Your name:
Morgan Joseph Condon.
Where are you from?
I’m from Ireland, Dublin until
the age of 9 then Kildare.
Name of band:
Motorcycle
Display Team.
Who else is in your band?
Steven Hinds sings gloriously and plays guitar gracefully
and Matthew Eyre slinks and slides all over the bass with much pazzazz and
loads of oomph.
How would you describe
yourselves and your music?
We are three gentlemen who politically
look to the left and love to steep ourselves in music. Our music is rock music
with a poppy feel and brilliant to sing along with. We love riffs and
unexpected chord changes over beats you can shake it down to.
Who are your main influences
musically?
David
Bowie, Queens of the Stone Age, Radiohead, Jeff Buckley and Smashing Pumpkins
are the acts that brought us together. After that, there’s too many to list.
What do you hope to achieve in
music?
To make music that connects
with people and that people enjoy. Also, to finish off all the songs we’ve half
written!
What has been the highlight of
your career so far, and why?
Hearing
our music on the radio was definitely a highlight, no question. Also, playing
big festivals has been lots of fun. Of late, we’ve had some brilliant gigs that
seem to be lifting the bar. I would like to hope we have more highlights to
look forward to.
And what’s the moment you want
to forget?
I’ve already forgotten them all.
Onwards and upwards to infinity and beyond.
If you had to pick just one of
your songs to represent your music, what would it be and why?
That’s a tough one. We cover a
lot of different styles and themes. I’m going to pick our most recent single,
‘Letters of Last Resort’ as I feel it has a bit of the old and a good dollop of
the new MDT sound.
Where can we listen to
it?
Where can we find out more
about your music?
Anything else you’d like to
say about your music that I forgot to ask?
There’s loads of things I
could say about our music but I don’t like boring people. I guess, we are a
very authentic band….none of what we do is contrived or trying to fit into
certain genres or moulds. After that, you will need to listen yourself to see
what you think.
