Motorkill

Some Details...

BAND HISTORY
* The current line-up of MOTORKILL is
"Tilly" - Bass & Lead Vocals, "Mase " - Drums, "KK" - Rythm Guitar & Vocals, "Paul" - Lead Guitar. This line-up has been together since November 2006 & is going strong to the present date.

* Formed after the split of the "Dirty Dogs" (an AC/DC & classic rock 5 piece covers band) in February 2005. "The Ace of Spades" was already in the 'Dogs set (sung by Tilly) & this was the starting point for the formation of "MOTORKILL" .

* With 2 members of the Dogs leaving (Vocals-Chris Hill & Lead Guitar-Stuart Henri) the 3 remaining members, TILLY-MASE-KK, were originally joined by GIZ, a talented young Lead Guitarist who remained with the band until family duties became a priority. PAUL ANDERSON would later take over the Lead Guitar role in November 2006.

* Rehearsals immediately went full on! Classics like - BOMBER - IRON FIST - TOO LATE TOO LATE - WE ARE THE ROAD CREW - NO CLASS - and even newies like - IN THE NAME OF TRAGEDY - STAY OUT OF JAIL - WE ARE MOTOR KILL - are all in the current set list.

* The 1st gig went like a dream!! A full hour of power! - we were ready for this one!!

* The 2nd gig was a little more troublesome! Problems with monitoring spoiled the performance for the band, but luckily the gig was videoed & revealed that the sound out front was pretty much OK. We still took this as a lesson & invested in better monitoring equipment.

* The 3rd gig at "THE ACE OF SPADES BAR" in Tipton also went very well. This gig being the first time that Tilly wore the Lemmy wig!! "Wow that was hot" (or words to that effect) was the comment after the gig!! A packed bar, a good atmosphere & we played well - another success for The 'Kill.

* The 4th gig was back at The Green - This time a full 1.5 hr set with everyone dressing the part with smoke, lights & plenty of LOUD ROCK. Again the gig was videoed and this time put on to DVD (Cheers to Dave Gill for the great camera work and transfer to DVD) for band analysis - this was a marked improvement from the 2nd gig, musically & visually - a few tweaks still to be made, but there was one BIG thing still missing - aaahhh - the backdrop!!!!

* The famous BOAR / DOG / SNAGGLETOOTH Motorhead symbol was faithfully reproduced by Simon Roseman (a friend of Tillys from work). He did a blinding job of the outline, but it was left to The 'Kill to fill in the detail. Tilly, Mase (& sister) & Gaz (Killerwatt - Sound Engineer) got stuck in & came out the other side as qualified artistic artists!!!!! (as well as Musical & Piss artists!!!).
