In an ever changing and evolving music industry, whilst the digital age has transformed so many aspects of how artists operate, one thing that will never change is the desire to get in the van and take the music out on the road: live, personal and in your face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This coming September sees the start of \u2018The Wheels In Motion Tour\u2019, a three-band bill that will support indie venues up and down the country, showcasing some of the UKs most thrilling indie rock talent with The Jacques, The Sukis and Pistol Daisys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Curated by indie live agency Motion Talent, all three bands are part of the emerging artists on their roster, and the tour aims to boost grassroots touring through indie venues with a fan friendly low-ticket price. Motion\u2019s Neil O’Brien says:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am incredibly excited to see our first Wheels In Motion tour hit the road in September with three of our homegrown emerging artists playing some of the UK\u2019s best independent venues. As an independent live agency booking tours and festivals worldwide Motion Talent is committed to investing in artists by creating high quality touring and being involved at the beginning with marketing, PR, transport, accommodation and technical support unlike anyone else. I see it as our responsibility not only to represent established artists but also to actively create tomorrow\u2019s talent – Wheels In Motion is just that and hopefully will be the first of many great tours in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First up, London via Bristol trio The Jacques<\/strong> have been carving their way up and down the country and the EU with post punk legends Public Image Limited in recent times, and since first forming as young teenagers, they\u2019ve supported The Libertines at Hyde Park and played Glastonbury, Reading and Leeds. Their story has been fraught with as many ups as downs, but The Jacques have proved themselves to be true road warriors and survivors. Their genre-smashing fusion of mutant punk, psychedelic grunge and joyous indie rock never fails to hit the spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBeing on the road is the best,\u201d state the band. \u201cWe spent most of last year on tour in endless scrapes and adventures and it was while bouncing around the back of the van on a cold night up north that we thought of getting our label mates to come and join us on a tour like the old school ones. It\u2019s going to be a blast!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also joining the tour are Liverpool\u2019s The Sukis<\/strong>, who are fast making a name for themselves as one of the most exciting alternative rock bands on the scene today. Punky, intelligent and an explosive live act, their songs dive deep into the psyche of what it is to be young.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lastly, Pistol Daisys<\/strong> are storming the alt-pop scene with a fierce energy that’s quickly earned them a devoted following, blending Glasgow\u2019s vibrant grit with heartfelt authenticity to create music that captivates fans across Scotland all the way to Europe. Their live shows convey a whirlwind of raw emotion and authentic connection, thrilling audiences and filling venues with a sound that blends confessional songwriting with dance-oriented hooks, drawing comparisons to bands like Blondie and mixing pop, rock and electronic elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018The Wheels In Motion Tour\u2019 showcases three unique bands that although different musically, share a common goal to fire up their engines and hit the road, taking their music to hot and sweaty venues, as it was intended to be heard and felt. All three bands will have new music coming this year as they continue to grow and develop, pushing their sounds in new and thrilling directions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stories from the road\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Jacques:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe were on the home stretch of a long tour through Europe, having been left stranded by our now ex-tour manager in Milan because of our bad behaviour. Our new TM was driving us back to Calais when we noticed a burning smell, one of the tyres had completely melted. We pulled up and called for help. We went looking for food, but the walk was rural and long. As we crossed the French fields, no less than 7 spaniels came running towards us looking unusually vicious. Then we heard gun shots. 7 farmers emerged from the bushes, each shooting a rifle into the air. We had been WARNED\u2026 then for some reason our TM turned up in a Lamborghini.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sukis:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe last night of our tour, back in Liverpool, we had people from everywhere \u2013 Ireland, Scotland, France, Romania. They all turned up in ties! Ties! And lots of gifts\u2026the efforts fans make is incredible!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pistol Daisys:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAlways the three of us in a car\u2026. claustrophobic, the smell of body odour, banter and camaraderie always prevails, we\u2019ve never had more fun!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
