Music for… people who enjoy fun. I know I can’t frown with a Saint Motel song on. Its a good times dance party in my chair right now. But we all know the guy that we wont play this song for cause he wont like it cause he doesn’t like anything. What a grump. Why are we friends with him anyway? Saint Motel are better friends. Lets hang with them more often

If you are in Los Angeles this Thursday night then you know that the place to be is The Spare Room in Hollywood. This week I’ve got some great music lined up from TBE favorites and new comers. AJ Jackson from Saint Motel will be Djing sweet jams between sets. Nicky Blitz will be playing live and we will be hearing his latest killer song “Alex” which is awesome. And newcomer Jerome Holloway will be starting things off slow and soulful. Come out and hang with some great music and fantastic cocktails. And remember, its free!

For some reason I never really got into the Major Lazer original of “Get Free” but this Saint Motel version kicks up just enough jungle dust to get me moving. Damn. Where is my cocktail? Happy Friday!
Yes! Talk about getting you in the mood for the weekend. Bonus fact! The dad is the guy from The Black Keys’ “Lonely Boy” video. Can we get both of them dancing in a video next time!?

Any regular reader of The Burning Ear should know Saint Motel and their infectious jams, stellar music videos, and ass kicking live shows. The Burning Ear couldn’t be prouder to be presenting 2 out of those 3 things next weekend at the beautiful El Rey theater in Los Angeles. Saint Motel releasing their debut album Voyeur by playing with fellow TBE alums Chasing Kings and Princeton so it’s sure to be a damn good show. Grab your tickets on the cheap here (you can even get the album+ticket bundle for a steal!) and then come for a night of rollicking fun! Also head here to grab their new single “Benny Goodman” for free!

♫ Saint Motel – 1997
Saint Motel play "1997" live
For lots of thought on Saint Motel go here. For lots of rock from Saint Motel go back to yesterday where they rocked The Hudson Block Party, winning over innocent bystanders and confirming that these guys have way more up their sleeves then a few singles. These 4 LA dudes are made of equal parts serious rock and equal parts goofball and it’s what makes their music so charming. Nobody is taking themselves too seriously and that acts as an silent invitation for wallflowers to groove. The twilight of an outdoor mini-festival is one thing but I’m now really looking forward to catching these guys in a more intimate and sweaty locale. How about The El Rey on July 14th? Good, see you there.
