[…] The Motion Sick‘s “Grace Kelly” is the story of a woman profoundly obsessed with the modern values of fame, wealth, and beauty. Her identity erodes through inability to cope with a reality that fails to meet the demands of her sick fantasies until gradually, she withers to nothing.opening night in a town so quaint and sereneThe clock drips away for each of her brilliant fifteenThe bleachers are silent, clowns painting off their frownsThe routine’s the same; the sun rises up and then comes tumbling downShe wants a war so there’s something to cry aboutShe wants a death so that all of the tears can flowShe wants the credits so everyone can go home […]

[…] The Motion Sick2010 arrived with a bang as we rocked a New Year’s eve show with The Upper Crust and the Gentlemen. The greatest moment in my musical life arrived in early ’10 when a couple in Texas decided to use “30 Lives” as their first dance at their wedding. How awesome is that? (Very awesome!) Soon after, we experienced the bloodiest rock show of 2010. We recorded and released (to a sold-out Middle East), a lovely split 7″ with one of favoritest ever, Golden Bloom. We covered their “Doomsday Devices” and they covered our “30 Lives” and we love it! We also remixed, remastered, and remade better our 4 novelty songs recorded for our Ash Wednesdays residency at Church in 2008. We also made some little cut-up videos for “Aquaman’s Lament” and “I Grew A Mustache” and had people in Brazil covering our songs. […]
[…] It was really exciting to get a chance to do a mix of songs with Shawn Fogel and Josh Cohen. They performed 2 Golden Bloom songs and then I joined them to perform 2 Neutral Uke Hotel songs and 2 The Motion Sick songs. […]
