Chances are if you are around my age (24) you may have never heard of the legendary late 80’s rock band, Motorcycle Boy or listened to their music, much less ever saw one of the shows shows (fuck I was in the 4th and 5th grade living in a suburban bubble) when they were selling out The Whiskey, The Roxy, The Troubador, Club Lingerie, and virtually every club in Hollywood. But now is your chance to make up for lost time and introduce yourself to Motorycycle Boy as they return this month for three shows (Loyola Marymount, Spaceland, and Safari Sams). Not to be missed as Motorcycle Boy has been in state of indefinite state of hiatus since the early 90’s when they disintegrated due to the typical excesses of drugs and alcohol, only performing together a couple of times since in NY around the time of the millennium.
MP3: Motorcycle Boy - Get Around
Get Around is from their now out-of-print masterpiece Popsicle, and you can download the whole album from eMusic.
Want to learn more about Motorcycle Boy, check out this piece at Sleaze Grinder and an interview with singer/bass player Francois at Hip Magazine.
Otherwise get ready relive or in my case just live a night of 80’s excesses when Motorcycle Boy returns to Los Angeles. Also IfAN favorites, Pretty Vicious, will be sharing the bill at Spaceland on August 10th and Safari Sams on August 24th, a damn fine pairing I must say.
