Hello and welcome to Motel168 a place where you can just listen to some cool tunes and kick back your heels, flip flops or trainers and hang out with us. There aint nothing we like better than shooting the breeze with you so if you've got something constructive ,humorous or friendly to say. Please take up residence in our penthouse suite (top of the comment box) and make yourself at home. I should warn you though if your gonna place one of those 'thanks for the add banners or just plain thanks for the add' It will be DELETED although we understand people are busy and are perhaps just being courteous we are open 24/7 so you could just place us in your favorites until you have a little more time to give us. We feel it makes a mockery of some of the brilliant effort other people have given us by sending us humorous messages and banners. For further explanation read our blog.

Check this out it's hilarious something Phil and I did last Christmas i've only just heard it made us laugh....heaps : )

Here's a couple links to a couple of radio stations called JAZZY LOUNGE RADIO & GHP RADIO which are currently playing Motel168 in rotation you should definitely check it out there's heaps of good sounds there!!! To get there just look beneath at the links and choose one of them or both Voila!!

Then you'll be able to book, check in and have the musical Motel168 experience we would like our guests and friends to really have....;)


Pegy "What we're trying to do here is write songs that tell stories about all aspects of urban life. The tales of unrequited love, abuse, hope, joy, about the would be hero, all different aspects of lots of situations in most lives. It appears to me that there are a lot of 'Oh baby you're hot, or i'm hot, or i hate your guts, etc' type songs around these days. We wanted to express musically all our idea's some of them alternative in concept and present them to you in a way that you would find palatable. We also hope you will hear a lot of love has gone into our work. Please let us know if we got it right for you. Our debut album 'Tall Stories Big Lives' we are very excited about and we plan to post other tracks here soon for your enjoyment, sooo come back sometimes and have a listen to further tracks....;)"

Tall Stories Big Lives

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 3/14/2006
Band Website: motel168music.com
Band Members:


Christopher Appel (Keyboard, sax) Henrik Jensen (double bass), Patrick Davey (drums) Philip Hochstrate (piano, keyboard), Pegy Gaile (vocals)
Influences:

Pegy "I'm not really sure what my influences are, I like hip hop, so lots of bass and drums for me. I have to feel it in my hips and and my head just has to nod backwards and forwards if not, it just aint happening. I love melody and if I had to pin it down I guess I'd say Mr Mancini is the man, Stanley Clark for his bass playing, check out the album "School Days" Issac Hayes track (Walk On), Earth, Wind and Fire, Joni Mitchell, Ricki Lee Jones, Japan, Yazoo, Eurythmics, Quincy Jones, The Specials, Brass Construction and yes even Barbra Streisand and loads more in the pick 'n' mix of stonking good artists. Perhaps not the coolest influences musically but for now I'm sticking with 'em"

Philip "I was brought up with classical music and studied Jazz, so these are obviously strong influences. Over the last couple of years I've shifted more and more from playing piano to making music on the computer (which doesn't exclude piano-playing). It's hard these days to create something fresh and new entirely by acoustic means, I think. The computer offers an infinity of possibilities...."


Sounds Like: You can purchase our first single Tall Stories Big Lives from our debut album 'Tall Stories Big Lives' below....Enjoy!
