	All ages welcomeMICKY & THE MOTORCARS "Even when they're rocking\, the
	 band's got an occasional knack for some introspective\, heavy thought
	s. … [A] headstrong sense of lyrical twists and genuine emotion is wha
	t separates Micky and the Motorcars from similar-sounding peers. And o
	n songs like ‘Split\,' they rock right on with some crowd-pleasing\, g
	uitar-whipped words: ‘Come on\, girl\, let's get out of here.' Funny t
	hing is\, that line would probably work. …" — Texarkana Gazette Unlike
	 the previous three albums by alt-country five-piece band Micky and th
	e Motorcars\, the group — this go-around — had plenty of time to prepa
	re for Naive. During recording sessions on the past discs\, says front
	 man-lead vocalist Micky Braun\, "if a good gig came up\, we had to le
	ave the studio." Now established as one of the best-drawing bands on t
	he lucrative Texas Music circuit\, Micky and the Motorcars had plenty 
	of time to make Naive\, accumulating a large stockpile of songs before
	 members even entered Austin's Cedar Creek Studios. "We had a good amo
	unt of time off\, so we did a lot of rehearsal\, working up different 
	arrangements and trying to figure out the right way to play them\," sa
	ys Braun. "That was kind of grueling\, but it worked out." Braun colla
	borated on many of the other songs on Naive with musicians such as his
	 brother\, Reckless Kelly lead singer Willy Braun\, as well as Randy R
	ogers\, Kevin Welch\, Welch's offspring\, Dustin and Savannah\, and Ja
	ck Ingram bassist Robert Kern. The Brauns actually wrote the title tra
	ck\, which Micky Braun calls "your classic wife-cheating-on-the-husban
	d\, husband-comes-home thing\," several years ago in their native Idah
	o. "It never really panned out\, so I sat back down\, and we ended up 
	getting a good rock 'n' roll version\," he says. The Braun family's mu
	sical legacy extends far beyond the Motorcars — formed back in Idaho b
	y Micky\, brother Gary (vocals\, guitar\, harmonica) and childhood fri
	end-bass player Mark McCoy — and Reckless Kelly (featuring older broth
	ers Willy and Cody Braun). All four brothers played with their father 
	in their own special group that appeared twice on "The Tonight Show Wi
	th Johnny Carson." In the 1950s\, their grandparents drove an hour and
	 15 minutes every day from their home in Twin Falls\, Idaho\, to their
	 jobs as house piano and organ player and cocktail waitress at a casin
	o in Jackpot\, Nev. Even home from the road and an average 215 shows a
	 year\, members of Micky and the Motorcars tend to stick together\, pr
	acticing\, brainstorming\, writing\, hanging out. Braun says\, "We'll 
	wind up calling each other and saying\, ‘What are you doing? Let's hit
	 the town." There's plenty of time for that. Visit mickyandthemotorcar

	ral Alternative to describe their mixture of country\, rock\, punk and
	 rockabilly all rolled into one. The band plays mostly original materi
	al written by lead singer/guitarist\, Derek Miller. Since Meanbottle's
	 inception the band has continued to add to its repertoire and has ama
	ssed a large volume of original music and old country covers. The song
	s included in a Meanbottle set can take you from high intensity\, fast
	\, driving country-punk\, to fresh renditions of old Hank Williams son
	gs. Meanbottle has played many venues in the Colorado and Wyoming area
	\, such as The Aggie Theatre in Ft. Collins and The Fox Theatre in Bou
	lder\, and shared the stage with countless national acts such as Aaron
	 Watson\, Paula Nelson Band\, David Allen Coe and Jason Boland & the S
	tragglers. Visit meanbottle.com for more information.
