Special Brooklyn, NY Show on February 12th
MOTOR SISTER is comprised of a veritable super group; a team of musicians whose collective musical pedigrees speak for themselves. Mother Superior
founder, guitarist, and vocalist Jim Wilson fronts the band, with
Anthrax's Scott Ian on guitar, Pearl Aday on backing vocals, Joey Vera
on bass, and John Tempesta on drums. The group was originally assembled
to jam for Scott Ian's fiftieth birthday party. Thanks to Scott's wife
Pearl Aday, who has been working on her solo career with Mother Superior
front man Jim Wilson for years, all it took was a quick phone call and
the stage was literally set for Scott's dream gig. "I wanted to
cherry-pick a set list of my favorite Mother Superior songs and get these guys together and have the concert at my house," Ian says of the event that eventually led to an album.
Enthralled at the idea of making a record of his favorite Mother Superior
songs, Ian emailed producer Jay Ruston (Anthrax, Steel Panther) and
asked if he thought it was possible to recapture the same spontaneous
energy MOTOR SISTER generated at their makeshift gig, and if an
album could be recorded quickly. "He said, 'Yeah, we can make the record
in two days and we can make it sound really good.' So that's what we
did," Ian says. "A week and a half later, we made the record in LA over a
two day period. We recorded the whole thing live in the studio and the
set-up was at my house."
"[Mother Superior]
frontman Jim [Wilson] was totally into the idea. Pearl was a huge
Mother Superior fan from way back and was in. I asked my good friends
Joey Vera (Fates Warning/Armored Saint) and John Tempesta (White Zombie,
The Cult) to be a part of it because I knew they were both big fans as
well and with no hesitation they said, 'We're in.'"
Wilson,
too, was stoked by the opportunity to dust off some songs he hadn't
played since his LA rock trio broke up in the early 2000's after
releasing eight albums and playing as Henry Rollins' backing band. "I
definitely didn't need any arm-twisting," he says. "I was totally
flattered and thought it was a great idea. I figured it would be fun and
it was a great opportunity for a new chapter to be established in order
to move forward."
The recordings from those two days are what became to be known as MOTOR SISTER's Ride.
Today, the first single from those sessions, "This Song Reminds Me of
You," is available for to stream, along with a featurette video on the
formation of the band and the process behind the record, at http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001jdZSP7FuXO1wF39d4AFFMB0wFM1f1Z2xHGYa7A7q0Ql9V-DpTUR0GqTJBTbx5Zftn5pR6pUxI6A_WRsKz-R-6y7uyDy3EB9dQhjI27LG1HTOB3fiEdDROIVBLjtw4ZcEZhOF9tjqQbBqr0gS4mJw6XWBgJ0N0sD4fWRYsH81NzdkyTtls0twGDzxaOdAmd28&c=ViNEqHPDzjmDXLdL8VH3ocv566kb-xasG-Ru33AKJGcMBIxuMruGRg==&ch=glVlzX2NvMyPKGR8uQCLBSpMRSlL5FKacUC5pCI-uLk1bD_yDJHjaQ==" rel="nofollow - metalblade.com/motorsister .
