The Motel Life

To begin, The Motel Life was the project of Michael Escanuelas,
Judcody Limon, and Nicholas Camacho. It began as small words and
ideas that were exchanged through IM, emails, and
spooky human interaction that resulted from the breakup of
each respected member's previous bands.

During the fall season of 2007 these members came together
with the idea of creating something a little bit more mature
than their previous efforts. In November of that same
year, Judcody and Michael wrote "We All Left Something
Behind" a song that would become the title track for their first
ep. The rest of the album that would become the group's
first ep was written during that winter.

The introduction of Anthony Lujan completed the group for a
short time, but several line-up changes would plague the
position of second guitarist until around September of the following
year, when Alvaro Hernandez joined the group and fulfilled
the line-up that is The Motel Life today.

"We All Left Something Behind", the bands first ep, was
released in October. The album, which held eight tracks
clocking in at over thirty minutes of music, was released with
positive reviews from several sites like Absolutepunk.net and
Alterthepress.net.

In January, following the release of their ep, The Motel Life
embarked on their first out of state mini-tour and was the band's first taste
of life on the road. Several local shows soon followed for the
support of "We All Left Something Behind". A final tour was conducted in
August of 2009 with the band playing several shows
spanning across Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Nevada, and their home
state of California.

Running off the positive feedback from fans and critics for "We
All Left Something Behind", The Motel Life has begun
working on their debut full length album. Upon the completion
of this process, The Motel Life will continue to run off their
successful DIY methods with hopes of a bright future ahead of
them.
