Martha Davis And The Motels Announce Australian Shows

Lock in November and December

Martha Davis is returning to our shores for the first time in six years and she's bringing The Motels with her, for what is sure to be a highlight tour this year.

The veteran, alternative new wavers will play a stack of live shows around the country during November and December. Check out theGuide below for all the tour details.

It's been a long journey for Martha and The Motels, since they joined forces in the late '70s, a few years after the latter first formed in the earlier stages of that decade. The collective peaked in the first year of the '80s through their debut self-titled album, which spawned the ARIA top 5 hit Total Control.

A number of lineup changes and Martha's solo career and self-imposed break from the industry has added to their colourful history, but the love for these guys is still there from the fans.
