Acclaimed indie-pop band Saint Motel announce UK/IE tour dates

THE AWARDS SHOW TOUR INCLUDES SHOW AT LONDON’S ELECTRIC BRIXTON ON OCTOBER 9TH

Southern California band Saint Motel have announced the UK/IE run of ‘The Awards Show Tour’, including a date at London’s Electric Brixton on October 10th. Tickets on sale now HERE

Founded by vocalist A/J Jackson and guitarist Aaron Sharp – film school classmates with a shared appreciation for obscurist cinema – and later rounded out by bassist Dak Lerdamornpong and drummer Greg Erwin, Saint Motel first revealed their imaginative take on alt-pop with their 2009 debut EP ‘ForPlay’. The band soon amassed a devoted underground following - thanks in part to a series of “experientials concerts” with themes such as Zombie Prom and Judgment Day - then found breakout success with their critically acclaimed 2012 debut album ‘Voyeur’. After signing to Elektra Records, Saint Motel saw their fanbase grow exponentially with the release of ‘My Type EP’, a 2014 effort whose platinum-certified title track became a top 10 alternative radio hit. In 2016, they flipped the script once again with ‘saintmoteltelevision’ a first-of-its-kind full-length album accompanied by virtual music videos for all ten of its tracks, making it the world first-ever virtual-reality album. In addition to touring with acts such as Arctic Monkeys, Imagine Dragons, Band of Skulls, and Weezer, Saint Motel have also spent much of the last half-decade bringing their captivating live show to leading festivals like Coachella, Lollapalooza and Bonnaroo.  

A/J shares: “It’s rare we get to take a tour like this overseas, and we couldn’t be happier to do our final run of The Awards Show Tour in the United Kingdom and Ireland. And it will be our first time in Ireland at that! To our British and Irish members of the academy, we will see you soon.”  ​
