about

Thanks to Shant Pelley we have this document of our very first live show, June 03 1995 at Birdland in Halifax, with Eric's Trip. Coming on the heels of the release of Gesner, it's loose and oddly cathartic - a little time capsule that we are very grateful to be able share with you. Enjoy!

"hey there...

so i went to see erics trip on saturday night...

this was kind of an occassion as i havent really gone to that many shows
lately (well in this town anyhow) and it was a mixed reaction.

the motes... what can i say youve heard us (the state champs) go on about
them all day and all night on this list so there was some expectations
let me tell you....

i was really worried that they wouldnt be able to pull off the patented
motes sound live... but they came pretty damn close... sort of a
different but just as good sound... obviously no sound man would let the
drums be mixed to the point of distortion so that was a tad dissapointing
but they still rocked with a vengence. as mark mullane was heard
muttering "the best rock show ive seen in this town in ages" and i have
to agree... after having gone to the ole us of a and seen some different
bands i gotta say halifax is looking a tad dull lately.... the motes are
the first new band ive seen play all year at a major show... thats
ridiculous theres gotta be some new talent in this city... anyhow all i
can say is that its about time....

anyhow the motes killed ... played a hit filled set of mostly newer
gesner tunes.... they used cool audio bits and the new full band handled
the songs quite admirably (god i sound like a reviewer for spin magazine) ..
anyhow like i said a different motes sound.. no bass onslaught less
raunchy drums.. no distorto vocals ... but it didnt matter ... anyhow the
motes are the best band in canada... period."
