  1. Martha,
    When are you coming to the Midwest…St. Louis to be exact. Would love to see you perform. Happy Mothers Day early. Hope all is well.

  2. Hello you lucky cougar, that’s what you said you were at the Coach House when I saw you over the April 6th weekend show. Anywho your music has everlasting impressions on my mind since back from 1982 many, many wonderful memories. The Hollywood PuNk music scene I was there & lived it with all the other bands around that banged up thier songs from 1979 to early 80′s have a terrific time on your tour. Alfred aka Bruiser

  3. Wonderfully written songs, crafty & seductive lyrics, no matter what the song. thankyou Martha for the high-school flash-back memories and the experiences of my youth, I’m almost 50 – but your music still outshines material of today – please come back to Australia. Take care. Simon

  4. Dear Martha, Thanks for a really great concert @ the Brixton! The best description I can think of that night is: Captivating! Can’t wait to see you again. Hopefully I will continue my sax lessons someday and join you? Wow!

  5. Martha, Your show at the Hollywood Bowl was outstanding. You are an amazing singer and performer. Thanks for a night to rememeber.

  6. Just got your cd Apocalypso and listening to it now at work. Thinking of flying our from PA to see the show at the Bowl?

  7. Hey M.
    Graduated in 1983 and have alot of great memories from highschool that include the Motels. Looking forward to the show in Visalia. See ya there .

  8. Dear Martha, I live in Houston, TX. Do you ever tour around here? I would really enjoy coming to see one of your shows. BTW,I left those cats back in Virginia and they’ve long since passed. Love, Donnie in TX

  9. Martha, the first record I bought was Shock from the dollar cutout bin. The album cover is what sold it for me, but when I heard Icy Red, I was hooked. I bought everything else I could lay my hands on. :) Unfortunately those records are gone now because my cats got into my record closet, but recently I ignited the memories by getting No Vacancy: The Best of the Motels on CD. Thank you for making such good music. Music like yours is not made anymore. Love, Donnie in TX.

    • Donny, I’m so glad you found me in the bins… to be honest i spend a lot of time in thrift stores, looking for treasures, and am so glad you seem to treasure those old discs, even if the cats treasured them more… and probably in different ways… where are you? if we’re playing near you you should come… bring the cats…m.

  10. Hey Martha,
    I saw you and The Motels play in Brisbane, Australia, late in 1982. You were brilliant! Yours is still one of my fave bands even though I’m almost 50. Your evocative lyrics and penetrating voice are still among the best in all postwar music. You and Mazzy Star ahev so much in common, I feel. Please tour Australia again soon!
    Paul.
