The Motorettes Split

• 12th Jun 2008

Tynemouth rockers The Motorettes have split up after just one album. The hotly tipped trio, who comprised of brothers Jed and Jack Laidlaw (who was later replaced by Daniel Rose-Troup) along with Robin Howe, have decided to call time on the band.

Jack and Robin broke the disappointing news on their MySpace page, stating: “We are sorry to announce that The Motorettes are no more, after Jed left it never really felt right again and so we decided to call it a day. We'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who ever came to see us, bought a single or album, or just checked us out on myspace.”

Jack and Robin will instead concentrate on their new band, Love Bites and Bruises – which you can check out here link.

Their first gig will be @ The Head of Steam, Newcastle on 09/07/08.
