Mota MOTA are a 4-piece covers band playing high-energy rock/pop floorfillers

We require a performance space of at least 4m by 5m. We require minimum 2 x 13amp power sockets and 4 parking spaces.

Yes, we’re completely self contained. We bring our own PA system to all of our gigs as well as a simple lighting rig.

We need to know a postcode to help us find the venue and availability of parking near the load-in point. We’d also need to be informed if there’s a sound limiter in the venue

Yes, we’re happy to play music from our own laptop before, after and between our sets. We can offer an 80's set or a 2000's set. Our DJ sets are up to 1.5 hours duration. We do not require an internet connection.

We have a powerful PA system and professional sound enhancement systems that allow us to play all but the largest indoor venues.

We can fit into quite a small space. If it will take a regular size drum kit then we can probably get in.

We will not play venues that have the type of noise limiter which cuts out electrical supply above a fixed decibel reading. This risks damage to our equipment. If a sound measuring device is present we will strive to remain within it's limit - bearing in mind that acoustic drum kits do not possess a volume control!

We have played numerous fantastic venues in large social clubs and hotels for parties and weddings, Some of our favourite gigs have been smaller events in intimate venues though.

We generally enjoy rock music, but the most important thing is to provide entertainment for our audiences. The songs that get audiences excited and up dancing and singing are our favourites to play. There's no such thing as a greatest song of all time - all music is great!

We have all been gigging for many, many years and have played thousands of gigs in that time. We got together to form MOTA in 2023 because we were in different bands at that time and had a shared vision of how a professional rock and pop party band should be.

Any event where people are up for a good time and appreciate well-played popular music. We've enjoyed gigs in small pubs with 10 customers present as much as gigs in large auditoriums and civic halls with more than 250 people celebrating important events.

We require a minimum of 90 minutes to load in, set up and soundcheck. We prefer to have 2 hours though, for a smooth preparation. We normally perform 2 x 45 minutes. We’re happy to play a bit longer or shorter but we’ve found that these set times suit us and our audiences best.

We’re happy to play outside but we ask for shade, a flat level surface and a power supply close to the performance area. For inclement weather we must perform under a watertight roof.

We can learn specific songs before the event but we usually limit this to 3 songs, which must be relevant to our setup. The clients are welcome to pick a set list from our repertoire or let us choose the music for them

Previous customers would describe us as a high energy group that loves to get the audience on their feet dancing.

We have a male vocalist, electric guitarist (with backing vocals), bass guitarist and a drummer (with backing vocals). Some tracks also feature a music synthesiser. We do not use backing tracks.
