ROXY 11 07 0251 Saint Motel Black and White Show: Concert Review

Saturday night at The Roxy. Despite the evening’s theme being the Black and White show, it was by far a most colorful event. Quite simply, if you weren’t there, you should have been. Shall we elaborate?

Saint Motel by no means is new to the live music scene, a fact made obvious by their confident yet gracious stage presence and a general suave work-the-room-ability. Their first performance at The Roxy ended up being pretty much anything a concert-goer could want and more. With performances by preceding acts Army Navy, Red Arrow Messenger, and Rumspringa, the curtains lifted to the band in an introduction to their hour-long or so set – which, by the looks of the crowd, was not going to be long enough.

Saint Motel Interview: Know Your LA Bands

Saint Motel Interview Know Your LA Bands Saint Motel Interview: Know Your LA Bands

BeatCrave is excited to bring you band, Saint Motel, as part of our Know Your LA Bands series. It’s not too often that you meet a band at a Thai restaurant, hear one of the band members speak fluent Thai, then have another band member tell you they’re honorary Thai guests. That or have one of their moms come in only to exclaim, “I have the fake blood!”

With Saint Motel, everything is extravagant but it’s all done in a very homemade way. This is another way to say that Saint Motel is one very hard working band who knows how to engage fans, look professional, yet also just be who simply they are: Four normal guys who met in film school and decided to start a band that would eventually rock the hell out of LA.  If you haven’t been to one of their shows, that needs to be added on to your “To-Do” lists, because it’s music fully enhanced. They make sure of it.

We got the chance to chat with Saint Motel about everything serious, silly, and anything in between. Check out this exclusive interview with the entire band and learn what they think about illegal downloading, how they changed digital purchasing, and well… their possible careers as match-makers!
