Saint Motel (stylized in all caps ) is an American indie pop band from Los Angeles , whose music has been described as everything from dream pop to progressive indie .[1] [2] The band is composed of singer, songwriter, and producer, A. J. Jackson (lead vocals, guitar, piano), Aaron Sharp (lead guitar), Dak Lerdamornpong (bass) and Greg Erwin (drums).[3] [4]
Career
[ edit ]
2007–2011: ForPlay
[ edit ]
The group initially came together while Jackson and Sharp were attending film school in Southern California.[5] The duo later met Lerdamornpong at a sushi restaurant where he worked near campus and Greg who went to a school nearby. The band emphasizes visuals in addition to its music; their 2009 debut EP, ForPlay , included a video for each of the six songs.[6]
2012–2013: Voyeur
[ edit ]
The band's first full-length album, Voyeur , debuted at No. 18 on the alt specialty radio charts and six of its eleven songs charted on the Hype Machine Charts.[7] [8] [9] [10] [11] The album was praised by journals ranging from The Washington Post to Daytrotter . KCRW Music Librarian and DJ Eric J. Lawrence wrote, "They have attacked [the debut album] with gusto on Voyeur , adding dynamic touches to their rock-solid core of songwriting", and, "Overall the album is a satisfying package from start to finish".[12]
2014–2015: My Type
[ edit ]
The band released the EP My Type with Parlophone on August 17 in the UK.[13] [14] "My Type " climbed the Top 30 charts in many European countries including Italy where it was certified platinum.[15] The band embarked on two European and one US tour in support of the EP and were expected to release the full-length album later in 2015. In December 2014 Saint Motel announced that they had joined the Elektra Records roster.[16] Saint Motel appeared as the musical guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on ABC performing the songs "My Type" and "Cold Cold Man".[17] In April 2015, Saint Motel performed during both weekends on the main stage at the 2015 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival .[18] They also performed at Piqniq and the 2015 KROQ Weenie Roast .[citation needed ]
2016–2018: saintmotelevision
[ edit ]
On July 11, 2016, Saint Motel announced saintmotelevision , their second album, would be released on October 21, 2016. The band embarked on a North American tour in support of the album, with Hippo Campus and JR JR as supporting acts.[19] On August 12, Saint Motel released the album's first single, "Move", with an accompanying 360-degree video.[20] The song was featured in the EA Sports video game FIFA 17 . In September, in an exclusive with Billboard , they released another song from the album, "You Can Be You".[21] Saint Motel has released 10 virtual reality components, one for each song on the album.[22] This makes Saint Motel the first band to release an entire album with a virtual reality VR experience to accompany every track.[23] Saint Motel has continued to experiment with new technologies, releasing the first-ever augmented reality version of saintmotelevision as well as offering the option to purchase the albums ForPlay and Voyeur with Bitcoin.[citation needed ]
2019–2021: The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
[ edit ]
On October 16, 2019, the band released the EP The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack: Part 1 , the first of two extended plays consisting of songs from their third album, The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack .[24] On March 16, 2020, the band released the single "A Good Song Never Dies". This was part of the EP The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack: Part 2 , the second part of their third album.[25] In 2020, "A Good Song Never Dies" was featured on the soundtrack to the video game MLB The Show 20 . On June 25, 2021, the full The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack album was released, containing every song from both EPs, the previously-released single "It's All Happening", and four new songs.
2023–present: Saint Motel Studios
[ edit ]
On May 5, 2023, the band released their first single of what they describe as "Saint Motel Studios", a concept based on the classic Hollywood film studio system that they described more as a phase than an album.[26] [27] The new single "Everyone's A Guru Now" was quickly followed by "Fine Wine" on August 4, and “Slowly Spilling Out” on November 3.[28]
Live shows
[ edit ]
Saint Motel has created or performed at a variety of shows,[29] including The Kaleidoscopic Mind Explosion in 3D,[30] Future Fathers Day, The Black & White Show,[31] Make Contact, the 80/35 Music Festival in Des Moines, Iowa ,[32] and Valentine's Zombie Prom[33] and has toured with bands such as Band of Skulls ,[34] Nico Vega , Imagine Dragons ,[35] Races ,[36] Hockey ,[37] Arctic Monkeys ,[38] Weezer , and Lights .[39] Saint Motel performed at the 2015 Sanremo Music Festival in Sanremo , Italy, and at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.[40] On December 12, they performed in Live Out (Monterrey, Mexico). The band opened for Panic! At The Disco on their Death of a Bachelor Tour . Starting in 2023 the band began their latest endeavor, "The Awards Show Tour" which was modeled after a classic Awards Show program where the fans could vote on songs throughout the night.[41]
