Release Notes:

Formed in South London 1999 by Gaverick de Vis (guitar/vocals) and Manu Ros
(drums/bass), and recently augmented in 2004 by their 6th bassist Justin Stone,
Giddy Motors lock their jazz and punk-rock billygoat horns and let the sonic
wrestling commence.

Equally capable of displaying an affinity with Clear Spot era Captain Beefheart
or conjuring thoughts of The Pop Group's avant-punk experiments, Giddy Motors
defy easy categorisation, reconstructing influences in a context of their own.

Their critically acclaimed debut album "Make It Pop!", recorded at Electrical
Audio by Steve Albini, was released in September 2002 and off the back of it
came the singles "Magmanic", "Whirled By Curses" and tours of the UK, mainland
Europe and in 2003 a 10,000 mile tour of North America.

During the European and American tours the group had been in creative overdrive
, showcasing new songs on the road as they developed an increasing batch of
material. These new songs were honed through live performances which gave them
an urgency that the band were keen to get on record as soon as possible.

Demos were worked on and turned out to be closer to the real thing than the band
had expected, although at this time they did not realise that the musical
cohesion came hand-in-hand with another split in the group.

The demos that the band felt were good enough to release have possibly become a
posthumous album. But is this really the end? You never can tell with a band as
unpredictable, temperamental and vexatious as Giddy Motors.

Recorded for just £900 over 4 weekends by 21 yr old Tobias Warwick Jones in a
Greenwich Light-Industrial Unit, the music grabs you by the throat right from
the get go and doesn't stop shaking until it's good and ready.

It's hard to believe that such a big and powerful sounding record has come out
of such limited resources.

Markedly ironic in it's titling, this second and last(?) Giddy Motors album 'Do
Easy' will be released in August 2006.
