LABRETTA SUEDE & THE MOTEL 6 - Home For the Incurable 


Labretta & her crew celebrate their 20th Anniversary with a brand new album – Home for the Incurable – thirteen tracks of jungle groovin’, ass whippin’, low down and dirty rockin’-and-a-reelin’ rock n roll.
Labretta formed the band when she had returned to New Zealand from one of her jaunts to the USA in 2005. It took on many shapes with a few members trying out until it settled into a cohesive line-up with the final piece to the puzzle being Johnny Moondog, an unhinged and unorthodox guitar player.


Labretta and Johnny became an unstoppable force from the first meet – art, music, B-grade culture, cars, vintage. “Home for the Incurable” is the band’s third full-length album. A husky vocalled, Crampsian twang rockabilly seedy & swanky swing w/some of their best songs to date. The record features long time original USA members Gerry White on drums & Max Frechette on bass, with performances by Joe Berson & Johnny Moondog on bass too. Special guest Roxy Verta-Ray appears on keys for “Hurt No More” and they even got their engineer and long-time friend Matt Verta-Ray on backing vocals for Roky Ericksons’ “I Walked With a Zombie”.
