If you’ve run into Mike or I in the last month (or, if you’re friends with us on any variety of social networks) you’ve undoubtedly been barraged with the fact that we’re headed out on our very first tour! We’re a little bit freaked … Read More
The votes are still being counted (also, I don’t think we actually care who won, nor do we even know what we were running for, but hey…), but the videos are in from the show! The night opened with the … Read More
The ever problematic Agent Bishop has caved in to mass hysteria and demand for a piece of memorabilia designed to celebrate my frequent use of the “like” option on Facebook. I present to you, his creation (initially made in short … Read More
Thursday, July 15th we’re very excited to play our very first show in our hometown of Somerville at PA’s Lounge! We’ll be debuting two new songs we’ve been working on, Episode 5: Free For All, and Episode 8: The General! … Read More
Once again, a link between scantily clad dolls and The Motion Sick’s “30 Lives (Up-Up-Down-Dance Mix)” has been found…
Our opponents in The Rock Primary are spewing totally slanderous garbage. You’ll be hearing our response to these allegations soon and our opponents will be hearing from our lawyers soon!

Well, The Motion Sick’s “30 Lives (Up-Up-Down-Dance Mix)” has been caught up in the debate between the vampires and werewolves (or whatever the story is) as these girls argue about Twilight while driving in Hawai’i. The song is actually only … Read More
We had the distinct pleasure of performing on Bay State Rock with Carmelita on WAAF on 06/27/2010. We took “acoustic” to its most epic and silly conclusion, ukulele and glockenspiel, of course! Because we didn’t think that playing our drums/bass … Read More
Presently, we have two songs in Pandora’s system. We’re hoping to get more in, but there are a lot of complex and annoying barriers to this happening. Regardless, I thought it would be interesting to see what Pandora recommended to … Read More
Show tomorrow, 6/25 at The Middle East Upstairs in Cambridge, MA. It’s psychedelia-inspired 28 Degrees Taurus’ CD Release. The haunting and shoegazing Static of the Gods headline and Banditas open the night (we should be on second). FB Event – … Read More

Hello Friends! Just wanted to give you all a quick update to let you know what we’re up to. The Motion Sick has decided to wrap up the 4-song recording we’re working on, play a couple more shows, and then … Read More
I can’t really understand a word of this, but it appears that these folks are using “30 Lives” to help teach you about getting ripped abs.
Pick up a copy of The Boston Phoenix this week to check out our interview with Barry Thompson (or click the link to read it online)! We had a really fun (if evasive) interview with Barry in our kitchen – … Read More
At least I was. Okay, still am. Before I get to that, I’ve got a million blog posts to write for this blog, but I keep getting distracted and wondering if they should go in separate blogs or what. I … Read More
To be honest, I’ve tolerated making music for people for this long while ever patiently awaiting the rise of artificially intelligent robots that take over the world. Until now, I’ve wept daily because I’ve never been able to fulfill my … Read More
Friends, We’ve got some things to tell you about:1. Show tomorrow at The Middle East Downstairs2. Free MP3s for you! (…and new music from The Motion Sick!)3. Strange Youtube Videos Featuring the Music of The Motion Sick4. Radio Sampler — … Read More
Embedding is disabled on this one, which kind of makes me angry, but these guys are using “Surfin’ Retiree” to sell some $3.4 million beachfront property. That makes me laugh…
This jerk thinks it’s okay to sit on this tiny horse that can barely support him. I hate him. I like “Surfin’ Retiree” though.
For most people, The Motion Sick and golf go hand-in-hand…well, at least for this person who likes to putt (in slow motion) to “Winged Bicycle”
What’s better than a song about Hershey’s? A song about Hershey’s with The Motion Sick’s “Walk on Water” playing in the credits…
In honor of George Romero visiting us here in Boston to promote his new movie, _Survival of the Dead_, here’s some dude that dances like he’s a zombie or something, but at least he dances to “30 Lives (Up-Up-Down-Dance Mix)” … Read More
Someone windsurfing along to “Aquaman’s Lament” by The Motion Sick. I will say that while the song is of legendary rock status, windsurfing looks pretty boring.
I’ve actually never been skiing, but if I did/do/will ever go, I will totally scoot along to The Motion Sick’s “30 Lives (Up-Up-Down-Dance Mix)”
I’ll let the “filmmaker’s” words say it all: “Opposites exist in this world and whether its chaos and order or sadness and happiness they exist and we need to understand that without one thing the other would not exist.” Well, … Read More
We hadn’t quite had creepy like this yet. A naked cartoon lady (NSFW and probably in violation of Youtube’s rules) swims and stands on a beach while listening to The Motion Sick’s “The Most Beautiful Dead Girl.”
This individual made a video thanking people that another video they made has surpassed 100 views…and they thought The Motion Sick’s “30 Lives” was the right accompaniment. I can’t argue with them there.
Murray the Ghost dog vanishes and reappears with ease (and some bad editing) to the tune of “Thundarr”
“30 Lives” and funny animals. Nothing more to say.
I didn’t think this video of some guy having his head shaved to “30 Lives” was all that weird really until I read the comments:mec75mec75 Very sexy! unesz1990 hi ! do you have a video that a girl shave for … Read More
Talk about taxonomic transgression…“Tiny Dog” and GIANT goldfish (I think they are goldfish, but I really have no idea).
Stop-motion pies and “30 Lives”
Yup, some young girls being goofy at the library to “The Most Beautiful Dead Girl.”
I’ve already posted about this on our regular blog, so it’s not quite new. However, this video is probably my favorite thing that has ever happened with any music that I was involved in making. These fine folks in Texas … Read More
Here’s a kid being pushed on a tricycle to the sounds of “Winged Bicycle”
Skateboarding to “The Most Beautiful Dead Girl”
“A Tribute to the Delta’s great 767” – sure…what the heck? As someone who gets motion sick (true), I am not all that fond of air travel, but I guess it’s better if it’s soundtracked by “Satellite” by The Motion … Read More
Rob Potylo has shed his Robbie Roadsteamer moniker and character, but he still has feet in both the local worlds of comedy and music. Rob has been busy making a crazy reality sitcom about the arts scene (and his life) … Read More
I love it, love it, love it! “30 Lives (Up-Up-Down-Dance Mix)” karaoke!
Mike and I had the distinct pleasure of participating as extras (ahem, “talent”) in this music video for the song “Winterthru” by Ad Frank and The Fast Easy Women. The video is great (certainly check out the other videos from Lost … Read More
Well, not one, not two, not three, but FOUR videos of a dog with a “wheelchair” set to the fine melodies of “Winged Bicycle,” making for a beautiful triumph of dog over hardship.
Yuck yuck yuck yuck! Hey, it’s “The Owls Are Not What They Seem” (instrumental)…oh, and yuck!
We are HUGE Hannah Montana fans, so when she decided to cover “Aquaman’s Lament,” we were delighted!
April 3rd at Church of Boston – we released our brand new EP, The New Number 2 (go to music.donotforsake.com for info on how to buy). Thank you to everyone who came out to help us celebrate and a huge … Read More
Not legal, not safe, not smart, but “30 Lives (Up-Up-Down-Dance Mix)” is good stuff…
Yup, some young girls moving their hips to “Jean-Paul” is extremely disturbing. Then, suddenly, their little male friend runs onto the scene in his underwear and shakes his butt. This video is bad, bad, bad. I don’t like it. I … Read More
Our EP was officially released on April 3rd at Church of Boston (with some wonderful bands – another post on that soon!) and we really felt the love from the Boston community leading up to the show. Here’s the run-down … Read More
