'The Motives feat. Matt Taylor' - Gangsters, with a slideshow of the full set of shots from the official photo shoot, plus some candid shots of the band in the studio mostly taken by Matt and his friend Mark Butcher who dropped into the recording sessions. The Motives are a British rhythm & blues band formed by singer/songwriter and guitarist Matt Taylor at the end of 2010. Each band member already has a solid reputation on the European music scene and beyond, bassist Andy Graham having worked with Ian Siegal for over 12 years and being the recipient of 'Bassist of the Year' award in the inaugral British Blues Awards 2010. Keyboard player Jonny Dyke has been seen on stage and in the studio with a huge variety of artists recently including Judie Tzuke, Coco Montoya and Ben E King and Roy Martin on drums has worked with everybody from Aretha Franklin to Thea Gilmore and has toured the world many times with French superstar Patricia Kaas. Matt himself is a member of The Snowy White Blues Project and has released several solo albums, to say nothing of his session and production credits. The Motives draw their musical inspiration from 40's New York, 50's Chicago and 60's London. January 2011 saw them take to the recording studio and their debut album is in the pipeline, scheduled for release in the late summer of 2011.
