Saint Motel biography

Saint Motel (formed in 2007) is an American indie rock-pop band formed by A.J. Jackson and Aaron Sharp from Los Angeles, California, U.S.

Pianist and vocalist A.J. Jackson met classically trained guitarist Aaron Sharpe when the pair both studied film at Chapman University in Orange, California. It wasn’t long before the duo enlisted the help of nearby sushi chef Dak Lerdamornpong on bass and drummer Greg Erwin who was attending another college nearby.

Saint Motel released their debut EP “ForPlay” in 2009, utilising their film knowledge the EP had strong visual themes and was accompanied by a video for each of the EP’s six tracks. The songs were catchy, suave and dipped in nostalgia for the 80s and perfectly suited for energetic live shows of which the band did plenty.

The band’s extensive live performances honed their skills and experience and allowed for the released of their much celebrated debut album “Voyeur” in 2012. The album was received well by both critical reviewers including the Washington Post and Daytrotter and much of the online community especially on the website Hype Machine. Due to this response the band have been able to tour with the likes of “Band of Skulls, Imagine Dragons, Arctic Monkeys and Hockey.

Saint Motel have continued their trend of strong visual themes in their music and have subsequently crafted shows to explore the visual realm further with shows including The Kaleidoscopic Mind Explosion in 3D, Future Fathers Day, the Black & White Show and Valentine’s Zombie Prom.

In 2014 the band released their second EP “My Type” through Parlophone Records. The EP which has become hugely popular in Italy features the well-known and enviably groovy single of the same name, which has been used as the soundtrack for UK commercials and EA Sport’s FIFA 15.

Live reviews

Saint Motel, the indie rock band hailing from L.A, produce an incredible cross genre of music from pop, to progressive indie, and rock. All of the instrumentalists in the band are exceptionally talented, and watching them live really demonstrates how they’re able to manipulate they’re vocals and their instruments for the style they’re playing.

The show opened with A/J Jackson shouting out to the audience from back stage ‘is everybody ready, let’s made some noise’, before the house lights went down and their overture music began. They ran onto the stage to a huge applause before Aaron Sharp broke into an epic guitar solo, whilst A/J introduced the band over the top.

They played a really great selection of tracks, even going right back to their EP ForPlay, and journeying right the way through to their brand new EP, My Type. Along the way they took requests from us in the audience, and played several tracks from their album, Voyeur. When they played Ace in The Hole, they taught us all the chorus and got us to sing along, which was a lot of fun, and a great experience for a live show.
