Savoy Motel

Whoever said bands that use drum machines have no soul didn't hear the first single, "Hot One," from this quartet from Nashville. Featuring a Maestro-brand drum machine, the track builds on a duo of plucking guitar solos and a plodding bass that holds its funky groove together. Hot off a short tour with Black Lips and having signed with label What's Your Rupture, fans can expect all new material from Savoy Motel as it stops in Cleveland on a short tour to promote its yet-to-be titled debut.
