Motel California - Shepley Cricket Club - 30 December 2008

Motel California is, of course, an Eagles tribute band. Newly formed and not at all bad.
An enjoyable set. The vocal harmonies are a challenge, but considering this was their first gig, were pretty good. As usual with a rock band with loud drummer and guitars turned up to be heard above that, the vocals didn't always come across strongly enough.
On lead guitar is Simon Le Geyt, who plays with no less than 5 local bands - see his site.
Shepley Cricket Club always seem to get good bands for their end of month gigs. They are usually on the last Friday of the month, but changed just for December. The room is small and usually packed and they sell Elland brewery's Bargee, so a good atmosphere is almost guaranteed.
