Motel Beds

Motel Beds are an indie rock band from Dayton, Ohio.

History
The band was initially formed in the early 2000s by singer P.J. Paslosky, guitarist Tommy Cooper and drummer Ian Kaplan. The band went on hiatus soon after but reformed in 2008.

Their first release with Misra Records was These Are the Days Gone By, a collection of previously released tracks which were remastered by Carl Saff along with two unreleased tracks. The album features "Tropics of the Sand" with Kelley Deal of The Breeders and a cover of Matthew Sweet's "I've Been Waiting".

After leaving Misra, they recorded Mind Glitter for Anyway Records an album PopMatters called "their best album to date."

After the release of Mind Glitter, the band quietly went on hiatus partially thanks to the move of bassist Tod Weidner across the country, until a reunion show in Dayton was announced to be performed July 19, 2024.
