Hi i really liked this motorace song called siamese when I was a teen and i was wondering if anybody knows what this band is doing today, I mean the members literally are they working in the industry still or did they make enough money to retire or are they solo acts ec

They're probably still working in the industry... packing CDs in some warehouse.
is it true the singer posts on here? or at least used to?
ha. i was thinking the same thing the other night.
''The individual members remain on amicable terms. Robertson now professionally scores for film and television, while Ong still occasionally performs around Melbourne with his Joni Lightning project. Costin continues to work in the music industry.
Motor Ace will be releasing a live DVD based on their final show. This will be out in late October 2008. Aside from the concert itself, the DVD will also feature backstage/behind the scenes footage and footage from their Japanese tour.'' - wiki
wiki to the rescue_Robertson)
They broke up. Patrick now writes musical scores for film and TV. Dave Ong had the Joni Lightning project - not sure if that's still going. Damo has a management company. I'm not sure what Matt's doing.
sorry, this one_Robertson)
wow, it must be weird for them...i mean they were pretty successful locally, but im sure they had higher expectations of their music who in a commercially successful band doesnt right?
To go from being hot property to just like regular 9 to 5ers must be equally humbling and depressing.
no
i remember matt telling me about a meeting the record company called, where an executive asked them how they saw their image as a band. they said they didn't know, and he said ''we see you as a brooding rock band''.
how do you know this postergirl? I mean even if you personally knew the singer you wouldn't necessarily know..its not like people go around advertising their internet handles in real life situations.
who is Matt?
why would you ask if you don't believe anyone knows?
Patrick is my brother. He has never posted here, I can promise you.
Maybe I just want to believe, i mean I heard regurgitator used to post on here too. You when you are a kid adn you know santa is a phony but you just want to believe otherwise, same principle I guess.
OMG are you serious?!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do you think if I post you my 5star laundry CD you can get him to sign it? I mean ill pay for the return postage as well? do you think the other members can sign it too? ill even throw in some movie tickets or something for your troubles if its true
Yeah I'm serious.
I guess you can send me the CD. The logistics of getting the whole band to sign it might be difficult but I can get P to.
Postergirl win.
yep, postergirl wins for being inordinately nice to embarassing fanboy/girl.
Hi P. Ive got an old snowblind poster, can I get that signed :)

Aww.
There were seriously only a couple of particularly negative comments about them on this thread, along with a bunch of relatively mild criticism.
And there's at least as much unwarranted praise for bands on here that don't deserve it as misdirected bile.
people have to learn to get used to negative comments being made about music and not take things personally. in person, on the internet, wherever, whenever. it's not rude, it's fun!
forms naive punk band called 'misdirected bile'
Yeah, for example, if I said the Ooga Boogas were a bunch of washed up old has beens riding the coat tails of success of their youngest member, it would not only be funny, but accurate.
I'm wracking my brain to think of a band that has benefited from being Parisi-ed
Gabriella Killme?
more to the point, what band has sounded the worst after being parisi-ed? were all mushroom acts of the 90's/00's signed by parisi?
apparently michael parisi is also the name of a pitcher for the st louis cardinals.
Is that worse than being Gudinskied?
Would Lash have been anything if they hadn't been Parisi'd? (And Palmered.)
they wouldn't have been much, but they sounded a lot different and better before the parisi treatment. i kinda think gyroscope have benefited from being parisied.
they were godawful. god god awful.
man i was about 13 when ''american shoes'' hit radiowaves and it changed my life, for real.
Yeah, for example, if I said the Ooga Boogas were a bunch of washed up old has beens riding the coat tails of success of their youngest member, it would not only be funny, but accurate.

Harsh, but fair :)
Hey Patrick from Motorace's sister.
Don't take the criticism personally. Nobody's attacking your character or your brother. They're just bagging out Motorace's music. They're not the first to do so, nor will they be the last.
My Motorace memory:
It was probably 2002. At the old Rob Roy, I said to Nic Cester, ''look, there's the dude from Motorace'. So Mr Cold Hard Bitch went up to Dave Ong and said hello. If only that momentary mangling of Jet and Motorace had led to a COLLABORATION, then Neil Wedd, Don Corleone Parisi and the music programmer at Sports Tonight would have been very happy.
