The Motion Sick:
Friends!
Lots of excitement!
We've got shows in Boston, CT, NYC, and Philly; we need your help to earn
a little money via our new song for you to download for free; "30 Lives"
makes for a great first dance at your wedding. Also, a little news about a bunch
of forthcoming releases including 2 EPs and a 7". Catch us now because after February,
we'll be taking an extended break from playing live to do some recording.
First, the shows:

Download our novelty song, "Surfin' Retiree" free - click on
"Current Contenders" and scroll down to The Motion Sick - if we get into the top
7 most downloaded in our group of 50 this week, we also earn $500, which we could
really use toward finishing our next batch of songs, so we appreciate the help.
We're out of the running by about 25 downloads now, so please download it, repost
this, forward the e-mail on to friends, etc. We appreciate any help you can provide!

It's slightly annoying that you have to become a fan of "Windows"
on Facebook, Twitter, or Myspace to do this, but becoming a fan is pretty meaningless
anyway, so hop to it...
The song is part of our 4 song novelty
EP that will be released digitally very soon. The EP is a remixed, remastered,
and sometimes reeverythinged collection of our Ash Wednesday residency theme songs.
The first single, "Aquaman's Lament" has a music video that has just hit 10,000
views. Definitely check it out if you haven't yet seen it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ueeySSBI1J0.
Getting married? We now have
evidence that "30 Lives" makes for a great wedding first dance. These kind Texas
folks showed us how it's done:

You'll hear more soon, but in addition to the
novelty EP mentioned earlier, we've got a couple of other upcoming releases.
We're very excited to be releasing a split 7" single with the fine
band Golden Bloom next month. The split will contain our cover of their hit, "Doomsday
Devices" and their cover of our wedding-first-dance favorite, "30 Lives," both tweaked
for optimal foot stomping. We recently picked the winning cover in our artwork
contest. Check out the winner and the runners-up at: http://www.the-motion-sick.com/2010/01/golden-bloom-vs-motion-sick-artwork.html.
Finally, and most mysteriously, after February, we will go into hiding
in a soundproof bunker buried in the deepest depths of the ocean to record our most
brutal, terrifying, and jovial set of songs yet. We won't be playing any shows
during that time, at least not until Lady Gaga or Slayer calls and asks us to join
her/them, so you had best come to one of our upcoming shows or miss us for many
months...
Fistbumps, nods, hugs, and/or kisses,
