Hiho fine folks!
Popped up out of the ashes of ACTARUS, GANESHA, TCATEOTR, TIGER FERNANDEZ in april 04, we aka MOTB are 4 slobs based out of Esch/Alzette - Luxembourg/Europe. Our sound is something like straight mathy, time-signature-laden indierock/post-hc combining organic angularity with a taste for captivating melodies. We love the epic, the sombre, the tragic, the geekship and the hispano flair.
We have shared stages with the following bands: Portugal.The Man, Sleeping People, Cinemechanica, Meet Me In St. Louis, Honey For Petzi, These Arms Are Snakes, Engine Down, Coheed And Cambria, Maserati, Enablers, This Will Destroy You, Dartz!, The Lost Patrol Band, Alarma Man, Callisto, The End, Fear Before The March Of Flames, Heavy Heavy Low Low, 65 Days Of Static, Pelican, 31Knots, Barra Head, The Medications, Red Sparowes, Sometree, Ted Leo & The Pharmacists, Akimbo, Unwed Sailor, Efterklang, Achilles, The Psyke Project, Priestbird, Plokk, Scraps Of Tape, Last Days Of April, Eternal Tango, Trainwreck, The USA Is A Monster, Rolo Tomassi, Miaow Miaow, I Was A Cubscout, Danananan Aykroyd, Cancer Bats a.l.m.
In 2005, we've put out a 1000copies limited split ep (2005) with TREASURE CHEST AT THE END OF THE RAINBOW (R.I.P.), which contains the very debut songs. The split has been released and distributed by NEW ROMANCE FOR KIDS Rec. in Canada, partly Northern America and Japan.
In march 07, the unit has seen some member changes, since Dave decided to leave the band to surrender to his main occupation Eternal Tango. Longtime homie Pi joined the band to take over the (ball)grabber part.
At this very moment, we've finished recording the instrumental parts of our debut full-length and are about to finish the vocals and straight .. the mixing. Yet we couldn't agree upon the title of the record, but one thing's sure, it will contain 11 songs of herky jerky craftsmanship and it'll be out in 08. We'll keep you up on further details concerning the (cover artwork, lyrics, etc.) as soon as we have figured things out.
