Trondheim, Norway (1989 – present)
Motorpsycho is a band from Trondheim in Norway, formed in 1989. Their music can generally be defined as psychedelic rock, but they also mix in elements from metal, jazz, rock, noise, pop and many other musical styles. The members of the band are Bent Sæther (bass/vocals) and Hans Magnus “Snah” Ryan (guitar/vocals). Håkon Gebhardt (drums) left the band in March 2005 to concentrate on solo projects (as Gebhardt) and his other band HGH.
Kenneth Kapstad, drummer, 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.

I tried many other albums but Timothy's Monster is just outrageously unique. It's one of my alltime favorite albums without a doubt. It's all about the comfort.. Feel, Trapdoor, Watersound.. amazing band.

Timothy's Monster is a good choice. Has the whole range of the band. Starts out really mellow and folky, going angry slacker-indie in the middle and total heavy-psych at the end. They have developed like this, roughly: ->93: grungenoise/metal, 94-> guitardriven indierock 90s style, 00->jazz/pop/something, 06->hard rock->experimental. So there's a lot to pick from.
