More of the sexy & raunchy Martin Savage©™ sound!! Teaming up with Loco Lopez (bass) and Topi the Kat (drums) from the infamous SONS OF CYRUS, he finally got his first full-length out! Packed with his own brand of super electrified, high volume rock-and-roll we all know from this fellow on the broken mic and scorching guitar on various 7" and 10" vinyl platters of the BLACKS, the DIXIE BUZZARDS, the TOKYO KNIVES or the CHINGALEROS. If his past projects are one side of a sonic triangle of the LOCOMOTIONS, the others are whole lot JONNY THUNDER styled hooklines and the desirable NEW YORK & BOSTON rock-and-roll in the late 70s. Hm, take the NEW YORK DOLLS "who are the mystery girls?" with the THE DRAGS´ "Who´s got the electricity" and overdub it with DIXIE BUZZARDS´ "the beat"- Supposed to be a pop approach, left on the recording tapes was as a damn soulful punk rock-and-roll record with that one and only wild Martin Savage vocals. The debut 45 "tell her" was just released by their own SAVAGE RECORDS in a limited edition of 400! An exclusive B-Side with a original and a heartfelt version of the STONES classic "under my thumb". The LOCOMOTIONS are just right for some shakin´retard garagesque dance moves at your next sweaty & sexy house party!

 

******* THE LOCOMOTIONS BIO*******


The LOCOMOTIONS formed in april 2002. Martin Savage and Loco Lopez had just split up their former band the NEW ERA and were sitting in a very popular bar in Stockholm drinking beer. They were talking about the greatness of the REAL KIDS and decided to start a band in the same spirit. It was immideately decided that Topi the Kat (who also play in SONS OF CYRUS with Loco) should be the drummer. He said yes the next day! Immediately songs were written and shows were booked and even a studio. So in july they recorded 14 songs for their debut 7" and album in the dubious studio in stockholm. All the songs were bashed out live in a day and the next day they did the mixing!!! They've played a number of shows in Stockholm as the opening act for the DIRTBOMBS and KING KHAN among others. The recordings were sent to ALIEN SNATCH! records who of course wanted to release this masterpiece. In april 2003 they're gonna do a few shows in the London with the ULCERS and probably record another album at the famous TOE RAG studio.
