Profile of the band
Sound
Their raw and aggressive sound, along with the stamp of the live shows (swinging from chaotic to obscene, euphoric and visceral catharsis at the time) nourish the achieved renown that music-journalists and other musicians have enlarged describing Motosierra as "the wildest Rock and Roll band from South America."
Lyrics
This characteristic, along with the topics of their songs, strongly contrast with the whole of uruguayan bands included in the National Rock. Violence, rebelliousness and self-destruction in an enviroment where it is used to sing about mundane subjects, reflecting to the point of exhaustion the average Uruguayan flat and monotonous life. They are proper lyrics of an anthem against boredom, tiredness of the monotonous life and desapassionate music. Foul loves, damned women and sex; whisky, drugs and excesses; satanism, blood and revange are proper of the Motosierra's lyrics.
Influences
Considering influences, can be mentioned Turbonegro, Hellacopters, Supersuckers, Zeke and Dwarves, as well classic bands such as Motörhead, Iggy Pop & The Stooges, New York Dolls and Dead Boys; altought, it is worth mentioning that the list could be even more extended. We should agree that the the heritage of bands is the same that carries weith in the whole new generation of bands around the world. Even so, the influence falls on the most significant ones, those which contribute to the self-destructive attitude (like Iggy Pop & The Stooges and Dead Boys), to the defiant sound and, not less important, to the meaning the cultural response takes with the band, among other aspects. It can be also mentioned the influence of Chicos Eléctricos and Cross, but within the framework of Uruguayan Rock.

Motosierra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
3 p.m. and have a beer
All those people look so dead HEY,HEY!
They're gonna suicide,
And it's O.K!
It's OK!
I keep smoking marihuana,
Always do what I want to,
I want to have some fun,
Have some fun!
Have some fun
There is too much paranoia,
You don't want to be an umployed,
But I'm not like everyone,
I want to!! HAVE SOME FUN!
Have some fun!...
AND WHAT ABBOUTT YOUUU!!
I quit my JOB! Good for me!
I'm getting DRUNK! Good for me!
I'll fuck the COPS! Good for me!
And my boss, government, teenage chicks, Anal Sex!! And my fuckin' mom and dad... BULLSHIT!!
Now I have fun!
The lyrics to "Fun Blues" by Motosierra are fairly straightforward, but still require some interpretation. The song basically describes a person who is walking down the street, drinking and smoking marijuana, and feeling like they don't fit in with society. The lyrics suggest that the people around them are unhappy and might even be contemplating suicide. However, this person is not like them - they want to have fun and enjoy life. They are not afraid of being unemployed and they are willing to break the law in order to have a good time. The lines "I quit my job!, I'm getting drunk! I'll f**k the cops!" demonstrate this reckless attitude.
Overall, "Fun Blues" can be interpreted as a rebellious anthem for those who are fed up with the pressures and expectations of society. The lyrics suggest that it's okay to prioritize having fun over conforming to societal norms. However, the song's lyrics can also be seen as promoting dangerous and irresponsible behavior, such as drinking alcohol and breaking the law.
