Find us a manager/label – we have begun the process of searching for a manager and a label. Read more about it on our blog at: http://www.the-motion-sick.com/2009/06/motion-sick-is-officially-looking-for.html. Feel free to contact us if you have any thoughts or leads!


Read our history – The first in a series of posts about the history of The Motion Sick is now available at: http://www.the-motion-sick.com/2009/06/brief-history-of-motion-sick-part-1.html. It covers the early days and the recording of Her Brilliant Fifteen.


Dance with us at the Arcades! Dance Dance Revolution X has just been released in North American arcades! Once we find a place that has it, you’ll see some video of us dancing along. Until then, here are some fine folks from Asia (where the game has been out longer) doing just that: http://www.the-motion-sick.com/2009/06/hang-out-with-motion-sick-at-your-local.html


30k for “30 Lives” – Help “30 Lives” get 30,000 views on Youtube – at first, we thought, let’s go for 25,000, but now we’ve decided to round it up to a nice even campaign of 30k for 30 Lives! We’re hoping to get our Youtube video for “30 Lives” viewed 30,000 times and we need your help!

So, please help us pass this link around to reach goal of 30k views of “30 Lives”

Tips for bands! We care about you too and want to give a little back. So, if you’re in a band and you wonder how we do it all, we’re going to start providing a series of articles revealing things that we’ve found useful in our attempts to conquer the world. The first article, 11 Sites and Services that are Essential to Bands is now available at: http://www.the-motion-sick.com/2009/06/11-sites-and-services-that-are.html


Love and flowers,
