Biography and information about THE MOT!VES and
THE MOT!VES PROJECT
THE MOT!VES beginings can be traced back to jam
sessions that started in in 1998 at Louie Fleck''s loft in
Tribeca, NYC. The weekly jams included Paul Vlachos on
guitar, Rich N Famous on keyboards and guitar, Laury
Webb on drums and keyboards, Pathen Urbaez on lead
guitar, Louie Fleck on bass, guitar and drums as well as a
host of others. The musicians experimented with rock and
reggae improvisation techniques, developed unusual
treatments of cover songs and started introducing original
material. A decision was made to formalize the unit into a
band, the mysterious name "TFA" was selected and
auditions were commenced for a lead vocalist. After
several lead vocalists came and went, Rebecca Bolluyt
from Iowa joined up and several local gigs followed. With
the addition of Brian "Milo" Lowe also on lead vocals, the
band settled on "THE MOT!VES" as their name. The
addition of David Kaufman on keyboards and Douglas
Guthrie on sax (both members of the cult 80''s group: The
Nails), and Zack Glass on guitar and Phil "Dubwise"
Simon cemented the groups focus on creating original
NYC style Reggae, Ska and Dub. This is the lineup that
played extensively in NYC and was invited to headline the
1999 Reggae Ambassadors Worldwide conference held in
San Jose, CA. The band surprised Reggae audiences with
their unique fusion of Pop, Rock and Jazz influenced
Reggae, Ska and Dub. Rebecca''s vocals have often been
described as cool and hypnotic. Milo has been able to
create a completely unique vocal sound that combines
precise Raggamuffin chatting/toasting with intense
emotional singing. While Louie Fleck wrote over 50% of
the material, all of the band members contributed to
songwriting.
A complete gig history of THE MOT!VES, BUBBLE and
THAT OTHER THING is available on the web site:
https://www.tradebit.com.
There are web pages that contain photos of many shows
and two very interesting journals of the mini-tours.
In the beginning of 2001, it became clear that Rebecca
planned a move to Chicago and that Milo needed to move
to France in order to be with his new family. So, while the
band was no longer able to perform live, it occured to
Louie Fleck to record the lead vocalists before they left.
So begins the story of THE MOT!VES PROJECT. During
the rest of 2000, Louie developed and arranged the songs
using samples, synthesizers and traditional instruments in
his home studio. He composed and recorded background
vocals and horn arrangements, and additional guest
musicians folded into the mix song by song.
The CD: THE MOT!VES PROJECT - so much more, was
officially released on Louie Fleck''s Benchwarrant Records
in June of 2001. The reviews have been positive and
enthusiastic, as many realize the unique and futuristic
qualities of the CD. Promo copies of the CD will be sent to
DJs and reviewers upon request.
"so much dub", a DUB version of "so much more" will be
released in the impending future.
An additional album of new Reggae songs is also being
deveoped now, set for release in 2002.
