Off the heels of their first vinyl release, 7″1, Los Angeles-based indie pop quartet Saint Motel are pleased to announce their upcoming national headline tour. Kicking off in San Diego on February 8th, the band will embark on their spring tour culminating at SXSW. A full list of dates is below.

To celebrate the trip, the band has made the stems from both songs on 7″1 available to all at http://www.saintmotel.com/remixes/ for your remixing pleasure, and dropped their latest offering, an energy filled remix of their most recent single “At Least I Have Nothing” from crime capitalists Junk.

Download and Share “At Least I Have Nothing (Junk Remix)” Here.

With sophisticated savvy and singularity, the Los Angeles quartet Saint Motel has built a formidable reputation for itself on the back of inventive indie pop and wildly fun live shows. Mixing blistering pep with unique flair and a knack for rousing rhythms, Saint Motel’s upbeat, aural catharsis is pure bliss with a twist of cynical humor subversive and sincere.

With thematic twists and turns, stories reveal themselves lyrically through a narrative lens of understanding and universal truth. With such honest motifs strung together by tongue-in-cheek notions, delivered with such charm, the band’s intentions are often left open to interpretation. And so, what might be easily perceived as sexy with one listen, with another might seem mean-spirited or flatly perverse. That is the flair of Saint Motel’s rapturous pop and the graceful dichotomy of its existence.

Live Dates:
02/08 San Diego, CA, The Casbah
02/14 Los Angeles, CA, TBA
02/17 San Francisco, CA, Brick & Mortar Music Hall
02/18 Fresno, CA, Audie’s Olympic
02/25 Scottsdale, AZ, The Roxy Lounge
02/29 New Haven, CT, BAR Nightclub
03/01 New York, NY, Mercury Lounge #
03/02 Brooklyn, NY, Glass Lands #
03/03 Philadelphia, PA, Kung Fu Necktie #
03/05 Rochester, NY, The Bug Jar
03/06 Toronto, ON, Horseshoe Tavern
03/07 Pittsburgh, PA, The Shadow Lounge

03/09 Minneapolis, MN, 7th St. Entry

Off the heels of their mtvU premiere for “Puzzle Pieces,” LA indie luminaries Saint Motel are pleased to unveil a new track from their forth-coming 7″. The group’s newest offering, “At Least I Have Nothing,” is a quintessential anthem for today’s generation that continues in the band’s tradition of making catchy, guitar laden tunes with dark, thematic undertones.

With a sound as blistering as a parking lot on the hottest day of summer and a tireless devotion to the gods of rock and roll, Saint Motel are an explosive, cinematic, indie-pop band, with an intriguing blend of mischief and sincerity. Breaking out with “Puzzle Pieces,” the new single “At Least I Have Nothing,” and a boundary pushing, explosive live show, Saint Motel are moving full speed ahead with their light hearted melodies and roll around on the floor excitement.
