motorPSYCHOS - punk/metal female band from the 'burgh
-----
I ran into the 2nd CD of this band this summer at a flea market. It was entitled "Piston Whipped" (maybe they meant "pissed 'n whipped"?). I had the opportunity to hear the first song, "primer" and fell in instant 'like'.
They are a punk/metal female (3 girls and one lucky guy) band from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania USA. They are playing in the bars there. They are NOT a cover band, they write and do their own songs - very talented, great lyrics and not bad looking.
To get an idea of how good they really are 'live', watch this video of a song they do called "Primer"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcFwdrsxA1I
There are 3 more videos on youTube to watch; Suzy Sydal and Bullshit are great songs but the video sound is poor. I get a kick out of them live in 'Pittsburgh 10/30/04' though - remember it was Halloween then.
Check'm out.

some downloadable tunes may be found here from their upcoming 3rd cd:

I'm going to the 'burgh tonight to see them at a place called the Rex Theater - $US2.00 20 oz. beers all night long.
Some lyrics I can remember from "Primer":
flat primer gray ... resurrection from the grave ... frankenstein of metal ... this is the day to breathe ... dust in my wake

Re: motorPSYCHOS - punk/metal female band from the 'burgh
There were several bands playing in succession at the 'gig' last night. While waiting for their turn to play, I got the opportunity to talk to each of the band members and 'hang out' with one or two for a while. Priceless.
When their turn came, they played songs from their new (3rd) CD which is coming out in January. Three of them you can download as .mp3's from their webpage; matriarch, monster and mudbucket.
I got to stand right up close to the stage. I think Pam caught me watching her perform closely and she winked at me!
Yeah ... I had a good time.

Re: motorPSYCHOS - punk/metal female band from the 'burgh
I have just been informed ...
The Girls Rock & Girls Rule! Tour is all over the east coast. For tour dates of the core band see their myspace website:
http://www.myspace.com/girlsrockgirlsrule
As they say "if you want curves in your rock ...", go see them.
I'm game (and I get to see local bands, Lovebettie and MotorPsychos, too!)

Re: motorPSYCHOS - punk/metal female band from the 'burgh
I found a new cassette(?) of the Dead Milkmen's "Big Lizard in my Backyard" for a quarter at a car cruise. I bought $US4.00 worth of brand new punk music on cassette from the 80's there.
I sent the output to my computer and burned it to CD. I knew "Bitchin' Camaro" but I found this whole CD quite entertaining. It has now joined the other CDs down in the garage and I play them when I'm working on my "toys". A copy has found its way to where I draw, too.
The very cream of the crop, to me, is the above and V.F.W. (we're all veterans of a *ucked up world!) and Right Winged Pigeons (from Outer Space).
Check'm out.

PS I forgot to add this was a garage band that made it big enough to go on tour. They made it to the 'burgh, too.

This is frame 30 of a 'fireball' animation I did.

If you have been reading one of my other threads, namely,
the Illustrated pulse jet in 3D,
then you know I am involved with the problem of drawing an effective flame/exhaust for my pulse jet models.
I have been 'fooling around' with a fireball idea and so, I decided to put a logo I drew for the band 'into the fire' - heat treated maidens of metal!
Anyways, here it is ... and I think it came out pretty nice, eh?

Wow "The Dead Milkmen" -- I went to high school with "Dean Clean" and Dave Reckner.
Have you ever had a chance to see the Ritual Space Travel Agency or Coinmonster out your way?

I thought this to be great cover art for this weekend's gig.
