LOS ANGELES, CA – August 21, 2019 – American New Wave stars The Motels are joining English pop artist ABC atop the New Wave Concert Night line-up of NostalgiaCon’s ‘80s Pop Culture Convention (www.NostalgiaCon80s.com) September 28 and 29 at the Anaheim Convention Center.
Led by lead singer Martha Davis, The Motels will perform their greatest hits on Saturday, September 28, including their chart-topping hit “Suddenly, Last Summer”, which is being prominently featured next month in the final season of AMC’s ‘American Horror Story’ and “Only The Lonely”, among others. Davis will also participate in a panel discussing the birth of New Wave music. NostalgiaCon’s concerts are open to attendees who have either purchased a one day pass for a designated concert day or who have paid for the show’s two-day pass.
The first incarnation of The Motels formed in Berkeley, California in 1971, and they were known as the Warfield Foxes. After moving to Los Angeles in 1975, they changed their name to The Motels, signing to Capitol Records in 1979. “Only the Lonely” and “Suddenly Last Summer”, earned Gold Record status, peaking at No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100, in 1982 and 1983, respectively. In 1980, The Motels song “Total Control” reached No. 7 on the Australian charts (for two weeks), and “Danger” reached No. 15 on the French charts.
