Golden Bloom vs. The Motion Sick Release Show Live Videos!

We can't even begin to express our full gratitude for how wonderful it is to be able to be involved with playing music in Boston. It's an absolute pleasure to work with so many great bands and to have so many enthusiastic and kind people come to shows we put on. We all make music with the hopes that someone out there will find some joy and value in what we're doing. Friday was absolute perfection...great bands, great crowd, and a great sense of community. We were thrilled to have so many special guests join us on stage. It was an honor to share the split 7" project with Golden Bloom and we couldn't be happier about the result. Videos of the other bands that night coming soon, but for now, here's the trouble that we brought!

The Motion Sick vs. Golden Bloom - here we cover GB's "Doomsday Devices" with special guests Golden Bloom, Veronica Dale, and Chris Barrett.

Our mini-tour in band videos...

You already saw some fun tour videos from the Space a bit back. Here's a quick recap showing some video from the bands we've shared the nights with lately:


From Don Hill's:

Tayisha Busay


Sidewalk Driver


The Motion Sick (not sure if we performed wonderfully here as I was recovering from quite the stomach illness, but the lights and sound were so excellent that I figured these were worth posting for you all)



From The Space:

Smokestack and the Foothill Fury

Love Will Tear Us Apart: We've been sampled! (Along with 102 others)

Over at http://lifejustbounces.blogspot.com/2010/02/desert-island-dicks-love-will-tear-us.html, Desert Island Dicks have decided to celebrate Valentine's Day by sampling bits of 103 versions of Joy Division's quintessential classic "Love Will Tear Us Apart" including The Motion Sick's cover from 2008's _The truth will catch you, just wait..._ and splicing them together and/or layering them to form two new pieces, "Love Will Tear Us Apart (consecutive mix)" and "Love Will Tear Us Apart (simultaneous mix)" - free downloads at their blog post.


...and we're always proud to be part of experimental ventures like this!
