Motel 6 Decides To Learn The Bands & Hotel Rooms Lesson The Hard Way
I can't find many details, but budget U.S. budget hotel chain Motel 6 has gotten together with music publisher Primary Wave Music for "Rock Your Self To Sleep", a promotion that gives bands free hotel rooms on the road. So far, up and comers Stephen Kellogg & The Sixers, Hit the Lights and Sparks the Rescue have signed up. Bono, for all his proletariat posing, probably won't take Motel 6 up on their offer, preferring nightly digs with door men and room service
This is not the first time, however, that Motel 6 has wiggled its way into the hearts and minds of indie rockers. Who can forget Yo La Tengo's rockin' From A Motel 6? Watch the video after the jump.
