Motorpsycho
« on: June 23, 2013, 03:43:45 AM »
Here's a great live video from 2008, dig Bent Saether's amazing playing and sound:


The song is from one of their best albums "Little Lucid Moments" (2008). Any other Motorpsycho fans here? I've been a fan since 2000's "Let Them Eat Cake". A much more mellow album of psychedelic pop but then again the band has never been a one-dimensional unit.

New to me... I'll give it a listen as soon as I can...
The random mind of a Silver Surfer...
If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

I liked that cut.  I've also never heard of them before.

Love the dueling NRs. You know anything about that bass. Almost looks like it's sporting darkstars.
Contrary to what James Bond says, a good Gibson should be stirred, not shaken.

It's built by Frank Stavem from Norway (as is Motorpsycho too). Bent has two, the other has a white pickguard and both have Darkstars.

Cool band!

We did discuss the Stavem NR Tbirds before here at the Outpost:

And a customer of mine had his BaCHbird transformed into a (righty) Bent Saether Bird

Just a few of my fav Motorpsycho tunes. From "Angels & Daemons At Play":


From "Blissard":


From "Trust Us":


From "Let Them Eat Cake":


From "Still Life With Eggplant":


Here's a history lesson, discography etc. A brilliant band that hasn't made any compromises through the years.
