Motor Ace

[TheMase]

I have been listening to them since mid '99'.

What does everyone think of them?
I think they are great, a genuine aussie rock band. They have a unique sound, and all their songs sound different.

My favourite song would have to be Chromakey.
Most of you wouldn't have heard this, as it was on their first release, their EP.

There are the songs they have produced to date:

Chairman of the Board
Chromakey
Criminal Past
Lowrider
Fluke

Hey Driver
Death Defy
Five Star Laundry
Lorenzo
Budge
American Shoes
Siamese
Freefall
Enemies
Money and Sympathy

Spiritual Hand
Never Give Up
End is real

Motor Ace will begin the recording of their follow up album on 14th Jan 2002.
They expect the release of this album to be around June and first single in April.

I cant wait

Very good band...hard working too.

Favourite song is Siamese or Death Defy - which I saw them play for the very 1st time.

 

[Beausgirl43]

Well Masey you know what I think about them.

Love Chromakey ... awesome song.

cheers ...

top band

I'm a big fan, Five Star Laundry is a top album. My fav song would have to be Enemies.

Can't wait for the new album!

I'm not much of a fan. I saw them by accident a couple of years back. They were supporting Suze DeMarchi at the Prince of Wales. I thought the singer was too nasally.

They sing that theme song for The Secret Life of Us don't they?

 

[Nic]

Like em a lot - fave song would probably be siamese.

Fantastic band. I wasn't aware of them until about a year or so ago and I bought five star laundry the day it came out. I haven't heard much of their old stuff but my fave tracks would have to be Death Defy (not happy that it's used on Secret Life Of Us), Chairman of the Board and Hey Driver.
Did anyone see them on Cold Live at the Chapel? I taped it and still watch it every now and again.

 

[Rod Stroker]

I like them. Favourite song would be Five Star Laundry (named after Five Star Laundry on Johnston Street in Collingwood for some useless trivia).

Shouldn't this be on the Music board?

 

[JADED]

Epic old thread.
I bought five star laundry & shoot this way back in the day.
Good Aussie band for sure.
Horsehead (from Melbourne) were another great Aussie band that didn't get the cred they deserved. (opened for the likes of Metallica, Live, Alice Cooper etc in the 90's/2000's)

 

[TheStinger]

I remember seeing them at The Jam Factory in Adelaide a while back. They finished their set and their manager told them that Shoot This had just gone to number one that night. So they came back out and said that they were going to play two encore songs but they had just found out they had gone to number one so they were going to just keep playing. I think they played everything they knew. It was like a nine song encore.

Good value for money.

 

[DrParrot]

A band I discovered too late would have loved to see these guys live

 

[volcboy]

Underrated band. This was always my favorite song of theirs - glad to see it was popular with some other posters (back in 2001 at least):

 

[Necromancer Beth]

I like them. Favourite song would be Five Star Laundry (named after Five Star Laundry on Johnston Street in Collingwood for some useless trivia).

Shouldn't this be on the Music board?

My fav song is five star laundry as well. I have lived most of my life in Collingwood/Fitzroy area. I know exactly where you are talking about

 

[bradrowe#32]

Saw them about 12 years ago when they played with Something For Kate and maybe Deloris. "Carry On" got them some attention, but they never really reached massive levels. Favourite song would be "Chromakey."

the live version of siamese sounds amazing
