Title: Motorpsycho
Post by: Pekka on June 23, 2013, 04:43:45 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.

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.

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
