Drummer Kenneth Kapstad joined Motorpsycho as a full member late in 2007.
Their new double-CD "Black Hole / Blank Canvas" was released 17th/20th march 2006 in Europe. The album has been getting generally positive reviews, proving the skills of the arguably most innovative Norwegian band of the last decade. Bent Sæther plays drums on this record, except on the track "You Loose", which is played by Jacco van Rooij who also played drums for the band on a short tour in spring 2006.
In activity since 1990, Motorpsycho have released 10 full length albums, as well as a number of EPs, a couple of live albums, and some side-project releases. Over the years, they moved from their initial mixture of metal, grunge and hardcore music, playing almost any kind of musical genre: indie, pop, psych rock, lo-fi, stoner, avantgarde, classic hard rock, acoustic, fusion, jazz rock and country rock as part of the The International Tussler Society.
2008 saw the release of the album, "Little Lucid Moments", containing 4 songs lasting between 11-21 minutes. The release was followed by a European tour in April and May 2008.
Early 2009, Motorpsycho recorded the Patrik Fitzgerald cover Punch with Jello Biafra from Dead Kennedys on vocals. Jello Biafra have, according to Norwegian broadcaster NRK been a fan of Motorpsycho for 16-17 years.
In the autumn of 2009 they released a vinyl-only record, Child of the Future and in January 2010 they released Heavy Metal Fruit, their first album with an outside producer.
On May 23 2016 it was announced on the band's website that Kenneth Kapstad will be leaving Motorpsycho after nine years with the band. The band did not announce a replacement, with supposed upcoming gigs in Brazil and a 40 show stint as the houseband in writer Carl Frode Tiller's play "Begynnelser" at Trøndelag Teater in Trondheim from September 2 2016.
However, on the second day of 2017 the fans could greet the long-awaited news of a replacement with delight. Swedish Trondheim resident Tomas Järmyr who has also played in acts such as Zu, Yodok, Yodok lll, Sunswitch and with Aidan Baker. He also studies at the music conservatory at NTNU – like Kapstad, Ståle Storløkken, Ola Kvernberg, Ketil Møster "and just about every decent musician we’ve worked with over the last decade before him" (quote Bent Sæther, January 2 2017). This piece of news was also supplemented with hints of an upcoming album in the fall of 2017. The album, titled "The Tower" was released on September 8th 2017.
Waiting for the One
Motorpsycho Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
While you're waiting by the porch
On this July sunny day
I see from the look in your eyes that you're worried:
Will he come today?
You won't be here tomorrow morning,
But you said that yesterday as well
Waiting for the one who went away
The blueberry-dress is the one you'll be wearing,
'cause that's the one that he said he liked
And maybe tomorrow he'll be returning,
And all will be alright
You won't be here
tomorrow morning, but you said that yesterday as well. "Waiting for the One" is a song by the Norwegian rock band Motorpsycho. The lyrics are about a girl who is waiting for someone special who has gone away. She is waiting on the porch on a sunny day in July, and from the look in her eyes, the singer can tell that she is worried about whether he will come back that day. The girl keeps saying she won't be there tomorrow, but the singer doubts her because she has said the same thing before.
The girl is wearing a blueberry dress because the guy she's waiting for told her he liked it. The singer hopes that the guy will come back soon and everything will be alright. The song is melancholic yet hopeful. It captures the feeling of waiting and hoping, and the uncertainty of whether or not things will work out.
