mOTORSHEEP Tenderise Demo 2012

Live recording of (We Live In A) Landfill from Rado Control Gig @ Massey Uni Social Hall during Kiwi Music Week Oct 2001. Line up was assembled during sound check, Kelvin Gat/Vocals, Jarrod Bass/Vocals/Engineering, Glenn Drums/Percussion.

"We Live In A Landfill" evolved from improvised jams based on several riffs that were arranged into cohesion with the addition of vocals and live onto 4 track cassette during an ad hoc recording session. The 4-track version originally appeared on "Valve No 9: 10kHz of White Piss" V/A Compilation CD (Yellow Bike Records BIKE036).

motorsheep - we live in a landfill  (live2air via radio control 99.4FM 01-10-2001)

Sonically melding everything from garage rock to hardcore punk, quirky melodic sensibilities and pounding rhythm section

Staunchly independent status and do-it-yourself attitude allowed varying line-ups of the band to embrace a niche market for their raw experimentation in the studio and energetic live shows. 

With a discography spanning limited edition cassettes, a full length album 'he passionless are fearless, US pressed 7" singles/EP's, motorsheep have also appeared on numerous compilations and student radio promotional CD's but never in the sale bin of a records store unless your junkie house mate has pawned off someone's CDs to raise some spare cash.
