Hey guys Phil and i pretty muched finished the album a couple of months a go. Then Pete Norris (he's the guy who produced and co-produced the Morcheeba albums) had a listen and thought a new mix would tweek the goodness out of it. Well he's been at it and all i can say is that he is right it's all sounding super coooool. We may only ever sell a couple but they'll be getting a very quality CD indeed...; )

We had our first inteview as a band a couple of weeks a go now. Should be out in May they say. Talk about sounding like a duffus but it's done now. Lots to say but don't know if it's at all relevant. Everybodies got an opinion about everything. Sooo I guess there will be a couple more clogging up the airways at some point. It's all good though well i hope it is! : )

Jazzy Lounge We're all a couple of days away from Valentines day and Philip and I are certainly feeling the love. We're so excited to have made Jazzy Lounge's top twenty with two of our songs in one month is completely gobsmacking. We're very busy this end and i don't seem to have as much time to while away chatting with some of the super coooool people I've met online. I can only say my memories long and we will be in touch hopefully sooner than you all think! Here's what what the crew at DJ Jazzy Lounge told us: ******************** When songs are penned well and production values are high, the potential for airtime increases. So it's been for Jazzy Lounge- broadcasting, so far, four tracks from your album, Tall Stories Big Lives. I've even been able to win the heart of my brother for Motel168. This morning he said I'm really loving this group. He's heard all four tracks and he's particularly fond of "Stronger" and "Poor Me." Give a good track air time, and you're sure to win fans. Thanks for the opportunity to broadcast your tracks! DJ Jazzy L and...... Please CONGRATULATE Motel168 on their fine tracks. Motel168's "Poor Me" and "Stronger" from Tall Stories Big Lives is Number 4 and 17 on Jazzy Lounge radio for the week of January 10th!!! Thanks to everyone for your support of Motel168's releases. ******************** They'll still be bobbing around in the ether for a while yet so you'll all get to hear them when you listen to the station's fab shows. We at the motel love good music and we're trying to continue to make sure that what we contribute musically will be the best we can do. Thank you guys for all your support we appreciate it! Pégy and Philip : )

Protrude Records is here to promote artists that we consider to be excellent. They should have unreasonably good ability at writing and producing music with a burning desire to showcase and project their work onto a world that might be better for it. This we know is a very lofty attitude but we fervently believe that great things still can happen musically in this world of ours. We consider music far too important to be flighty, and throw away. We therefore strive to promote and produce records we feel could make a difference to someone. We have all been touched by wonderful lyrics over the years by various artists. Songs that sneak under your skin because they speak to you in such away they are difficult to ignore. Music that becomes the backdrop to pain, love, and experiences are always accompanied by some songs or melody you cannot forget as time goes by. We introduce to you then Motel168 who we consider to have these qualities....... Motel168 is a studio based partnership of Philip Hochstrate and Pegy Gaile. The songs that these two write together will have you absolutely wondering how come you haven't heard of them all ready. They write rich, warm, and above all solid songs imbued with good orchestration and strong lyrical ability. If after listening to their music you do not end up nodding your head, or tapping your feet. Well then my friend, you may have something wrong with you. They write and produce infectious songs which you cannot help be charmed by. They are always saying we write big songs, they desire to make grand musical statements which sonically take you somewhere good or reflective. What we love about them is their ability to take the simplest of song ideas and present it a way so shockingly fresh it becomes beautiful in its simplicity. You will hear this quality through all of our Protrude Records releases. Enjoy!!! Protrude Records

Excited!!!

Sooo here we are finally, we're both really excited about being able to bring you our songs. They have all been written with you in mind. I personally wanted to write songs that would hopefully inspire others. To try to make something that has heart and intelligent lyrics that upped the game somewhat in terms of urban music. Here are our offerings. It would be nice to read what you think. You can also contact us at http://www.myspace.com/motel168 it will be nice to see you there too....;))
