Martha davis motels children of the corn

'Lonely No More'

Formed in 1971 in Berkeley, California, the band (then called The Warfield Foxes) moved to Los Angeles by 1973 seeking a record deal.

The band consisted of Martha Davis on vocals and guitar, Dean Chamberlain on lead guitar, Chuck Wada on 2nd lead guitar and others. While in L.A., the band changed its name to "The Motels" and both Robert Newman (drums) and Richard d'Andrea (bass) were added to the line-up.

After recording a demo for Warner Brothers, which was turned down, they were offered a contract with Capitol but the band turned that down by disbanding in 1976.

In March 1978, Martha Davis was approached by lead guitarist Jeff Jourard to form a new Motels.

Extensive auditions resulted in a new lineup consisting of Jourard's brother Marty who played both saxophone and keyboards, Michael Goodroe on bass, and Brian Glascock on drums. By Mother's Day 1979, The Motels had signed with Capitol Records and released their first album in September
