Pink Motel is the the quintessential celestial rock and roll band of Los Angeles! How did the stars align so brilliantly bright in the smoggy LA skies for this musical menagerie to happen? Whilst locked down in the global Coronavirus pandemic (you maybe heard about it), three kindred spirits found each other. They had no idea what was coming. No one could.
Just as quarantine struck, befuddled and bewildered songwriter Kristi Magdalene moved into The Brewery Music Lofts, ready to conquer a decade plus long battle with a traumatic brain injury. Eyes wide with revelation, she was about to meet the best friends of her life and form the best band of her life; to everyone’s greatest shock.
There were wild protests in the streets, forest fires, violent riots, and a deadly worldwide virus no one understood. The National Guard took over the cities in every State. Was it the apocalypse? Who knew? The only thing one can count on in such uncertain and catastrophic times is love. Love came through.
In May 2020, Kristi Magdalene, Ben Kernion (of Sonic Acrylic), and Benny Wilton bonded together through music and friendship like war vets. While the world was ending, they ascended into the 13th Dimension and came out with a band that healed their souls and saved their lives.
Call it karma, call it fate, or just call it music.
With a neverending rollercoaster ride of insane life experiences, the band offers music informed by a broad range of emotions. Pink Motel is truly ecstatic, traumatic, and dramatic.
In 2022, the band enlisted superstar musician Shay Hayashi to rain glitter over the drum kit. Then Ania Thomas fell down from the sky with guitar in hand, shredding lullabies to the Milky Way— cementing the perfect storm of creative invention.
Pink Motel had finally filled out the sonic spectrum of pink fairy alien dream rock it was seeking since before Earth existed.
The revolution starts now. One way ticket to Neptune. Ready or not, time to rock.
