This is a fan made space to represent and remember the now defunct Aussie band Motor Ace...

Don't know if the beginnings of motor ace read like a modern fable, but their story is at least as interesting as half those rock 'n' roll tales music fans have always found refuge in.

Patrick Robertson, lead singer and purveyor of 21st century blues, was feeling down about the fact there was no one around who 'got' it. He'd been slugging it out in go-nowhere combos for years, and was ready to pack up his guitar and take his place among rocks could've beens when the fateful meeting with Damian Costin happened.

A rock 'n' roll spirit in the old style, Damo was working on one of Patrick's early recordings as assistant engineer when a mishap with the tape reel, which Damo dropped and let roll across the studio floor, led downhearted Patrick to immediately suspect sabotage. First impressions were wrong though, 'cause when Damo edged himself onto the drum stool for a boredom-starving jam, Patrick knew he has found the person to help channel the incendiary rock vision which had recently been reduced to little more than embers.

Soon after this an enigmatic character named David Ong wandered into a rehearsal room where Patrick and Damo were jamming, after sitting quietly in a corner for an hour or so, just listening, Dave walked over, picked up a stray six-string, and unraveled the haunting guitar line which now finds itself opening "Siamese". In Dave's intricate playing the band have found their subconscious.
Matt Balfe, an old friend of Dave's, completed the line-up as bass guitarist. In the repressed energy of Matt's playing you can hear the restless spirit of the man, always moving, with one eye on that elusive prize at the end of this hazardous roller coaster called rock 'n' roll.

That was the story of motor ace. Don't know if they'll save your soul, but they'll definitely save today.
