COLORADO MUSIC BUZZ
Think about it: in the last 15 to 20 years, our fine state's music community has produced "the String Cheese Incident", Yonder Mountain String Band", Big Head Todd and the Monsters", "Leftover Salmon", "Drag the River", "Devotchka", "16 Horsepower", "Uncle Earl", and of course recent success stories with "Rose Hill Drive", "The Fray", "Single File", "Meese", "Tickle Me Pink", and "The Photo Atlas". Heck, this short list doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of bands that are out there touring nationally and internationally garnering critical acclaim and fans. So, in the spirit of the new year and helping talented Colorado bands gain exposure, I'd like to add the band "Motorhome" to the list of bands to watch in 2008.

SCENE MAGAZINE - 2007
Motorhome's first album, like most first albums, is a stylistic grab bag of sorts. While the group's live exuberance does come through the record, it remains evident that the band is still finding their voice as songwriters.

ROCKY MOUNTAIN CHRONICLE - 2007
From trucker hats to the hard-livn' alcohol anthems, the local scene seem to be bubbling over with alt-country. Rootsy rockers motorhome have been at it since 2004, bringing us yokels all the sly, gravel-voiced ditties and mellowed front-porch ballads we can handle. While the local five-piece plans on releasing an album in March, we'll get a chance to sample their high-energy live show this weekend.
NEXTNC - 2007
It's no suprise that with a name like motorhome the band is always on the go. The Fort Collins five-man band is booking shows left and right these days.
"We are pretty much playing as much as possible right now," said band member Matt Mahern (aka P-Mann). "We Don't turn down gigs unless they are really crappy."
