJJ, RRR, PBS, 2ser and FBI. It also reached indie and Internet radio stations in the US and UK. “All that bad” was also released in the UK as part of a compilation CD. goodbyemotel wrote the song “ Watching you” for The Oaktree Foundation’s “End child slavery” campaign, which was sponsored by MTV, Myspace and Nova. The song featured in the campaigns national TV and MTV ads. To support the albums release goodbyemotel will be touring nationally and internationally as well as playing festivals such as the Blueprint festival in September 2009. “goodbyemotel successfully meld the sprawling Northern Soul-era The Verve with the accessible musicality of Death Cab For Cutie, it’s not too bold a statement to say Goodbye Motel are one of the finest indie rock bands currently plying their trade in Australia” Review Inpress Magazine “The sound of this Ep is the sound of a band capable of conquering the world, these are world class songs, brilliantly played and recorded" EP review by Jeff Jenkins Inpress Magazine “Your new favourite band =Goodbye Motel” Live review Spectrum Sydney, The Brag
