Motor Eye

About

Description
Wayne Harriss and Stu Medley of Motor Eye (formerly Holding Pattern) have record collections that are scarily similar. Scary because Steely Dan and 10cc feature heavily. Combine this with years of playing together with Andy Gill as the Perth sub-country jazz/rock three piece Resin and you have the chemistry for some fine tunes which belie the speed at which their self titled debut was made.

Motor Eye are Wayne and Stu in their semi-electronic, experimental jazz-pop guise. Andy is dragged in as session drummer and squashed down onto one track for each of the songs. Wayne wears his producer’s hat and engineer’s cap for this LP and plays all the bass (Stu’s role in Resin) while keeping an archaic Akai sampler on the go. Stu plays guitars (Wayne’s role in Resin) and keyboards. Vocal duties are shared. The result is a rather cinematic affair; a musical travelogue that takes your ears from Detroit to Tokyo via Antibes.

blog post Holding Pattern Name Change
Category: News
Posted: May 14, 2007 at 12:39 AM
As previously mentioned due to a naming conflict with a US progressive rock band of the same name, Holding Pattern is to change its name to Motor Eye. We’d like to announce that this name change has now officially been enacted. The name change has been effected across the HSR site and store and where possible all third party websites have been notified. Third party digital distributors of Motor Eye’s self titled debut are in the process of updating their catalogues as we speak and that should be done within the month. Searching for Motor Eye at these stores will get you the right result regardless of whether the name changes have been made already.

Due to a name conflict with a US band,
Holding Pattern will be undergoing some minor naming surgery. The band
will soon go under the moniker of Motor Eye which co-incidentally is
the name of their debut album.
The change will officially take place as soon as our e-distributors
have updated their catalogues and we’ll inform you all once that
happens.
