New EEK Song on TAPE Compilation LP
I'ts called "Stranger" and was written by request from a contributor to Notion Free. It's about the anxiety of an unfamiliar experience in an otherwise ostensibly harmonious environment. It's about being odd and considering everything else to be mysteriously normal, and wanting in on it.
I have 7 left.
"TAPE RECORD issues each year a compilation LP with fine, obscure, special music by Dutch and foreign soil. PLAAT 1 is the first release on Friday, November 9, 2012 presented in TAPE. White vinyl, black inner sleeve, and a beautiful exterior. The design (like our style) is Celine Lamée.
The first edition contains the Arnhemmers of Mytron and BDMNTN, but also the American band Tropical Ooze, Ever Ending Kicks and Korla Pandit. More great songs come from Dutch bands: Visitors, Sparrow, Flamingo Pudding, Crookram and River District."
$15.00 (shipping included)

EEK, the 4-piece, Performs Live on KEXP Seattle
Ever Ending Kicks' first performance happened this past Saturday, the 28th. I rounded up some friends (Allyson, Hannah, and Phil) just 10 days before for some brief morning practices. You can stream the whole session here.
And here are some pictures.
And here are some pictures.
EEK's first record is called NOTION FREE and was funded in full by Motorbikes listeners via Kickstarter. It is currently in the hands of the mastering company/pressing plant.
Here's "Who Woulda Known?" from NOTION FREE.
"Motorbikes" Expired
I will no longer be making music as “Motorbikes”.
The old name came from a song I wrote while living in Springfield, MO in 2007. This song, a sort of anthem, had been in use ever since. I played and tried to record multiple versions of it, but it didn’t translate. Above is the video of me performing it when I first wrote it – it’s gnarly in quality but it captures something I was unable to record for so long.
With Nich Wilbur’s engineering expertise, I recently recorded the song aiming to replicate the video version that I performed originally. It was a success, and it will be coming out as a split 7” – "Motorbikes & Hungry Cloud Darkening" – some time soon as FF022.
Outside of this song, the word “Motorbikes” doesn’t really have meaning. But more so, I feel I’ve wrapped it up nicely and it’s time to move on. Moving on to moving on.
From now on I will pursue my new music project called “Ever Ending Kicks”.
The idea consists of the following but is not limited to these sentiments:
Tearing through skate shoes as the cost of progressing as a skateboarder.
Being so into something and then not.
Stationary objects you shove off of while making your way through your life.
Stationary objects that let you know you’re moving.
Fashion and function.
Ever Ending = Never Ending.- PAB
