Biography

Motel Beds have long ranked among indie rock’s most underappreciated acts, crafting bright, breezy garage rock from their Dayton, Ohio base. The group came together in 2001 and first showcased its distinctive, beach-inflected brand of lo-fi pop—more sunlit than that of fellow Ohio band Guided by Voices—on the 2004 EP Hasta Mañana. Its original members, singer Paul John Paslosky, guitarists Tommy Cooper and Patrick Himes, bassist John Lakes, and drummer Ian Kaplan, parted ways the following year. When the band resurfaced in 2009, guitarist and producer Derl Robbins had replaced Himes, and Motel Beds entered a remarkably fertile phase. That year alone brought both the full-length Moondazed and the EP Go for a Dive. The album Feelings appeared in 2010, followed in 2011 by Tango Boys and Sunfried Dreams. Dumb Gold, the band’s fifth LP, surfaced in 2012, and after several quieter years the handpicked retrospective These Are the Days Gone By arrived in 2014.
